Apologies for the very late notice but we are running a Division 2 regatta at Gosford sailing Club this weekend. The aim is to have 2 racers on Saturday and 3 on Sunday. If you can only make one day ,no problem. So if you have a D2 and want to give it a run the get in touch. I t would be fantastic to see as many of these classic boards back on the water.

Good morning all,
At this stage the forecast is looking like an exciting Saturday (15-20 knots) and an ideal Sunday (around 8-10 knots) for Div II.
I'd be curious how many are planning on attending to get a gauge on numbers. If anyone is planning on attending could you please post a note on this post?
At this stage, I'm only aware of 2 definite starters.
John.
Hi all, hope you all have a ball.
I think the last time I sailed Div II was at GSC, probably around '88 trials time. I had Ayreforce in spruking the regatta tonight but I don't think it would have happened for me.
Fair winds and true courses all!

Team Gosford,
I'm sure Saltyheaven would have come along and provided close competition up the front, however he's responded from somewhere in Europe so you'll have to host another D11 event in 2018.
I'm keen for a bit of racing - but pretty unsure about whether I can handle a D11 in Saturday's forecast wind, and get there in time through the Sat morning holiday traffic - perhaps i'll hedge my bets and bring the RB
Hi Jethrow and Aryeforce1,
Pity you can't make it Jethrow, I think we're probably going to be short on numbers. Gosford conditions haven't changed much, so you're 1988 experience would have served you well.
Ayreforce1, ok to bring the Raceboard. Briefing is not till midday. So if you leave now you should make it, we might even get you rigged :) Seriously though, if you get to Gosford by 11:30 you should have plenty of time...
John.
