The Cup that goes to the winner of the Mandurah Marathon 42km race, weather/winds permitting either Jan 1 or 2 2011
glad you were wearing your reg grundies in the pic. 
see you from the spectators grass.
This will be a WWA run event
You need to be a WWA member to enter
2 Races in one starting together
You register for the Race u want to be in before the event
One race is the true Marathon 6 legs of 7km = 42km and for the Crasher Cup
Other race is 2 legs of 7kms 14km for fun and for the less serious/fit
Jan 1 o2 2011 weather/wind permitting Race start 2pm or 3pm depending on wind
Online registration beforehand would be preferable via the WWA site.
We DO NOT WANT to be signing up new members on the day, we much prefer to do it online beforehand. This keeps all the records nice and clean and makes a nice dated and time paper trail in case of insurance issues if they ever arise.
wwa site updated: http://www.windsurfingwa.org.au/index.php?option=com_eventlist&view=details&id=57:gpstc-2in1-race-mandurah&Itemid=17
However you need to be on the wwa homepage to login (a silly bug) then proceed top the event page.
cheers
Just to clarify.
You need to be a WWA member to take part in the event.
If you are not a member and wish to take part please join via the website.

What if you're already a WWA member but you're not sure at this stage if you're going to enter or not?
Can you enter the race on the day?
Yes there is some confusion, eg 1 Race Registration and 2 WWA membership
My understanding is this: In order to register you need to be a WWA member and this needs to happen before race day. Once you are a member of WWA you can register for one of the 2 races on the day itself.
Can this be clarified by WWA please.
Hardie is correct.
If you could register your interest on the website that would help us with planning but it is not a contract. There is no entry fee as it is covered by your membership.
You need to be a member by the 31st in order to be a part of the event.
If you are not already a member you need to register on the website (choose a username and password) then join through the site via paypal.
Then go to the event page and register for the event.
If you are already a member and do not want to register for the event before hand. You can register on the day.
Clear as Mud? How did life become so complicated?!
Are there any hire shops down that way that will be attending.
Will be in perth but not bringing my gear over . I can probably hire something in perth and drive down but would be easier if there I can pick up something to ride down there :)
Will be using my dads car which only has soft roof racks he uses for a kyak so dont really want to travel with boards on top
Cheers

Merry Xmas everyone, we have said its not necessary to register interest on the WWA website and only 5 windsurfers have, since we left it open that official registration would happen on the day, lets hope a lot more turn up than the 5 nutters (Including me
) who bothered to express an interest
7 nutters have expressed an interest lets hope thats about 20% of who's actually going to turn up, on Windguru Mandurah Sat 1st is looking the pick of the days (Edit 7pm update, now Sunday looking better), but still too early to call, depends on what this High Pressure system does
9 have registered interest and I have about 6 personal expressions of interest, so thats a 15 so far, hopefully a quarter of who will turn up on the day?????????
I keen but my grand masters memory means I can not remember anything including my wwa login details
10 Website expressions of interest and 12 verbal confirmations, so thats 22, thats probably enuff for an interesting race, be nice if double that turned up on the day, Saturday the 1st of January looking the day at this stage
Great........ my latest geusstimations with what I've been told is about 30 starters almost for sure, and another 10 to 20 maybes? So we could have a gd turn out, ?????? The more indicate the better for organisers either here on this thread or the WWA website, ta
Latest BOM forecast: Saturday: SE winds 18/23 knots tending S/SW 20/30 knots in the afternoon, returning SE 15/20 knots inshore late evening.
Warning: This appears very optimistic to me, (except for Rottnest Island) if you look at synoptic charts and windguru, more likely to be 15 to 20kts on the estuary
just turn up with all your kit and it should be apples
If the wind doesn't happen Hardz has been taking interpretive dance lessons and is happy to put on a demonstration
Latest Forecast: Saturday: SE winds 18/23 knots reaching 20/30 knots offshore in the morning.
Winds tending S/SW 20/30 knots in the afternoon, returning SE 15/20 knots
inshore late evening. Seas 1.5m to 2.5m. Swell to 4.0m.
Windguru Mandurah
2pm 13 to 16kts
5pm 14 to 19kts
Windguru probably more accurate for Mandurah than Bom, which has to forecast out to Rottnest waters
Synoptic Chart, shows a Trough Line right on the coast, which could influence whether we get a strong seabreeze of a moderate southerly?
Latest reports if winds are good, people are talking maybe 50 starters? But who knows?
the clever chickens have it in the lee of halls head at the offshore sailing & fishing club semi obstructed from a southerly of any kind.
