What happened to Sandy Point?

Just got off the phone with Brett and it seems that it is a combination of things including a lack of commitment from the original proposer to run the event and a perceived lack of commitment to attend from many of the interstate slalom sailors, not to mention that there is not a strong Victorian local slalom fleet to make up the numbers.
I think he was right to change the venue rather than have a poorly supported event throwing a lot of work onto a few local guys (me included).

For those that are still interested in coming to Sandy Point or have committed to being there for the week a few of us will try to make sure that we have some fun races and sailing appropriate for the wind conditions. I am thinking some simple, fun figure 8 slalom type races and, if the winds cooperate a couple of fun sails to the top of the inlet and back or the entrance and back. I was envisaging these more as a fun sail than a race, with a couple of stops along the way while everyone catches up and has a chat but I am open to all suggestions.

Of course, if it blows gangbusters we will be GPS speedsailing and trying to fill up the GPS top 10!

Slalom Nationals this weekend 8-9nov08. 11.30am sharp Briefing at Ramsgate Car Park, Botany Bay. With such strange wind directions forecast there is potential the venue will be moved to Doll's Point if SW or Kurnell if W or NW....

All levels welcome to compete, just register on the morning...cheers

Times are achangin'... in them's parts in the late 80s and 90s, a NE was about guaranteed at that time of the year, with the odd southerly, of course. No ifs no buts then. SW in November???

Funny, you wouldn't think it makes a big diff between Dolls Point and Ramsgate on a SW... about the same shoreline, really.

Anyhow, you guys have a ball !

Day 1.... SW (weird) winds, force the event to be moved down the bay to Doll's Point.
Only 1 table was completed with the final in the best conditions of the day.
Mike Nelson AUS-12 and Gareth Woods NZL are tied in 1st after a dead heat.

Tomorrow is looking a bit average, but we will keep out fingers crossed....

Did Allison sail her "door"?


Heard that she can even pull onto a plane at 4 knots.

She did, and there were a few doors out in the very fluky conditions.
