Marmong Mid-Winters 2008

MID-WINTER CLASSIC
2008 REGATTA

ALL CLASSES ARE WELCOME, FROM WALLIES TO RACEBOARD TO FORMULA

19TH & 20TH OF JULY 2008

Bruce,
Current average windspeed on weekends this winter is approx 6.574392 knots. Would suggest that slalom gear may not be neccessary for the mid winters. If you are going to bring any thing bring a pedestal fan.
Should the windspeed exceed 30 knots then I guess we will have to consider wally slalom, raceboard slalom and plain old garden variety slalom.
Racing will start at midday on Saturday, Huey willing and 11am on Sunday.
Should racing fail to find a winner, then the winner will be the person to consume the largest number of sausages on Saturday at the sizzle at the completion of sailing or waiting.

Wind! Sunday's forecast looks interesting!

Thanks to the Marmong crew again for running this event. Nice to get on the water again and to get 3 races done was a great effort considering the wind.

Also thanks to Karl Degras ( a regular on the forum but I won't give away his alias ) for taking the time to document the racing for Oz Windsurf. Look forward to seeing some of the pics when we can.

Sam.

I have a few good photos on my computer along with a good video of the start of the second race.

A full race report along with some other stuff will be in the next issue of Oz Windsurf.

We really enjoyed getting out on the boat and watching you guys going well when the wind picked up. Something different to what we normally do on the weekend.

I will try and post some here.

Edit: Posted three photos here in the Windsurfing section.
