Have you got weather forecast already ?
Could be good time to invest in new sail and start practicing already

If there is still access available to records of last year competition ? It will be interesting to see what was the
most successful board and sail combination by then ( obviously the most important still remains skills but wrong equipment may ruin everything also)

Awesome, can't wait. I hope we have as much wind as last time. That race was full on. Are you combining that event with the waterloo cup Hooray?

This post was to let everyone know that preparations are underway for this years events and to give time for visitors to plan ahead.

If you are not a member of a windsurfing club, now is the time to join.

As per previous marathons, iCarbon (Pat) is the man in charge and he will be posting a new topic soon to cover the event.

The preliminary date for holding the Waterloo Bay Cup at RQYS of Sunday 10 November 2013 does not suit. The club will be tied up running school dingy racing on that day. The new proposed date to conduct the Waterloo Bay Cup in marathon slalom format at RQYS is Sunday 8 December 2013.
Best head to Bayside slalom event this Sunday!

I think you are misunderstanding. The race to Green Island is in the bay where Bayside Racing happens. Same place.

More good news!!!! Two times winner of the Waterloo Bay Cup, Brad Anderson will be giving a talk on his resent trip to Luderitz and Lake George.

For out of town competitors who wish to make a weekend of it, you will be able to camp at RQYS or stay at the RQYS Motel. There will also be a Saturday night BBQ for out of town sailors just up the hill from the yacht club.

Awesome, am really looking forward to this event. The last one was great, a real challenge and a great venue to sail out of. The bundies after were also most appreciated after the race.

I must have done something wrong in my previous windsurfer's life...
First date was during my exams and now I will be in New Caledonia at the same time and I'm going to miss a barbecue as well
