A new event on the calendar!

The Invitational is a weekend-long speed challenge. It is open to all GPSTC sailors, as well as anyone else who'd like to have a go.

Thanks to The Inverloch Tourism Association, cash prizes are on offer for the sailors who have the highest 5X10 average over the two days of competition.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three competitors in each division as follows:
Division A, B & C
1st Place: $200
2nd Place: $100
3rd Place: Sponsors Prize
Division D (Come'n'Try Division)
1st, 2nd and 3rd Place: Sponsors Prize

We will also be having a 'Nearest the Pin' competition. Competitors will be asked to guess before competition an estimate 5 x 10 sec average for over the weekend, and the competitor that is closest to this will be deemed the winner.
Nearest the Pin 1st Place: $100

For the ISI, there will be a social event on Saturday night (28th May) which will include dinner and entertainment as well as the notification of the anonymous top 5 postings of that days competition. The social event will double as the season closer for the Inverloch Windsurfing Club.

Inverloch and Anderson inlet has all the makings of a classic windsurfing venue. The waters of Anderson Inlet can provide fantastic bump'n'jump, freeride blasting and speed sailing, depending on a variety of weather and tidal conditions. The surf beach and mouth of the inlet offers some great intermediate wave sailing opportunities as well. There are a range of accommodation packages available.

If you're keen please drop an email to inverlochwindsurf@gmail.com to register for the event

With all these babies popping up, we may need to add another category?
!) Fastest delivery?

Maybe we should talk to Wonthaggi Bush Nursing Hospital and see if we can get a two-for-one deal?????

The Bono Blasters have made a strong entry, guess its to try and make up for their April GPSTC standing

Cremaster(s)! look it up in a dictionary - you may be surprised (muscle not the movie)

Jacques said he is in so that's pretty much the whole team at the moment!

Competitors shall possess valid third party liability insurance

Will this be enforced?? Could be an issue for everyone I know.

Will that policy cover just the event? And how much will it cost?

OK people, 1 1/2 weeks to go until the Inverloch Speed Invitational, inviting... everyone!!! We've been getting some great weather patterns through recently as you all would have seen from some very quick GPSTC posts in the past week from the Vic teams. On the inlet we've had 45+ kt winds ,sail blowouts and recorded times only a few knots slower than at the pit!!! Today I've picked up the prize money cheques and the trophies are currently being made.

An updated NOR & Event guide have just been released, they will be emailed out to everyone who has registered their interest and are available for download here: http://inverlochwindsurf.org.au/?page_id=135 ; Amendments have been made to sections regarding photography and insurance. Bank details have also been provided on the registration form.

So with this short amount of time to go...

* Sign up and get that registration in to us;
* Book your accommodation; and
* Get your gear ready for a huge weekend of racing!!


Looking forward to seeing you all down here in Invy!!!

Ok. Modified the wally for all day sailing so everyone is comfortable on the water. Just gotta figure out where to store the paper. Do people prefer the soft or re-cycled stuff.

Hi Evan. That would be Doug in his newly aquired Transit Van. He had to buy something big enough so that we can all fit inside and have committee meetings!

A few of the boys are suggesting that I should get a Mr. Whippy Sticker and have Greensleeves playing
