Anyone up for a gps 1hr around a fixed lap (boat ramp to first channel marker on the way to scientific platform) at Novara on Saturday afternoon?
I can lend some units if somebody doesn't have one.
Start time to be confirmed if there is enough interest.
Reply here so we can see if there is enough interest.
Boat ramp here www.google.com.au:443/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode&q=novara+mandurah&sll=-25.335448,135.745076&sspn=63.190312,114.169922&ie=UTF8&hq=novara&hnear=Mandurah+Western+Australia&ll=-32.569926,115.675864&spn=0.015009,0.027874&z=16&iwloc=B
We can decide on the day if the platform is better. The marker is safer for intermediates as it is shallow up to it. I tried it yesterday and about 18-20 gybes at good pace so I think any further makes it less of a challenge.
Shane I have a unit you can borrow with a waterproof pouch.
Let's pencil in a 2pm meet.
Oh it's in Mandurah. Normally I would do it but the clutch in my car is almost stuffed so I might have to stick to the river this weekend. I'll have it fixed next week so next time I'll be able to make it for sure. Thanks Mark!
Good turn out. Just enough wind for the hour.
Congratulations to Recycle on being the first hour challenge champion.
Closely followed by Claude.

The track from Mr Consistent- Hardie
I am defining strict as on my timing of the race on my software. I get 21.13 for the loose hour but Hardie posted 21.08. I think Hardie got the best start and he stopped only just after the hour so the two numbers should be very close.
