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

Sounds like a good event, maybe coming over for it as were not going for speed fortnight due to were going to WA instead.
10 registrations so far...and all the Vicco teams are represented.
It's a bit like the United Nations of Speed Sailing, as we've also got South Australians and Taswegians on the list.
Another great idea by IWC. Speed challenge by day, Bragging rights at the Pub by night.
