BYRA is hosting the marathon on Sunday with strong southerly forecast. A few of us did it last year on iQ/Formula Foil and it was great fun, especially after the wind got past minimum to foil and we were off! Great atmosphere, parkings a pain but worth it!

We (iQ / Formula Foil) are registering as "OTHER" with a yardstick of 70... whatever that means.
AUS-1977 registered.
I'm hedging my bets as to choice of sailboard class; WLT or RB (9.5 or 8.5 or 7.8); or perhaps WLT with 7.8 (within the raceboard category)
Hopefully I wont still be procrastinating when the gun goes!
Thewind component of theweather forecast has been very encouraging, but the last few days the averages have mostly been a lot less than forecast, but with some rather high gusts.
For the 'real time' wind & directionrecordingson race day > www.pittwaterweather.com and click on Scotland Is (very reliable readings in SSW to SSE) and also Stokes Point (however it is flat lining occasionally), it's good for SWest breeze, but being near the southern entrance to Careel Bay can be shielded from the SEast breeze, or reads as an Easterly wind when the SE funnels out of the bay.
Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday, rain, hail, or shine [I said that last year when the weather looked foul, and got roasted in a full steamer!]
