Special Mentions to Georgia O'Shea, our Youngest Competitor at 15 and Lawrence Alderton, our oldest but by no means old at 83!
What other sport has an age range of 68 years competing together?
That's just one reason why our Windsurfer class is so special. Versatile and affordable for all, we had recent windsurfing students competing in their first regatta in cruiser division out there on Windsurfer LTSs - along with well renowned champions. We had one local on a windsurfer Original and old school rig circa 1980 that you can pick up for under $100 virtually anywhere and still had a good time. Reach out to a non windsurfing friend and see if each of us can encourage a new participant to our wonderful sport and the fun class.
Congrats everyone, hope to see many of you at Balmoral for round 3 of our spring into summer series on Saturday 5th December.

For the raceboarders, top three places went to:Jimmy Levy, Nathan Clift and Vaughan O'Shea defeating last years state champion, Grae Morris in Fourth. That's two youth sailors in the top four! It was good to have this crew along at the event as it added another element to a terrific display of windsurfing and course racing. The spectators were spoiled with a display of colour and action with fantastic weather.
