I'm Driving up leaving Brisbane on 7th June and staying for the Nats then driving back on 29th & 30th.
Hoping to get plenty on Windsurfing in and with a bit of luck may attemp a 24hr run just before the Nats - with support boats etc..
I'll be towing my trailer up with only me in the Jeep... a big adventure..

can't wait..
Cheers
Dave

Hi,
On the club membership thing necessary for participation, sail numbers and insurance it seems like we in NQ would have to join up somewhere way down South or West. Any ideas which is best value?

Try the Windwanderers or Bayside windsurfing clubs - both Qld based.

For your info, WindWanderers is almost in end-of-season mode. I've been beavering away improving the online speed comp in preparation for some new stuff, which will start to appear next month.

Also, from 1st May, we will start offering reduced rate membership renewals for people already in the club, and 14 month memberships for people thinking of joining. These would run through to 30 June 2014 and cover you for any Australian racing in that period.

More will be posted on the Windwanderers website this weekend, but if anyone wants to know more, feel free to contact me.

Cheers,

Dylan.

Awesome forecast!

I have booked a room at Graftons - apparently this is right off the ferry and has cheap beer for competitors... very important :)

There is talk amongst some to head up a little early and get dialed into the spot - anyone else heading up?

Congrats to Ian Fox, AWA and all others involved for all the effort they have put in and will put in to make this event happen. Good work guys and Im sure I speak for many of us when I say a BIG THANKS!

The only Graftons hotel I can find is about a 20 minute drive south of Cairns ??
Event accommodation is Getaway on Grafton St.
http://www.greenislandnats.info/ is this the place you were talking about.

Cairns has endless options of venues that offer cheep beer- thats if you can get pass Salthouse !!
Gilligans is popular for cheep accommodation and the best nightclubs.
And if you end up at the Woolshed, be afraid be very afraid !! You have been warned !!
