After a brilliant day at Area 45 for our first GPS free race day everyone, (except our president who has gone on holidays!! and mumbling something about family time) is chaffing to do it again.

13 or 14th February - we will pick a day dependent on the best conditions and set up a Green Light/Red Light system on Seabreeze and IWC fb page to notify people.

We are wanting it to be held at Swan Bay area or Sandy Point

GPS Free Race - half hour recording of your average speed. Two sessions

Slalom Racing

and as always with IWC trying out something different

DRAG RACING

See following video kindly put together by KATO



This event is pitched for all skill levels so if you are planning come and join us GPS or not

Lets have some fun!!

Great news Doug!

Early indications are that a perfect SW wind will blow on Sunday and that would suit Sandy Point! In fact it looks SSW which is great for drag racing and GPS Feerace because it's less broad on the sand spit. Let's see how the forecast develops over the week.

I have to move commitments around to make it. Still not sure if I can!

The racing format will allow all sailors to compete in a race or two or three during the day.
For those with GPS's please remember to bring your USB cord so we can upload the GPS files to the Freerace software. Software will accept GT31 and Canmore. PM me if you have a different GPS to see if we can download the files.

Currently Sunday is looking good for Sandy Point with wind and good midday tides. Will notify here and on the Inverloch Windsurfing Club fb page with Red light or Green light.

Final call Friday
