Hi Dolph (and any one else wondering about joining), no experience level needed. One of the things that convinced me to join up is that your scores cannot make things worse for the team you are in, they can only ever help.
The scoring is based on the average of the top 2 sailors in a team on the same day. So if 6 sail on a windy day only the top 2 scores matter.
Come on in, the water is great

those pInnas are quick on water and on computer! Join the Wannabees- better logo. We cater for slow old people and quick young people!

He's registered now, but neither captain has clicked "Accept" yet...

Can the Wannabees snap him up before the Pinnas nab him?

Welcome, Dolph.
Sorry, Toby.
You could always be a Pinna Wannabee

Welcome Dolph.
I agree. Ask Toby to join Pinnas, so we get Toby and a nice logo.

"Ma ant penis" or "Ta penis man" is an anagram of Team Pinnas

Secretly though, I know everyone really wants to belong to the Moreton Bay Mob

You could be onto something with the team name anagram here
Mandurah Mob = Badman Humour
Moreton Bay Mob = Momentary Boob

and GPS Team Challenge = Placement Haggles

All tongue in cheek, however.
Here's a tip for those teams chasing new members. I know its all the rage nowadays to text, twitter blah blah blah. But what works for PINNAS, (that's short for Pinneroo Point for yous unedumacted yobbo's)
Talking, you know that old tried communication system when you see another fellow windsurfer, eyeball to eyeball
Other than that keep an eye on those who ask for help on forums, or even hint at "whats this GPSTC thingy all about. spread the word. GPSTC is all about fun and team spirit and sailing 365 + 1 every leap year.
Works for the PINNEROO POINT MOB and the MM from crabland

Now WANNABEES, we amalgamating or what

True, and I wasn't ready then, and didn't think my GPS is up to scratch.
Then Mark spent a lot of time with me to get my GPS sorted out and because I live in Padbury, where Pinnaroo Point is the closest sailing point it seems logical...

I was afraid this may come up, and was a bit embarassed.

Then again, since when would I be such an asset to any team? My top speed is 20knts, and that's probably measured whilst I was catapulted over

I like your logo better than the one you drawn for us, that's for sure...

we are all friends here, and you win some you lose some.

As for your speeds, we are all at different stages in the learning process but on the same wave length! ( i repeat that too myself as I look at my rankings, my speed and my distance....)

on the logo thing I am racking my brain for a " good logo" idea and keep coming up -ZIP
now "logo for pinnas" thats a thread for you mineral....

Here are two I put out to the team a while ago but didn't get much of a response.
Not as polished (cool) as Toby's but I tried.

Good start Lao Shi.
I like some elements but overall I think it should be simple and a bit more polished.

Do we have artists in the group, or amongst friends?
Anita is into art, but is too busy with her glass violin.

Bloody Hell Toby!!!!!!! Look what you've started. From now on you will have to send any posts thru to Jet for screening as it seems he has to take on the role of RESPONSIBLE ADULT for the Mighty Wannabees

Now stop baiting the Pinnas or they will get an inferiority complex

(Quietly Toby, THE FLYING PINNAS could be a good line of attack in the future mate[}:)][}:)][}:)]. Good logo opportunities for sure.[}:)][}:)])

Gotta go, Jet just walked in.
