GTC: WA Individual Rankings for 2012

snides8 — Thu, 24 May 2012 21:40:01 +0800

Seen the other states do this, so thought I'd give it a go, wish someone could do a printscreen shot for me, and post in this thread?
Led by a man that only joined this year, and a reason for Manbra Mobs resurgence Also Note, Lot of the Manbra Mob's rankings come from Shark Bay trips, whereas Stroppo hasnt been, and Chris Adamson went to Lake George, SA, so makes Stroppo even more impressive He might even give Slowey competition if he gets serious!

formula Racing

scarrgo — Fri, 18 May 2012 21:18:59 +0800

after a quick blast on some borrowed kit today and sailing past a couple of 14 footers i went back to Perth dinghy sailing club to talk to my dad, i also had a bit of a chat to one of the guys i had sailed past who is also the commodore of PDSC and after i said that there may be a few formula guys looking to get some racing together he offered us the option of racing at PDSC on saturdays during the sailing season, this would be fantastic if there is some interest to do this. PDSC is a fantastic club to run formula racing from because of it's canteen, nice grassed rigging area, a nice beach to launch from with cross shore winds in summer, great racing in the flat Matilda bay and last but probably most important for a few a great bar open after racing

just like to know who would be interested in coming and doing some formula racing next season at PDSC and don't say your interested if you plan to show up once a month i mean put your hands up guys if you recon you would want to do ...

Bustin' ma leg at gearies today

Bertie — Wed, 09 May 2012 23:39:09 +0800

Megga thanks to the kiter (jason??) who dragged me back to the beach.
And to Nils and his dad, and the others for pulling my gear off buckets (lucky it was super high tide, not a scratch!!)

Looks like the Ankle isn't broken but my right MCL is torn. Off to get an MRI now.
Looks like 6 weeks in a brace, 2 on crutches then all winter rehab :(
Anyhow will find out more soon but hopefully the rest of my knackered knee is ok.

Also looking for someone to fix a leaking tile roof.

Any reccommendations appreciated.

Lucky Bay Wind Reading

Subsonic — Mon, 07 May 2012 19:27:15 +0800

Is it usual for Melville water Wind meter to be on the low side for a North Westerly.

I haven't been down there for about 2 years and was thinking of dropping in this afternoon, but compared to the opther graphs it looks rubbish?

Also is there likely to be much Kite traffic there.

Cheers

WWA end of season party!

Mark _australia — Fri, 04 May 2012 19:09:34 +0800

I'm coming over to Perth for work for a couple of days in mid-May.

Most of the days I'll have free so was wondering where I might hire gear, and sail at this time of year? What are my chances?!

What's with this ????

Mark _australia — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 21:53:56 +0800

The BOM forecast for Saturday and Sunday - this weekend and the Seabreeze graphs don't match????

Is this so we we can't handle a sail after the "End of Season" pi__up and you get the beach to yourselves?????

tending N/NW 20/30 knots offshore early evening. Seas 1.0m to 2.0m. Swell to
1.5m.
Swell at Cottesloe: to 0.5m.

2012 LOC T-Shirts

Mark _australia — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 09:13:03 +0800

Just wondered if others were also still waiting on receiving this year's LOC T-shirt. Our addresses were taken at the time of registration and we were told that we would receive them in the post. I emailed loc@lancelinoceanclassic.com.au several weeks ago but haven't heard back.

Kite recovery - THANK YOU.

R1DER — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:58:11 +0800

On Good Friday a windsurfer (don't know your name), recovered and returned to the beach my kite, lines and bar at Point Walter about 0945WST. Much appreciated - and a very big THANKS.

Bye-bye Nina, Hello Doctor

Woot! Good news.

"The 2011-2012 La Nina that parched Argentina and brought rains to Southeast Asia has ended, according to Australia's Bureau of Meteorology, adding to assessments from Indonesia to Britain that the event has passed."

Perth City Sailing in a Westerly

premo — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 11:58:41 +0800

Hi

I am pretty new to WA and am looking for somewhere to sail in a westerly that is close to the city (ie a sneak out of work sail) so it would need to be on the river.

I am assuming Pelican point is a no go, i have heard mention of majestic point but am struggling to it find on google, am assuming it is applecross.

Could anybody let me know where you sail at majestic point (and anything i need to avoid as i have some nice new fins !!) and exactly where it is, any other city sailing locations for a westerly greatly received !!!

thanks

Max

strong wind warning

scarrgo — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 20:09:04 +0800

I have some inside information that we are in for wind over the next week or so. A certain metro area sailor has just taken ownership of a some new formular kit and is keen to use it. You will recognise him easily. He has the same traits as a jack russell (small in stature but with plenty of yap)

So pack the 5.0's as she's gunna blow hard
