Hi guys,

Posting that info here too, just to make it more visible:

==> in brief, wind permitting, we are having a friendly course racing event at Botany Bay this long WE to see how it goes.

See more info on the below (Important: please register there too if you are joining us, easy and free for all NSKBA members):

WANTED: If you know anyone with a boat (or with a licence to use a boat) keen to help, please let one of us know ASAP.

cheers
Jacques

It looks like it will be a bit rainy but there should be some wind. We have got a couple of jetski options now, thanks to the people lending equipment and time, a full run down of supporters will be given after the event.

The location at the moment is Frenchies (opposite Hollywood St) but this will possibly change on the day, the best bet is to register for the event on www.nswkba.com.au and get on the SMS notification list. We will be updating the website on Saturday morning to confirm the location.

Remember it is free but you need to read the racing rules and be at the skippers meeting at 2pm. See you there, if the weather isn't too bad South Sydney Kiting Club will be holding a season opening BBQ as well, check the events page for that

Cheers
Gavin

11AM Course Racing UPDATE - THE REGISTERED KITERS FOR THIS EVENT HAVE BE SENT AN SMS AT 11AM CALLING A POSTPONEMENT OF THE COURSE RACING DUE TO UNFAVOURABLE WIND DIRECTION

The SW wind look like they are staying, which would make the original location unusable as it would be slightly offshore and very gusty.

We can't set a course off Dolls as the water will be busy and we can't block the channel.

SW are a problem as if we get a runaway kite it could end up on the runway which we want to avoid.

SSKC is going to work with the local sailing club to come up with a course location for SW winds for future racing events.

We will reschedule for another weekend soon, thanks for all the support for the event, and thanks to Chris, Neil, Jacques, Pete and Ian for helping getting it set up.
