Beach 3 is my local and I can tell you now I will be riding there during the duration of the event. I seriously doubt they will be inside the reef anyway.
I was riding last summer when they where running some test races on the courses as outlined in the PDF.
The course markers where well offshore from beach 3 around a K or more.
Shutting down Perths best flat water spot for a bunch sailors is not going to go down well amongst the people that wait all winter for this spot!
Not just a bunch of sailors, but the world's best sailors...
It probably won't be so much the racing but the beach access. Standard regatta format is to run one race in the morning, then have a lunch break, then in the afternoon. The guys will probably lay up their boats on the beach between races.
