Twilight sailing not Racing is happening again this year starting from Wednesday.

Not twilight racing this year just a good old fashioned cruise and tune up session as every time we organise a night at Balmoral we get skunked. This year is going to be different as far the wind goes but just in case we'll have some Stand Up Paddleboards there to make sure we'll get to the water.

Venue: Balmoral Sailing Club.
Time: 5pm.
Contact: Sam, Chris, James. 9971 0999.

It'll run all Summer. If particular days are looking sweet we may try to plan one even up to the day before but Wednesday will be our regular.

As for when we stop we'll go until daylight saving ends or until no-one turns up.

Nice....I was thinking about doing something similar in Rose Bay, Sydney. Getting to Balmoral is just too far for us Eastern suburbs snobs.... If anyone else is interested then e-mail me on [email protected]
Cheers

Looking good for decent breeze later today! Who's in?

I'm running 5.6km

Greetings,

Does a NE'r work at Balmoral?

I currently have my school sport at Balmoral (sailing & windsurfing) and can honestly say that a good NE does get in there. The side on wich the big white light house seems to get a steady NE which is squeezed between the two headlands. I have seen some slalom guys moving very quickly out there. Lanuching is a complete bitch! You need to walk/swim out almost past the line of boats moored (its pretty shallow) right at the southern end of the beach near the sailing club, waterstart and away you go. It does get very gusty and shifty sometimes.

Last year I headed to Long Reef for guaranteed session NE wise and nothing! But there was 15knts at Balmoral for a fun session - go figure.

Take your big gear. I have some fun on a 7.5 and Starboard Go.
cheers
Tim

Sure am! Are you guys sponsoring it?

Sam will there be a chance of jumping on some modern light wind gear tonight?

what happened to the wind?

Killed it big time. The storm clouds started brewing over Warragamba and there was a big dark thunderhead that backed the sea breeze right off.
After everyone decided that it was a no go the clouds slowly moved away and the wind seemed to pick back up again for a little while. Dont know if anyone sailed at Botany, Balmoral or Narra. From Sat on it looks like being great cond.........
Ill stop right now for fear of Huey listening in.

I don't feel so bad now that I was stuck at the JP Morgan Corporate run with Crash watching thousands of girls in singlets and 3/4 lycra tights running around Centennial Park
Anyone heading to Umina this weekend camping or is it just me? Hopefully someone else will be out sailing Broken Bay...

I can't believe she didn't know where she worked....and she wasn't even blonde!!!!

What time does racing start at Dobroyd? Do you need to register?

We are back on tomorrow night down at Balmoral.

The more the merrier so come on down. We won't be racing but are going to be doing a bit of tuning and just freesailing for anyone who's keen.

Cheers,

Sam.

First week yet that the storms held off until after we came in.

Nice nights sailing in about 20ish knots NE with a couple of quiet ones afterwards.
