Hi Subsonic, Patrik told me on Monday as far as he was aware it was 21 km. Is 40 km accurate ? Perhaps he said or meant nautical miles.The original poster upoz said 21 km. What is the correct length ? Cheers R

I spoke to Patrik about this at the Swan River Festival Of Windsurfing and he said the 40 kms length is a mistake. He said the new course is only 1 km longer than the old course.

I have entered the daggerboard division, with forecast looking great for that category. Where is the "who is going" button ? Can you please make it available ? Thanks a million.

Need to be logged in, then you'll see it next to the "Register" button.

Thanks Obelix.
