FORMULA RACING – Tempted to course race? Now’s the time to get kitted up and get into it. We’ve got our State series coming up with the first of the series on Sunday the 17th of October. There are the National Titles in Melbourne in January and the World Titles in Melbourne late next year. If there are budding World Champions out there, sailors who just can't resist that competitive urge, or youngsters who’d love to get into racing - we’d like to do all we can to encourage you into it. If you haven't given those big boards a try - borrow one soon - planing in no knots is quite fun....

Check out www.windsurfingwa.org.au for more details.

I just get told to post stuff, i dont usually check stuff,..sorry..

Paul D,
I am just the one that posts stuff on Seabreeze.
I do not have permission to change things that people ask me to post.
This is the race committees role to determine pricing.

I totally disagree with paying $70-80 for racing.
I would only want to pay $50 for all 4 races.
As a result I will probably turn up to all races, but if the weather doesnt suit my equipment, i aint going to be racing.

So in future Paul and other Seabreeze users., any issues you may have, can you direct them towards the President of WWA or Vice president of WWA please.I dont want to hear about them cause I have so many other WWA issues to deal with. and the above people are in direct responsibily of the issue at hand. Their details are on the WWA website.

You guys must understand that I am not the front person of WWA, the above guys are. Im just the guy who gets given stuff to post on the web.

Regards
Chad Silver

Thanks for the reply, nothing personal intended , chad i will also only race if conditions suit my gear , and paul fair comment i might just come to a meeting and contribute to the formula section.

Good stuff! My thoughts about racing are put down at www.seabreeze.com.au/info/racing.asp . It's awesome fun.

I reckon the $20 is good value for the opportunity to pit your skills against others in a controlled racing environment. i.e. WWA volunteers set up buoys (need a boat), provide controlled starts, are properly officiated, people scoring, trophies, etc...

PLUS, you'll be racing against some of the better sailors, so there's a huge learning curve to be had. Coming last is a great motivator to improve your sailing skills, which in turn brings more fun

Have fun .. Lozza

The results should be up tomorrow or the next. Just a few information transfer problems for the first results to use the new website.
The wwa webmaster has the results now so please check back soon.
sorry for the delay
cheers

Course racing in wa is not strictly formula at the moment just rock up with what you can get hold of.
Formula rules may be found here www.formulawindsurfing.org/

Not sure on WWA priority rules, however I thought the beauty of Formula was the ability to cater for a wide range of sailing abilities, body weight, sail sizes etc...and seeing that it is the "Formula Windsurfing State Titles" isnt 20 kts about light on to be stopping Formula racing??
I am very confident that Nationals on East Coast will be held in way over 20 kts as per previous East Coast State and National events.
Given the limited number of FW events over the 04/05 calendar and the FW National event qualification criteria, I would have thougfht fW racing would be held in wind strengths well over 20kts?
Besides it makes for a challenging event!!
Keen on thoughts?

Let see... "Pelican Point Windsports - State Formula Class Titles"

Can't see the word slalom in there. Nothing about only for lightweights with big sails. It's not race series or course series or priority course but WA Formula Titles.

Just my view....
