Just a quick reminder that the Waterloo Cup is being held this weekend on Sunday the 18th at Manly Harbour in QLD.

It is looking like there is going to be a big turnout with good winds predicted and a king tide of 2.6m.

There will also be some race events on the day so turn up for an enjoyable day or look into becoming a member of the WQ club and get involved in the racing.

Re the question of the life jackets. These are required as part of the duty of care responsibilities for insurance. There are a limited number of spares you can borrow from the club if you don't have one but it would be best to bring one along to ensure you get a start.

Ray has also informed me that there will be a GPS prize on the day (fastest GPS speed) so bring along your speed gear for at least one race Vando.

Hi Haircut, Manlys good on a SE wind. you can sail between manly and green Island about 4 km runs. You get some nice swells out towards green.I think you would enjoy it there.

Re: GPS times, I haven't talked to Ray about that one - it was a late decision but it may just be the best max speed on the watch forthe day (so don't reset your max speed data). Otherwise Justin said he may bring his laptop down, if that fails (plan C) we can have people send their data in as per a GPS event and give a belated prize.

Option one seems like the most favorable to me.

Congratulations to Vando for his 3 race wins to clinch the inaugural Waterloo Bay Cup. He was just tooooo fast for the other 20 starters.

The conditions at Manly Qld were perfect for the 800m slalom course with 15-18knot winds.

Winners were Vando Open
Simon Masters >35
Albert Grand Masters >55

Thanks to Windsurfing Queensland organizers for such a great event.

Next Event:-Qld State Titles ,07 -25th March with end of season party after.

Hooray for now
