Some Changes for the divisions at Burrum this year. All age divisions are gone, replaced by the divisions listed below. Overall results are made up from the results of the 500m, Nautical Mile and 1-hour.

I'm still hoping in the future we can split the windsurfing to just speed based rather than age or gender.

Classed off 5x10 PB data off KA72 or GPSTC

Sub 30knot "Rookie"
Sub 35knot "Intermediate"
the Rest "Open"

Most sailors that head up know who their peers are, why throw a rookie in with the opens when it serves only to demoralise them?
Give them a class so they can battle it out... same with the intermediate...

I'm pretty sure everyone would be patting the person on the back that say gets a PB takes out the class and elevates to the next class the following year.

I'm just hoping for a good forecast to warrant some days off work to go up there...

As much as being referred to as a "Rookie" makes me feel young, could we change that category to something else like "slow bastards" or the "yet to crack 30s"?

I was waiting to see if that would stir people up... whilst totally being light hearted about the naming, the conversation I wanted to get going on it...

how about

Enthusiast
Aficionado
Maestro

haha I'm sure we can think of better ones

I vote for Maestro ........Or how about the "Semi's", or maybe the "Groovers" or the "Less slippery" ?. Probably the least offensive (if you're into that sort of thing) would be the "B team".

What about a Nurophen cup .

By the look of the people I know on there only looks like a couple of years ago
but I recon its 2009

This is the first we have heard of it. It does read as if it is down the end of Burrum Street. All the permits are in place as usual.

I sailed Burrum yesterday, above the large washout on the main bank. The formation of the bank between the 4th and 5th beacon is the best I've seen for a few years.

Registration is showing as currently not available on the site, has anyone else managed to register this morning?

The website is up and running again. The problem may reoccur again tomorrow but we will keep monitoring it.

Just checked the website and it is accepting entries.

Be alright going out

lets hope the forecast changes
