If it actually blows. Holding this event at Easter, right in end-of-season territory, is asking for disappointment.

whilst I like the cooler evenings this time of year, I feel the success rate of getting wind has been lower compared to having it in earlier in the year... This isn't based on any scientific findings, only experience of the past 9yrs

The following is a table that summarises sailing days per month from Burrum Heads over the last 14 years. The data comes from KA72. I've only counted days with a minimum 2 sec speed of 30kts. Further Burrum Heads is very tide sensitive. It's only sailable with a low tide less than 0.8m occurring sometime during the afternoon. This only occurs on average 12 days per month.

Statistically March is the best month with an average of 38% of tide sailable days with a 2 sec more than 30kts.
April is the next best month but statistically half as good.

Whatever it blows hope everyone has a fantastic time! Keeping fingers crossed for good wind for you all.

see you all there tomorrow!

Yes April in Qld is pretty good

Adding April 2023 to your table will shake it up a tad
