Notice of Race

http://www.baysidesailboards.com.au/notice/states%20notice2009.pdf

Here's looking forward to the biggest race meet in Qld this year. With local club rounds attracting upto 40 plus sailors, we are seriously looking to see 50 competitors come along and enjoy some red hot racing.

There are four fleets available from open to first time rookies. It is without a doubt that the rookie and freeride fleets this season have contributed to a huge growth in the number of competitors on the water. So we openly invite all that have yet to give slalom racing a try to head on down and check it out.

This is the last official event of the Bayside Calendar, so if the winds are kind and decide to blow, we are shaping up for a great meet.

Just a note - this event is over 2 days and both days count, so if you miss one you could still do well on the other. You will also notice that we are starting earlier in the day, and plan to run 8 races per day.

Any enquiries should be directed to [email protected]

See you on the water.

Ok guys and girls , it looks like wello is the venue , let hope the wind holds

forecast not looking good

Rolls of 20s ok with me!

day one action pictures !!! (no sailing, lots of talk)


checkout those flags.



here Ray is saying to Kim, "pull my finger and we'll have some wind !!!"

The wind gods are not with us this weekend so we have cancelled the racing for today.
At the moment the plan is for the event to be re run hopefully next sunday (one day event).
We will email out a new notice of race closer to time.

I have cancelled my date with Jennifer Hawkins to make myself available this Sunday.

I'm ditching a date with Tom Cruise for my Mum's lamb roast on Sunday too.

Good luck with the forecast guys - it's looking promising.

How do you reckon I will go getting out of my Mum's 70th??? It is booked for Sunday at 11.30am.

Wello is a fantastic location for all sorts of family events...

Without letting the cat out of the bag. It looks like we will be moving to manly due to the tide. We will have a 0.7m low at 1.30pm, so we should be able to race along the sand bank with little trouble. Wello would have the fleet just too far out to make it a spectator event, and we can stick an esky at the end of the rock wall for all sorts of refreshments during the racing.

Scot - sign on; lunch with your mum at wilsons boathouse then excuse yourself for a short toilet break say 45-60 min, return for coffee and cake, blow out the candles then off to the toilet again - it may seem peculiar that you are dripping wet and out of breath. But who am I to judge your toilet habits

Sorry for the late notice but its been one of those days.

We are on for sunday - the notice should be out tomorrow. The forecast is looking good for a south-easter, and as we are restricted by the tide we are moving the race to manly. The start time will be late morning at the moment but we will confirm it tomorrow.

For those that registered last week, your entry fees are carried over. For those that did not there Mikey will be waiting. The plan at the moment is to try and get 8 races, and if we are really lucky we will top the season off the way we did last year with an absolute cracker.

See you on the water.

Calling all racers

The notice of race is on the bayside website

I have hung off until now to try a get a forecast as close as possible to the day the weather bureau is as follows
[issued 0436 Friday]

FORECAST FOR MORETON BAY
Friday until midnight: SE/E winds 10/15 knots increasing to 15/20 knots in the
afternoon. Seas to 0.9 of a metre. A few showers.
Saturday: SE winds 15/20 knots. Seas to 0.9 of a metre. A few showers.
Sunday: SE winds 20/25 knots.

Lets hope it is right.

Please note that the venue is manly, the tide is low at around 1.30 pm but it is a big low at .7m. The plan is to get four races in then a break then four races in the afternoon . Pack yourself a lunch as we will not do the sausage sizzle till after racing is complete.

Hope to see you there
