Hello
the much anticipated event is on this weekend.
Encourage everyone to come along for a social gathing and sail.

The event includes gps, slalom and freesailing.
At the moment the winds are not looking that strong, with most likely seabreezes.
Even though it is the King of dorans it might have to be held on Cremorne lagoon.
As seabreezes are likely we will meet at 1pm Saturday ( if it looks like strong winds earlier then 11am).
As this is fun event membership to windsurfing Tasmania is not necessary.

Membership forms will be available for those wishing to join.

Updates will be posted here closer to the weekend


Cheers Damien

I would prefer to sail at dorans despite wind conditions because i have had trouble with some of the bumpy terrain in the parking area, its not good for the suspension on the jaguar.

#### bump ####

If it is at the pond, please remember to drive in slowly and try not to piss off the residents otherwise the event will be as big a success as it should be.

Cheers Russ

does that mean a nudie dance around the fire of Anthony's pride again ?

Looks like a sea breeze tomorrow.
If it is howling from the west/nw early we will go to dorans. (11 am), otherwise 1pm cremorne). Check posts and updates in am ( feel free to voice opinions).

cheers Damien

oh well!, small fins at 3.00

A we still meeting at 1pm @ Dorans and going from there

I WON

as the only one to go around both bouys after the committeee boat dropped them I declare me the winner

Looks SE at the moment, who knows if it warms up enough that might help a seabreeze happening. Otherwise I might go and try and catch some salmon at the lagoon entrance at low tide. Have there been many around lately?

So due east ATM from lauderdale

Where Clifton beach?

Heh Heh Heh. You blokes should of been up here yesterday. 10-20 knot northwesters averaging over 15. Iceman was cruising on the 140l with the 7m sail. Even found a nice spot at low tide that was behind a little sand bar.

Yep the NE won in the end. Came in at Goats about 4.30, I went and had a look but it was a bit flukey and low tide with solid 3 foot sets. I ended up going up to Dorans (I had to take dvd back to shop) and having a bit of a blast around in12-15 knots. When I came home Goats was and still is 25 knots, apparently 15 minutes after I left it picked up to that strength, Bugger!
Ah well it looks like I might of won 'King of Dorans' will post on GPS Team Challenge shortly.

Have a look at Iron Pot to see what the wind did, remember it blows 20-30 minutes earlier at Goats than Iron Pot.

Yeh! not worth hanging around all day for a 'maybe' sail. Really nice to meet you and your Dad.

Thanks heaps for the link to the comp. I now have this huge smile on my face

Hopefully we get Henty and we all beat it

Sorry you guys didn't get the wind over the weekend, I feel kinda responsible cos my daughter said she didn't want any wind cos it would bugger up her wedding, so being a god (daughter fearing man) I had to ask Hughy to keep it calm. Sooo soooorry
