In the RB? Next you will be doing the LOC. Maybe a good idea.

Latest from Fremantle Sailing Club & WWA
Rule #1 - There are no rules (SEE BELOW)
Rule #1a - We only leave the beach if it's a seabreeze

SAFETY EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
As per King of Carnac AND DOT requirements (www.transport.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/marine/MAC-B-KiteWindsurfingSafetyEquipC.pdf). Race will be greater than 2nm offshore therefore you will need:
1. PFD
2. Flares
3. PLB
4. Sail Numbers (as per AWA list)

REGISTRATION LINK - www.fsc.com.au/event/rockingham-to-fremantle-dash/
1. You need to be a current WWA member (don't leave it until the morning of the event. Member list will be sent a day or 2 before hand) - windsurfingwa.tidyhq.com/public/memberships/new
2. You will need to list your AWA sail number (NOT ONE YOU MAKE UP ON THE DAY). As WWA is not running the event we will be providing a copy of the AWA Sail Number list to FSC.

AWA Sail Number Register - www.windsurfing.org/sailnumbers.htm

I'm wondering why its supposedly 2 nautical miles offshore though...

I'm in, going shopping for a plb tonight

Aaaww., why not. 30ish km down wind will only take 45min in a nice 9.5 breeze then coming home about 1.5-2hrs. But then you you could also sail through to majestic point.

Better still, sail there & back, good training!

I was just thinking the same thing madlad and spoke to the WWA pres.
There are a couple of companies who rent/hire PLB's
Adventure Rentals being one of them.

www.adventurentals.com/safety.html
www.adventurentals.com/shareplb.html

In case anyone was interested in hiring a PLB, the cost is $55 for a day with a $200 deposit.

Cheers

Calling all downwind specialists.
Fremantle Sailing Club has been in contact to see if Windsurfing would be keen to join in the Rockingham to Fremantle dash. If we get 5 sailors signed up they will create a fleet for us. You need to be a WWA member and have sail numbers - preferably the number issued by AWA when you became a member.

Will this still be run if it's not down wind?

Don't forgets

if the race is going ahead, the registration and briefing is actually at fsc dinghy clubhouse on Friday night 1800 hrs

Peel inlet will be better on that forecast

Info from FSC

Good Afternoon Competitors Unfortunately due to the forecast we are not running the Rockingham to Fremantle Dash this weekend. We are looking at future dates in our calendar to run the event later during the summer. Sorry for the inconvenience, can you please pass on this message to anybody else you knew that was interested Thanks
