Gday everyone,
With a great looking southerly forecast for this Saturday (25th January) Marmong Point Sailing Club is going to run Heat 3 of the Brown Dog GPS Series.
The event will be help from the club, on George St, Marmong Point. Obviously wind dependent, but as soon as the wind is suitable we will start the Hour any time after 11am, so be there by then.
The southerly funnels down the lake perfectly towards Marmong giving a huge area for sailing. The rolling swell can also be a lot of fun, with some nice speed available running deep downwind in the flat troughs.
As with the past two heats, the Freerace format is simple.
- Everyone launches at the same place
- Sail as fast and as far as you can anywhere during a specific hour.
- Whoever has the highest average speed over the Hour, is the winner.
Some people find it faster to do long runs without many gybes, while others prefer shorter runs in flatter areas. There's plenty of options and variables to make it interesting and challenging.
Entry is free for existing MPSC members, or only $50 for new sailors, which includes a discounted membership to the club and the Australian Windsurfing Association.
