Hi all,

I started a new thread as this is a different event that what has already been talked about.

Below is for the Goolwa to Meningie race 2011.

The race will be held Saturday 19th November 2011.

I have put forward a proposal to the Meningie Sailing Club. The organizers are going to take it to a vote on weather we can enter the Race.

The committee are interested, they have banned Sailboarders from entering as the are really hard to find when missing in the lake. Kites are unknown at this stage.

One thing they asked was if we could supply a rescue boat to help look after our group.

We need to find out who may be able to help with this. ( I am willing to drive the boat as my Knee injury would prevent me from racing)

Also every entrant would have to be a SAKSA financial member. This will need to be proven on the day. NO membership NO race. We may also have to look into carrying Mobile phones ( Just in case)

The committee will be getting back to me in the next week. I will keep everyone updated. They may say NO. If this is the case it will be for safety reasons, Nothing against kiting. Insurance is the problem.

We would also need volunteers to drive from Goolwa to meningie. this takes about 2hrs from Goolwa and there is NO short way. Drivers will not get to see the race as the road does not go anywhere near the race course.

I have competed and won this race, We hold the record for the first boat over the line in the longest time 6hr 45min. The race has a 7 hr cut off time.
