Stern Chaser (Inc. WV Course Racing Series Rnd)
The next big event is the Stern Chaser hosted by Elwood Sailing Club, The ZU Boardsports and Windsurfing Victoria on the 16th Feb 2013.
This event also includes a round of the WV Course Racing Series as pre-race event if you would like to join in.
How does a Stern Chaser work?
We send the wave and freestyle sailors out towards a gybe mark where one of the safety boats is located. We then send the freeride and then the slalom sailors out. This allows for all sailors to be able to come back to the finish line at beach at the same time. Each race is only one lap and we try and have as many races as possible. An event you can not miss.
Please note; If there is light winds we will have WindSUP races, with some spare SUPs supplied by The ZU.
What is a Course Race?
We start from a start line on the water and race around a triangle course with a direct upwind leg and two broad reach runs.
Where?
Elwood beach in front of the Elwood Sailing Club.

Any current AWA member (e.g. Windsurfing Victoria member)
