Whilst I'm not expecting the event will be thronged by Australians...on the off chance people in the UK find this first here is the link to the Redcar Landsailing facebook page.

This is the first time this venue has been used for a landsailing regatta and this event has the full backing of the local council who are going out of their way to promote this event. It's expected that there could be in excess of 100o spectators(!). There will also be chances for local journalists to be taken out in the 2 seater, handing out of leaflets to the public and a show and tell with as many different classes of land yacht as we can muster. Hell fire it's even got sponsorship from EDF energy If this event is a go'er the council will back it regularly and due to the way it is being organised and run it could get bums on seats and be a bit of a shot in the arm for numbers of sailors.
