Set you calendars for the 8th & 9th of October as the annual Ian Weigh GKI to Yeppoon Kite race is back on for its third consecutive year. Due to the success of the previous years events this year is planned to be bigger and better than ever.
The weekend event is for Kitesurfers and Windsurfers of all levels and kicks of 8am at the Freedom Fastcat terminal located on the Yeppoon harbour. Depending on the wind conditions we will either group Kite over to Keppel or just grab the Fastcat.
Once at the Island you can chill out for the day enjoying the glorious Great Keppel Island where you can take a dip, hit the watersports or sit down for a couple of cool beverages.
Accommodation is provided as part of the package and the Keppel Haven as well as dinner on the Saturday night and breakfast on the Sunday morning.
Come Sunday.
Get your game face on because the race will be on.
For those of you who cannot make the Saturday trip just catch the first boat over Sunday morning and join the crew.
We will depart Keppel as soon as the wind is pumping and aim straight towards the arrival point of the Yeppoon Sailing Club.

it's about a 35km round trip. The run to great keppel from emu park will be up wind if its SE, and I hope the run from keppel to yeppoon will be a nice downwind. It will be a great weekend!!!
