Had a great fund raising sausage at Bunnings on Saturday, Fun day but a lot of hard work,Thanks everryone who attended to help.
Sunday was an open day with a few visitors having a go in the cub yachts, The two seater was on the lake again. Thanks to Adam and co.
Next Sunday will be our first race day for the season.

Few pics that i managed to get during the day

the passenger in the 2 seater looked terrified. can i suggest fitting a sash belt over the outside shoulder. we fitted them to our 3 seater and the passengers were able to relax and enjoy the sail

We have been notified from the Department of Parks and Wildlife that the lake will be closed from next Tuesday 26 Apr 2016. This decision has been made due to the wet conditions over the last couple of weeks and the access track has started to suffer some minor damage. We hope to see you all there on Sunday for some great racing and a general catch up.

One of the last class5 races for the 2015-16 season, It was a great year thanks to everyone.
