Early entries generally get better positions on the marathon start line.
Paypal available
Cheers

Maybe post the date cos a lot of people are assuming it is the same time as normal but it is a week later.


Sat 14th Jan for marathon right?

Would be nice if there was a definition of "Master".
I suspect I qualify, but not really sure.
I was thinking about going over for it next year. Bucket list thing, ya know.

I did it a couple of years ago on my Acid 80...

You're just chicken, go on, admit it

so how do you tell what start line position you got? i have a number 200 on my confirmation. what does that equate to on the grid.

Oh Dear! Looks like you have left it a bit late Troppo. 3rd row back down the far end.[}:)] Jet got 180 something so we will look you up on the day to see how it all stacks up.

Wannabees in top 10 in 2012?

I'll bring up the rear again...just watchin the video makes my stomach flip flop like pre race jitters !!

what did you get on your paypal notice?

i got 191 on the email and item #18 on the paypal thingy... i wouldnt be surprized if they have reserved spots at the top of the grid for the superstars of the sport.

As part of the lead up to the Lacelin Ocean Classic Marathon, the Safety Bay Windsurfing club WWA Marathon (17th or 18th Dec) and the Mandurah Marathon (31st Dec or 1st Jan) will require you to have the same safety equipment as the LOC.
From the LOC website
http://www.lancelinoceanclassic.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3
Safety - During marathons all competitors must carry 2 flares and shall be required to wear an ASA 1499,2350 or ASA Type 1 or 2. Internationally stamped equivalents may be accepted at the discretion of the race director. If flares are out of date but are in very good condition they may be accepted at the discretion of the officer of the day. All competitors shall carry, securely attached to their buoyancy vests; two orange or red smoke flares. Competitors without proper safety equipment will not be allowed to compete.

and flares

The sticker has come off my PFD, so I carry a printout off the net with a picture saying its a registered PFD type 2. And It can store 2 flares in its pocket. I wonder how guys can tape flares to their bulky vests and still sail fast.



Come on you could do it!
