glad you were wearing your reg grundies in the pic.

see you from the spectators grass.

That's not grundies or even stubbies

Although if you look carefully you'll see the stubbie



Crasher is a Manbra mobster

I think on the day unless WWA wants to do it differently?

Just to clarify.

What if you're already a WWA member but you're not sure at this stage if you're going to enter or not?
Can you enter the race on the day?

yep

I think what they are referring to about signing up is the WWA membership not race registration

Hardie is correct.

If you could register your interest on the website that would help us with planning but it is not a contract. There is no entry fee as it is covered by your membership.

You need to be a member by the 31st in order to be a part of the event.

If you are not already a member you need to register on the website (choose a username and password) then join through the site via paypal.

Then go to the event page and register for the event.

If you are already a member and do not want to register for the event before hand. You can register on the day.

Clear as Mud? How did life become so complicated?!

Are there any hire shops down that way that will be attending.

Will be in perth but not bringing my gear over . I can probably hire something in perth and drive down but would be easier if there I can pick up something to ride down there :)

Will be using my dads car which only has soft roof racks he uses for a kyak so dont really want to travel with boards on top

Cheers
Craig

if you have no luck hiring stuff ive got a bit of stuff you might be able to borrow. pm me if you like. its mostly wave gear though and nothing fancy..
120l slalom, 70 & 85 ltr wave, 6.5 m cammed sail, the rest just wave sails.

7 nutters have expressed an interest lets hope thats about 20% of who's actually going to turn up, on Windguru Mandurah Sat 1st is looking the pick of the days (Edit 7pm update, now Sunday looking better), but still too early to call, depends on what this High Pressure system does

9 have registered interest and I have about 6 personal expressions of interest, so thats a 15 so far, hopefully a quarter of who will turn up on the day?????????

10 Website expressions of interest and 12 verbal confirmations, so thats 22, thats probably enuff for an interesting race, be nice if double that turned up on the day, Saturday the 1st of January looking the day at this stage

Great........ my latest geusstimations with what I've been told is about 30 starters almost for sure, and another 10 to 20 maybes? So we could have a gd turn out, ?????? The more indicate the better for organisers either here on this thread or the WWA website, ta

just turn up with all your kit and it should be apples

If the wind doesn't happen Hardz has been taking interpretive dance lessons and is happy to put on a demonstration

Latest Forecast: Saturday: SE winds 18/23 knots reaching 20/30 knots offshore in the morning.
Winds tending S/SW 20/30 knots in the afternoon, returning SE 15/20 knots
inshore late evening. Seas 1.5m to 2.5m. Swell to 4.0m.

Windguru Mandurah

2pm 13 to 16kts
5pm 14 to 19kts

Windguru probably more accurate for Mandurah than Bom, which has to forecast out to Rottnest waters

Synoptic Chart, shows a Trough Line right on the coast, which could influence whether we get a strong seabreeze of a moderate southerly?

Latest reports if winds are good, people are talking maybe 50 starters? But who knows?

the clever chickens have it in the lee of halls head at the offshore sailing & fishing club semi obstructed from a southerly of any kind.
