AGM To Be advised
Note As per discussion at the AGM big wheel class 5's Will be classed as Euro Class Yachts. Small wheels will be classed as Class5 the scores will be separated for the two divisions.
The points apply on all scratch days. Handicap days will be scored separately.
On scratch days the first 4 races will be card start. the remaining races will be handy caped under the control of the starter.
5.6 Mini will be a separate division but can race with class5 On Handicap days your board number start drop will be changed after every 2 races. So come up to the container before racing and get updated. The start of the season Pilots meeting is at 12.30 pm.
After 1st March 12 pm
The 2021-22 may be subject to change because of Covid or late access to the lake. So everyone keep there fingers crossed

Select to expand quoteHi all. A number of sailors are heading to Lake Lefroy on the Queen's birthday long weekend 24 - 27 September. Lake Lefroy club will be holding the Lightning Nickel Marathon and Andy Bates marathon on that weekend as those trophies were designated for Lake Lefroy. Please attend if possible.
The Southern Cross regatta is on in a month or so depending on lake conditions. I will check out the conditions there in early October.
Cheers

Lightning Nickel and Andrew Bates marathon events to be held at Lake Lefroy 24 - 27 September. Southern Cross too wet for now but is being monitored for an event to be scheduled as soon as conditions allow.
Conditions at Southern Cross looking good. A forward scout has gone to check it out and probably have a sail today. Appointment with the golf club rep on Monday 11th to see if we can go on November 6/7.
I am Going to check Southern Cross Lake on 23/11/21. If suitable we will have another go at holding a regatta early in December, 4th 5th, if that is ok with everyone that gives enough time to arrange accommodation, ect.
We should be able to go to SX before the end of November, Walyungup is expected to be open by then
If someone can verify that the lake is dry there is no reason that we could not go earlier. The earliest I can get to check is the 24th. I think the amount of water that was in the system may take some time to dry. But could be wrong I don't know long it takes to flow through.
Fantastic sailing weekend at Southern Cross (Lake Koorkoordine) 20 and 21 November. Certainly be doing that again :-)
Last event for the year was a blast. Mini and Class 5 scratch races were the order of the day with Alex proving difficult to catch in his mini. Looking forward to doing it all again in 2022
Southern Cross event is on again March 5-7. Keep fingers crossed we don't get rained out again this year 
Easter event this year will be a one day activity on Easter Sunday at Lake Walyungup
21/22 season now completed following closure on 24 May of Lake Walyungup for the winter. AGM to be held on 26 June then we will start to crank up for the new season commencing early December
