A friend has mentioned that there is going to be a clinic run by Allison Shreeve in Safety Bay on the 5th and 6th of January.

Does anybody know anything about it?

She is apparently over there, and going to enter the LOC, and running a clinic the week before the LOC.

Being very fast myself (once having reached 23 knots!), I wonder what I can learn from this. Do you think it would help me break that elusive 24 knot barrier that I seem to have? Maybe I should just stick to getting more advice on my gybes?

Allison is a great person, I decided to learn windsurfing when I heard she was trying to sail from Tasmania to the mainland ! she could not finish, but at least the outcome was good for me, I 'm having the best time of my life since
