Sunday Funday Racing is on this Sunday at Botany Bay!



Hi Foil Racers - the Sunday Funday if for anyone... Fin Foil Wing, from experts to novices - no prior racing experience necessary.

With thanks to a couple of responses to the volunteer thread, we have a green light for Sunday. The wind is forecast 12-16 knot NE with an incoming tide which should be perfect for flat water slalom racing between 2-5pm. Race briefing at 1pm at GRSC race office. Post race beers upstairs!

For experienced racers, we are looking forward to some good action in perfect NE conditions.

For the inexperienced we will help you get the most out of the day, so bring your gear, a helmet and life jacket/impact vest (both mandatory for racing!). If you can you do 3 gybes in a row and count down from 60 then you can race! We will have numbered bibs so sail numbers are not necessary.

The plan is to run some Slalom races this Sunday.

We have a few Volunteers this Sunday - THANK YOU!
But I need more help to make this work so please volunteer to help run the racers or bring a friend for next time!
Is anyone able to help out once a month on Sundays? Some days I need help on a boat raising flags or scoring sail numbers. Other days the finish line is at the club so you can sit in the pub with a lemonade and watch the finish line from the balcony.

Thanks

Berowne

Gentle Upwind course proposed for new racers




Traditional course for serious racers.7

Hi everyone. We are looking forward to some fun racing at GRSC on Saturday with a solid SE wind.
This weekend has been set as a course racing (upwind) course by the club. The start will be off the beach right outside the club - great for family and friends if you bring them.

Working with a few racers we have determined that not everyone can hold 45? upwind and foil tack. So we have an easier option to encourage new racers to join in and get the taste of racing. By using the "wing mark" shown above the upwind angle is about 60? making it much more achievable for everyone.

Bohh options will be available so race what suits your abilities!
