Just wondering is it looking like happening? Probably a few days out to tell yet?

Normally Buzzy makes the call Thurs night. At this stage not looking too windy.

Hey Guys! I'll put up a final notice tomorrow after 2pm. However, at this stage its looking like a possible no go with winds under 15 knots forecast all weekend and only a very slight chance of a seabreeze late Sunday.

Might have to lower the wind limit to 12 knots now everyone has bigger gear

True Steve, a flea weight like me might actually have a chance then

Keen for that or even lighter!

The event is cancelled due to the light wind forecast!

If we do get wind we can run a local south fun race, but it will not be part of the state round of events.

yep no wind good call. keen for a local race good idea. what wind strength do they sail on the national green island series in?

Above 15 knots Alan! Good call buzz

Yes good call and exactly what I was going to suggest about having a light wind comp. Maybe aim for Sunday arvo wind permitting.

Yep, good call. Hopefully we still get a sail somewhere, but forecast doesn't look at all suitable for a State Title slalom comp.

A light wind gunfight

great call there buzz, in fact exceptional.
s .h.i.t for racing

Sounds good

Im heading around to dorans, unless a sea breeze comes in then cremorne lagoon

Anyway heading out about 12:30

Any wind happening at Dorans

Didn't happen.
Steve went out for about 2hours. I only saw him plane twice, and that was about 20meters each time.

Saw your van over there FOS for about 5 hrs. What on earth did you do with yourself over there with no wind for 5 hrs? Maybe watching the grass grow

You should have been at Rose Bay. Was fully lit with the 7.8! Wind was pretty steady 12-18 knots the whole time!

Looking at the weekends forecast for the Hawley slalom, can I suggest another southern slalom, looks like good southerlies down here Saturday and mirror calm at PS.

Dahhhh!! Sorry got my weekends mixed up.

Why don't you incorporate this round with the Dash for Cash?
Have the Dash, then the slalom races - would make for good viewing from shore, plus there would be plenty of people to actually view it.
Assuming there's wind of course.
Just a thought?

what a fantastic idea easty
the dash is awesome
the northern guys would love it
great viewing for lots to see what slalom is about and create interest

Sounds good as long as there is wind

There has only been wind once in about 8 years, hard enough getting one race in powered conditions.
Other regatta users are on the water throughout the whole day, the slalom event goes over a fair amount of the day.
It woukld be all right if no one else wanted to use the water that day,
not much chance on Regatta day,

Easty, this is not a bad idea and may be possible in the future. But I very much doubt it could happen this year, unless of course there was a motivated person out there that really wanted to push this with the Sandy Bay Sailing Club. As the race organiser for round 2 I am not interested in doing this at all.
Damien is spot on, we cant just throw it on the end of the dash, we would have to be timetabled into the Regatta program. Traditionally the Dash is not a WT event as such, it is run under the Sandy Bay Regatta and open to any entrant(don't have to be in WT).
To try and add a WT event into the Regatta would involve a lot of ground work and discussion about liability etc.
