There will be a group of sailors taking off from Hangover Bay and finishing at the Lobster Shack on the Australia Day weekend if anyone wants to join in. The best day for the Race will be updated closer to launch. Probably by Thursday afternoon.
Sailing is for fun and we will stick together and form a buddy system of similar levels.
This is not part of any group, company, club or associated with any kind of affiliation. Join in at your own risk!!We will have a few Personal Locating Beacons and mobile phones amongst us and will notify the local sea rescue of our approximate start and finish times.
Hope to see a few keen faces there. This is a bit of a trial run for possible future options 
The approximate course to sail will be as below
Unfortunately i have been sick for the past week and wont be able to do the downwinder.
It is going to run on Friday and if you want to get in contact with the crew please talk to Whitey76 (commented above) about more info and times. There is a small crew already keen as mustard so get amongst it!
I would suggest to get there early by 10am latest, incase the place goes ballistic and it will be too windy.
Have fun and don't do anything i wouldn't do 
PS I would strongly advise to not take off the beach on a SE wind

its ok, it normally turns 20 knot SW 10 minutes after you start.
I started under powered on my 4.7, and by Kangaroo Point I was flying. Great downwinder, I think this would be a great event on the calendar next year Isaac.....
