Hiya. I moved to WA 6 months ago for work and simultaneously saw the light and made the jump from sailing to windsurfing (impossible not to in Perth in November!). I spent a fair amount of time on the water over summer, but since then my two sailing buddies have returned home to Tassie So I'm looking for some new sailing companions! PM if you're keen, or say hi if you see me on the river.
Also, thought I might get a lesson or two to work on gybing and starts: any suggestions on who or where I can find a tutor who'll sail in winter?? Thanks!

Just go to Melville Beach Parade in Applecross in a NW or W (frontal weather) and you'll find people who will be glad to help.



(EDIT: just saw GGF's reply....)

Excellent! Have they put windows in at that place yet?

Just kidding see you round the traps Alfie

so Alfie is responsible for all the **** weather at the moment

Thanks for spilling the beans on that one GGF, exposed my dirty little secret ha.
As to the queries: Curac: Yes, I dictate the weather . Subsonic: We're relocating buildings in a few weeks, and I'm told yes, we will have windows haha

In news fresh off the Bureau press, we officially release a mobile friendly website tomorrow, but it's already live at m.bom.gov.au

Mark's original post is spot on. Melville on a NW or WNW. Great for learners because you are sailing parallel to the beach and not in deep water. Try the people at the eastern end of the car park. As a generalisation they tend to be less competitive and more chatty, with more time to help people.
