The WSSR Council announces an amendment to WSSR Rule 3. 3rd paragraph is amended as follows:

"For every record attempt on natural courses in every class, there must be a minimum depth of water, which is defined as follows.

At the time of the run in question, the shallowest part of the course must be covered by water with a depth of at least half the static immersed beam of the craft involved, or 10cm, whichever is the greater.

ISAF has announced the Techno 293 windsurfer and the Byte CII dinghy have been chosen as equipment for the four sailing events at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore.

Warm sunny blue skys and a light northely made for an excellent start to the kids windsurf season.

Two new freshy's and the rest of the gang suited up in their flashy new Ion wetsuits and were in the water before we could get high five's all round. A great support effort from MAC, Baysorts and UCT meant we had more equipment than trainers. But once they were rigged and the light breeze kicked in, the kids were on the water and putting the kit to good use.

Mitch was on hand for a recap on uphauling, Waggy style (shot dude!).

And although completely overshadowed by the larger sails, the kids all still got around with ease.

...well, almost all of them.

Before we knew it the day was over and lunch had arrived.

The kit was derigged in seconds and everyone grabbed a pizza.

Big shout out to Butlers for all the food. MAC, Bay Sports and UCT for all the gear. Ocean Spirit for the wetsuits. True South Actuaries for taking care of transportation. Gust mag. And finally; Wolfgang, Waggy, Mitch, Michelle, Peter, Tyrone and Janet for a great personal effort.

We look forward to the next clinic in two weeks. Till then,

Sterkfontein – race weekend 24 to 26 September 2004.

Who said race weekend ? I should know better – “race” and “good winds”

Richard's Bay 2005 log by Malcolm

Yup – there we have it – one particularly busy day at the office, while surfing the web and checking out sailing sites, I come across a notice on Windsurfingsa.co.za for a “soul sailing” trip over Easter....

Malcolm's Log - Mozambique – June 2004-06-17

 And so it was, upon receiving an e-mail from a certain Mr. Field espousing the virtues of going on a “soul” trip to unknown places, that my arse got that windy, tingling ...............

What does an inland sailor do when there is no wind ? He eats beans or goes on a road trip........
