Another interesting day at the new Warrenup venue.

We had a successful day of racing at the Warrenup Lake today.

Even with a shortened SE course we had quite a few of the 7 boats out today come to a sudden stop around the windward separation.

First of the light breezes today which started from the NW and swung between SE to SW during the morning.

Todays breeze was very shifty and quite light at times with changes of direction from N to ESE during the morning, so several course changes were required.

Wednesdays DF65 H/C race was sailed in a fresh ESE breeze which saw rigs from A+ down to B employed.

A perfect ESE wind for the DF95 A rig today.

A nice A+ breeze from the ESE for the 9 sailors today.

6 sailors today in a breeze right on the edge of A rig.

5 sailors with a SE wind ending up at the top of A rig and not much weed.

Due to the buildup of the pond weed, instead of sailing we had another attempt at removing the weed in the SE corner of the pond. It was eventually decided that after several days and methods spent on the removal, that the spread of the weed was over too great an area for this to be done by hand. Given the large area of weed it was decided to cancel the Great Southern Series of regattas scheduled for the 7th & 8th February (IOM) and the 14th & 15th March (DF95) to be run later in the year, spring if possible. Thanks to all those who put in time to try and solve this problem.

Strong East wind for the 5 boats today. 3 C rigs and 2 B rigs today with Brian R electing not to sail with his B rig and did the scoring for the day, thanks Brian. We picked up a bit of weed but managed to get 7 races in
