Results 2010 RS:X Nationals

March 1, 2010

Emerging Nations Programme athlete, Howard Chang, of Chinese Taipei, topped the RS:X fleet this weekend, as a competitor in the 2010 Australian RS:X Championships.

RS:X sailor Chang is in Perth training with the ENP.

Chang placed first,  although the coveted award of Australian Champion went to West Australian sailor Tim Gourlay.  Gourlay placed second overall at the Championships, to take out the sought after Men’s 2010 National RS:X Championship title in the medal race, off Fremantle.

Gourlay was racing on home waters, as a member of Fremantle Sailing Club, where this year’s National Championships were held.

Marathon Postponed

March 1, 2010

Weekend 27-28th Feb

Looks like it will be blasting in from the SE all weekend, with a bit a swell in the gulf too. Great for wave-sailing at Sellicks, but no good for the marathon.

This weekend was the last roll of the dice for this event – it’s a long weekend next weekend with everyone away, and the boys with the rescue boats have been very kind but need to get on with their lives. So we will have to put the idea on hold till next Spring when a SW is a dead cert. Thanks to all those who put in to get the idea moving forward. Looks like we may have pushed our luck too far scheduling it for early Feb.

The boys and girls at Windsurfing SA will get together soon and make plans for events for next season. Thanks to everyone who ran or attended an event this season. We have had some hits and some misses. Always looking to improve the stoke factor. Maybe a format where events are held on, say, the first Sunday of the month regardless, with the venue and format to be decided by conditions? Any feedback welcome.

Regards,
Richard for Windsurfing SA
