Lake George - 9-10/1/2011

A few lucky Speed Demons had a nice session down @ Lake George posting the fastest speeds ever recorded on the lake.  Ricky & Hamma captured some footage of each other as well as Jimbob and Choco sailing well off of the spit in 30cm of water.

Here is the video that Hamma edited...

Lake George Results 2010

Day 1
We were presented with light winds on Sunday, the first day of the event and the format was the average 2s peak of the 2 days.  Only times recorded after the breifing were to count and since there was only one person who got planing(me!) it was decided to make only Sundays peak 2s count.

Day 2
Sunday had a reasonable forecast and we ended getting a full day of wind 13-18 with the occasional 20+ gust.
A few sailors were left short on gear selection while waiting (still) for their 2011 gear to arrive which made the competition all the more interesting!

Final Results (only sailors that posted times)

1. Sam Doecke 33.6
2. Carl Macdonald 31.68
3. Chris Dimond 31.49
4. Anthony Hamood 31.34
5. Tim Hemer 30.48
6. Joe Belluzzo 29.89
7. Jamie McCourt 29.27
8. Andreas Nehls 29.13
9. Geoff Shuttleworth 27.46

Lake Bonney - North Lake

Choco posted some footage from a recent session @ Barmera on the GPS forum.

Racing - Sunday 22nd August

Racing is scheduled for North Haven this Sunday with a 9:30 Briefing.

Winds should be N-NW at about 10-20 knots.

Should be a great day with a good turnout.  Come and give it a go, you don't have to be an expert!

Last Session @ the Clayton Channel

I edited this clip about a year ago but didn't get around to posting it. The wind was light and gusty from the north, great for long reaches but you had to gybe before the big lulls. The water was nice and flat and will be greatly missed by the SA Speed Demons.

Joe, Sam, Chris & Carl make an appearance, I took the head cam footage.
