Still looking ok for Saturday, but Sunday has a change in wind conditions. I just looked at the motorway updates.

Waitarere Marathon

A mixed bag, which forecast will be correct? Windfinder is showing better Marathon weather. The forecast is improving each day, so fingers crossed.

Re: The Great 100 km Race

Hey I thought I already won the annual Muriwai 10.0.km race a few weeks back? I see we would have an earlier start on Saturday than usual?

Barry Cole 12:27
Re: The Great 100 km Race

Is it going to be three metre weather so I can try the new sail out? At this stage the race is well ahead of doing the lawns so I will be coming sailing.

Beach blast!

Hi all, A few keen ones had a go today at Papamoa. 68.8km max speed. Fantastic! Sailed from Harrisons Cut to Mt main beach and back. Some carnage but that's another story.

Good wind all day but flicking around from W to SW which meant there were passing opportunities for those who picked the changes.

Hi John, Looks like the manual timing idea has gone with the wind. Have you got the Excel list that Russell sent out so we can generate an RDY file and then just tick the boxes for who turns up?

Waitarere Marathon

Just typical is it not? Why is it, when you organise a race, the weather changes? Latest forecast is for Southerly wind, so unless that changes, Waitarere Marathon is postponed

RE: Waitarere Marathon

Why not. Ian did it in just over 2 hours (I will look up the exact time) 3 years ago. The beach over 15knots with long legs is a good combination for the guys with a bit more weight.

Re: Waitarere Marathon

NW 20knots forecast for Saturday, along with a few showers (let’s hope they got that bit wrong, but bring your wet gear) Rig up from 1000 1100 – 1130 Registration

Wind is moderating a bit, starting at 13 knt midday, rising to 15 then about 19 knts at 6 pm. Makes for an interesting sail choice!

Hey everybody, This is hot off the Press from Ben. Not sure about the creature comforts yet. But it is about 4 1/​2 hours out from Melbourne depending how reliable the HQ Holden is.

Plenty of "meeting and greeting" with about a dozen new faces turning up to have ago with the club karts and two families who have their own karts which is great.

Looks like we have wind, maybe up to 15 knts at times. Prediction of fine weather this afternoon, although would bring wet weather gear for odd shower and the puddles.

You did not say what happened. The weather data up your way shines a light – 2pm 20km, 3pm 15km, 4pm 6km, oops, I guess you did not see that coming…

Fwd: Beach blast bomb out.

five braved the elements at Harrison's cut. The ill fated run to the mount surf club left three of us walking about 3kms back to the put in spot. Great exercise for a soaking wet day.
