Fleets

The Fleets will be as listed below. 

ALL WINDSURFERS WELCOME. Entrants will need to be full WWA members or purchase Single Event Membership in order to compete. Note this is essential to provide the adequate insurance for the event and also provides you with personal injury cover and 3rd party liability cover during the event.

Open:  Open to anyone.

Women: Women only (Women are welcome to enter any other divisions they are eligable for).

Youth: 18 and under & 19 -21 Division 

Masters: Age 45 and older (Masters are welcome to enter any other divisions they are eligable for).

Competition Format

We will aim to run a 'dingo' format (the WA version of the dingle) where the loosers from the first round compete in round 2 and the winners of round 1 advance straight to round 3. This gives everyone at least 2 heats.

In the event of limited wind and/or waves we may run expression session formats.

Safety

The usual safety measures will be in place for this event as per previous years including two professional jet skis and sleds but the Department of Transport has not granted us exemption from wearing life jackets over 400m from the shore this year. If you sail beyond 400m of the shore the law requires you to wear a Type 2/Level 50 life jacket.
