State Masters South Lake Macquarie 7th 8th February

The State Masters Championship is coming up on 7th and 8th February at South Lake Macquarie Sailing Club. The location is here.

This is always a great event and South Lakes at Sunshine a terrific sailing venue. In addition to nearby accommodation sailors can camp on the spacious grounds around the club on Sunshine Park for a small Council imposed fee (circa $30).

Cubes will be awarded for this event.

The Notice of race for the event is here and the Sailing Instructions are here. You can enter online here or on Saturday 7th February until 11.00am at the venue. Entry is $60.

Rob Lowndes has organised the traditional Masters Golf Tournament which this year will be held on Friday 6th February at Morisset Country Club with first tee time at 1.00pm. The Club is on Dora Street (the main drag into Morisset) here.

Some skill at golf is desirable but certainly not essential so come and enjoy lunch and team selection around noon on the day. Cost is $32 each plus $40 if you want a cart (shared between two).

It would be a great help if you let Rob Lowndes know if you are playing at least a week beforehand (SMS 0419 266 257, or email lowndesr@bigpond.net.au). And yes, it is still compulsory for Georges River SC members to turn and show us how it’s done.

World number one ranked Laser sailor Tom Burton and world-class Laser sailor, Ash Brunning will be coaching the H2O Team at the  Master’s on both race days at SLMASC. Two day coaching and debrief cost will be $200.
