>The first round of the NSW interclub series went off last week, thanks
>to Glen Morrell and the friendly crowd at Illawarra Yacht Club. A
>terrible forecast seemed to scare many sailors away, so the Open fleet
>was small. The highlight was the junior fleet - despite holidays and
>the forecast, the seven Juniors showed just how much they are improving.
>
>Glen organised some great racing and coaching, including an inspiring
>talk from Alisha Kawalla, fresh from an excellent performance in
>winning the teams prize at the Youth Worlds. Ben Morrell was the
>standout in the Juniors, winning every event with ease. Second was
>Miriam Campbell, who has really put her skates on after recently
>moving up from a light "modern" 3m sail to the Barracouta 3.5. Josh
>Nealy was third, Lauren Nealy fourth. Trent Billington, Jack Garner
>and Kurt Billington only sailed on the Saturday and finished in that
>order.
>
>Everyone showed big improvements, even as the weekend went on. Lauren,
>for instance, slipped past the unbeatable Ben on the first leg of the
>last race.
>
>Three of the Juniors also sailed in the Silver Fleet when the adults
>raced. Josh showed his determination to take two wins and top the
>Silver Fleet, from Trent and Lauren.
>
>The adult's fleet was smaller, but in the gusty aftermath of the 30-35
>knot blow on the Saturday, the Wallies showed just how quickly they
>can get around the course. Racing against Raceboards and a Formula
>Board, the One Designs scored a couple of seconds, a fifth and a sixth
>overall and shocked many sailors.
>
>Chris Thompson scored 1,1,1,2, while Deb Apthorp scored a good second
>before blitzing Race 4 to win by almost a leg. Steve Barton came in
>third, happy with his performance in the hairy Race 2, followed
>closely by Kerry Bergman, up on holidays.

>UPCOMING EVENTS
>
>The next Interclub is the DAC event on 3rd and 4th November. We're
>hoping to get 10 or more Juniors and a big adult fleet. Saturday night
>will see the beer running cold and the pizza running hot in the
>clubhouse. Camping is available in the clubhouse for those who don't
>want to drive.
>
>Racing for Juniors will start at 10pm, both days. Adults will probably
>start at 2.20 Saturday and about noon Sunday - more info to follow.
>
>
>NEW LONGBOARD WEBSITE
>
>A few of us at DAC have started a new longboard windsurfing website,
>at http://www.lbws.com.au/ . In the first fortnight we got about 700
>individuals landing on the site - proof that there is lots of life in
>longboard land. By the way, our "sister class" the Exocet Kona had 11
>nations at its recent Gold Cup championship, and now has over 550
>sailors on its ranking list.
>
>
>RACING AND DINNER THIS SUNDAY
>
>Narrabeen is racing this Sunday. Even more important, Karen is
>inviting everyone around to her place at Cromer (two suburbs away) for
>drinks and dinner. There could be a good fleet for a great fun day.
