QLD Corsair State Championship 09

It has been necessary to change the venue for this years Corsair State
Championship. After numerous discussions with the Keppel Bay Sailing
Club
we both came to the conclusion that it would not be financially
viable for either organisation to go ahead with the regatta at
Yepoon. My thanks go to Sue Germain (secretary of Lake Cootharaba)
who helped secure our new venue at short notice. I have attached a
preliminary Notice of Race as LCSC have not officially released
details of the regatta, however we are not expecting any changes from
last year. This being the case I am expecting to see the Corsair
Association well represented at JOCK JUMPING competion on Sunday
night. Please don't leave your training to the last
minute, technique is very important.

The NSW Corsair Association held their state championship in February
at the Budgewoi Sailing Club with 8 boats making up the fleet. As
their state championship has already been sailed I will be extending
an invite to any NSW boats which may like to journey north (Lake
Cootharab is just like Budgewoi). I have already heard from the boys
from Airlie Beach and they will be making the trip south at Easter,
so it should be an exciting event.

State River Titles

Due to bad weather the Corsair State River Titles on the Maroochy
River was cancelled this month. This regatta has been enjoyed
especially by our younger members for many years. As a result I have
asked Maroochy Sailing Club to confirm a new date for this event and
they are now going back to their executive committee to decide on a
date. So watch this space.
