NSW Formula Series 

Accomodation at Salamander Bay/Soilders Point for October Long wk end, 2015(Heat #1 Formula Series)
For all your accommodation head to the website and do your searching from here. http://www.portstephens.org.au

Recon to Salamander Bay & Soilders Point
Myself Adam Craven and David Howe had a great road trip up the coast yesterday to meet with Grahame Obourne from the Port Stephens Sailing & Aquatic Club. http://pssac.myclubwebsite.com.au We had a very constructive meeting discussing the running of Heat #1 of the NSW Formula Series off George Reserve just up the bay and east of the Sailing Club(see pics and map below). Grahame is the local sailing instructor and experienced RO. He is happy to set a course any where on the Bay for us and so in essence, we'll be just across from where we've sailed in the past off Jimmy's Beach at Hawks Nest.
From Georges Reserve you can launch in almost any wind direction and as you can see from the pics, it's great grassy launch spot, by the water with plenty of parking, great facilities, fantastic accommodation options, licensed entertainment and dinning options, all within a stones throw. 
After a quick sail and on the back of a handshake, Storm-riders will now proceed with plans to move Heat #1 of the Series from Hawks Nest across the bay to Solders Point.

NSW Windsurfing Series Wrap Completed at GRSC
Congratulations to our honorary Treasurer Brett Morris for being crowned the NSW Windsurfing Series and State Champion for 2014. As luck would have it, he also managed to win the lucky door prize at this past wk end's NSW Series(heat 6) hosted at GRSC. So he also walked away with the much converted wk end stay at the beautiful Sandpiper on Smiths Lake. Check out all our winners on the Seabreeze forum post. Many thanks to the irrepressible Andrew McLachlan for his flawless race officering over the wk end. Is there nothing that this one man in a tinnie can not do?:-)
