Preparations for the 2013 Radio Control Laser Australian Championships are well under way.

The 2013 Radio Control Laser Australian Championships is on the weekend of the 5th and 6th of October at the Patawalonga Lake in North Glenelg, South Australia. There will be a practice session during the afternoon of Friday the 4th.

The RC Laser Championships will be hosted this year by the Adelaide Radio Control Yacht Racing Club, the hosts of the 2010 National Championships. The club is just a short distance from the Adelaide Airport with the end of the main runway close by. This creates some ‘interesting’ effects on the wind when planes come into land over the lake.

For more information check out the Club’s website at  http://www.thepat.saradioyachting.org.au/ 

The link ‘Patawalonga Lake’ on the menu bar has information on the club’s location, satellite pictures and typical course layouts.  For those with an interest in statistics, there is a link to typical weather data. Information regarding local accommodation can be found by taking the ‘Where to Stay’ link. Here, there is an extensive list of accommodation for different budgets with locations and distances from the venue.

Competitors should also read the club’s ‘Code of Conduct’, which can be found on the menu bar. The club does not have a pontoon to launch from so you will need to get your feet wet.

It is anticipated that the Notice of Race will be posted in early July

Congratulations Scott Fleming, Terry Rowe and Jurgen Luther – 1,2,3 in the Victorian States

The 2013 Victorian State Title was contested on Sunday 28 April at Patterson Lakes with 9 boats on the water.  Scott Fleming successfully defended his title with relative newcomer Terry Rowe picking up silver and Jurgen Luther stocking his Adelaide medal cabinet with bronze. By all accounts it was a great day of competitive sailing in good company.  Watch this space for a link to the full results once they are published

The 2013 Queensland RC Laser title is planned to be held at Lake Kawana on the Sunshine Coast over the weekend of 22nd/23rd June.  This event never disappoints and promises to have a strong fleet from the broader Southeast Queensland area and we hope a good number of sailors from further afield.
