 Monster fleet crowns Windsurfer Class resurgence on Lake Macquarie The 42nd Windsurfer Class Australian Championships scored 4 great days of racing with the first hit-out on the new LT boards a major success. 107 registrations, 10 course races, a fun filled freestyle, 32 heats of slalom and an all in mega marathon filled Lake Macquarie with colour and good vibes. Toronto Amateur Sailing Club did a great job hosting. Breezes were typically 8-12 knots and shifty - giving everyone a shot at the podium. Big crowds of spectators viewed the action up close. A big thank you to all racers for attending and bringing the Windsurfer spirit and energy to the event. Huge shout out to all the volunteers and to the Windsurfer Class admin gurus - Karen Murden, Erin Dunn and Ev Leonard, along with WCAA Secretary Nick Bez for putting in big time and effort to crunch out the results daily.
