If you are arriving on the day, please give yourself plenty of time, as the parking conditions have changed on the point, and you will need to drop the boat and drive the trailer away (CYC members will be on site to assist. The club will be open early on the 24th (after sunrise!).  

 

Please contact myself or Lex Stanbridge if you are thinking of staying the night (camping on site is available by prior arrangement); or you can drop your boat off in the afternoon of Saturday 23rd before sunset by prior arrangement.

SUPER SERIES EVENT - QLD STATE TITLES

apologies to everyone.  With everything going on at the states over easter I totally forgot it was a nominated event of the super series and didn't do a sail draw.  Will make some arrangements this week to do a post event draw at Brisbane Cats later in the week.  Will post details of winners soon as I have them.

The final event of the SEQ Super Series 2015-16 is the Wivenhoe Winter Marathon.

 

This year the club is sailing from the other side of the lake at Logans Camp Ground.  Logan has  full camping facilities (toilets and showers) and the  Local Scout group will once again providing meals for us Saturday and Sunday.

 

Looking like it is going to be a true winter marathon with Westerly Winds predicted and much lower temperatures than previous years - so pack accordingly!!

 

if you do not want to camp these are some other nearby accommodation options.

LATEST ADVICE FROM THE CLUB

 

The 2016 Wivenhoe Winter Marathon is looking like it is going to be another memorable weekend of sailing and camping.

 

Remember, you will be able to register on the day that you are entering the event either both days or the one day only entry.

 

The camping sites are booked so all you have to do is choose a spot in the designated area.

 

Space will be tight with so many trailers. There will be club members to guide and marshall people and their boats so that we can keep everyone safe.

 

Remember that we are at Logan's camping complex this year, with full amenities ( toilets/showers).

 

For those that will be camping over the weekend of the 11th & 12th of June. The Brisbane Valley Sailing Club has booked camp sites 22 to 50 for the Winter Marathon. This allows plenty of room for all who plan to attend. 

 

Just rock on up and register at the gate (Registration will start from 8 am Saturday morning) and then proceed down to the allocated camping area. 

 

Remember coming from Brisbane, travel over the dam wall ,travel approx' 5kms turn right into Hey rd and follow the signs to Captain Logan's camp complex. Registration will start from 8 am Saturday morning.
See you all there.
