I can still see only one Master, Richard Carrington-Smith so he has already won if more Masters don't enter.
We now have all states represented however no one from the 2 territories have entered as yet.
If you know anyone who sails Windsurfer LT in ACT and NT let them know about this upcoming event, we would love to see them out on the Swan River.
If you are coming from interstate don't forget to secure a board and rig (see below).

What wind conditions should we expect for the Masters Games in April. I have a feeling that it's a light wind month. Maybe a Storm?

Yes true but we can remain optimistic with over 31 entrants registered so far and at least half from the Eastern States. We have ordered a great forecast and trust it is delivered with some big names coming too to test your mettle against including 1982 Italian Garibaldi Cup Windsurfing Champion, Andrew Dolly Divola, top 1980s pro sailor Scotty O'Connor and champion Stuart Gilbert already entered.
