Dec 29 - Echuca to Torrumbarry 63km
Dec 30 - Murrabit to Swan Hill 75km
Dec 31 - Murrabit to Swan Hill 75km
Each day is divided into four stages, separated by checkpoints. Officials record each paddler’s progress at every checkpoint for safety and time-keeping purposes. Checkpoints allow competitors and teams to change paddlers, pick up refreshments and rest aching muscles during the event. Results and standings are posted at each campsite. If you are unable to complete the course on any day you must notify the official checkpoint leader of your withdrawal. You may then start as normal on the next or any subsequent day.

Dec.26th 1pm Sharp.

All paddlers are required to assemble at our Yarrawonga Campsite at 1pm.

We will need to have the canoes scrutineered, get our relay tickets, put the canoes together and chain them on the grass bank next to the boat ramp.


4 pm Team meetings.

Overall team briefing, then separate briefing for each team, work out your car scuttles for tomorrow now, fill out your relay tickets, make sure the first three crews have lifejackets(junior team only). A set of paddles will stay in the canoe for the duration of the day, lifejackets must be WORN by all junior crew paddlers regardless of age. Six lifejackets must be placed in the senior crew canoe each morning. The senior crew have the option of wearing their own lifejacket. All the red jackets will be in use by the junior crew so the seniors need to source their own.
All paddlers must attend the briefing at Yarrawonga oval in the evening, their may be more course changes we have to work out.





Legends crew, please take the trailer back with you to Tocumwal after the briefing and park it next to the big Fish the next morning before you head off to do your leg.



NOTES

After the briefing return to camp and relax, get ready for the great adventure.

Nominate a property officer/s for each team to keep track of our very expensive equipment.

Due to course changes the canoes have to be trailered to the next start on Day1, Day3, Day4, Day5.
At Tocumwal at the end of day one the trailer will be parked next to the big fish by the Legends ready for us to load the canoe. We must load up quickly and drive to Picnic Point and set them up again on the grass ready to go in the morning.
When we paddle into Echuca we will chain the canoes at their normal spot at Vic Park Boat Ramp ready for Day3.
At Torrumbarry Rod Pell will have parked the trailer at the finish line close to the boat ramp prior to our arrival. We then have to drive to Murrabit and set the canoes up again.
At Swan Hill we should have the trailer parked 200m downstream of the finish upstream of the bridge so we can load up from the grassy bank. Pack up and go back to Murrabit for the repeat of Day4.

Lifejackets.
You may bring your own(Seniors).
Kaylah Kanoah to use the red club lifejackets.
There will not be enough for five legs so make sure you pass them on to those that need them later.

Outlaw Ocean Series Race 4: The Graeme Long Memorial Paddle

Outlaw Ocean Series Race 4: The Graeme Long Memorial Paddle

Key Information

Event Date

09-Jan-2011 12:00

Distance

25km

Start Location

Urquhart Bluff (2-3km west of Anglesea). No Melways reference.

Finish Location

Torquay SLSC

Event Description

This is the marquee downwind event of the Outlaw Ocean Series of 2010/11 and it is also the only Victorian leg of the Australian Ocean Racing Series, so we will see competitors from all over Australia (and possibly overseas) competing. It is a 25km course that, if the wind blows anywhere near as strong as in the 2010 Outlaw race, will be an absolute cracker!

The distance is further than the other ocean races of the Outlaw Ocean Series, but follows some of the most spectacular coastline in the world along Victoria's famous Great Ocean Road. The race takes in sites such as Anglesea Beach, the magnificent Point Addis, the world famous surfing venues of Bells Beach and Winkipop, Bird Rock, Jan Juc Beach, Torquay Beach and Point Danger.

The course direction will depend on the conditions on the day, with a west-southwesterly wind being the preferred conditions for the Urquharts Bluff to Torquay course. If it blows easterly we will be heading from Torquay to Urquharts Bluff. We will have a better idea in the weeks leading up to the event and will keep everyone informed of forecast conditions on outlawpaddling.com

There will be a halfway beach turn at Point Addis front beach (on the east side of the point), which will allow competitors to crack a few point waves as they make their way down to the beach. This provided one of the highlights of the 2009 event.

Several points such as Point Roadknight, Anglesea Point, Point Addis, Bells Beach, Torquay Point and Point Danger offer several excellent viewing points for spectators along the way. Point Addis in particular offers views as far west as Point Roadknight (8km) and east to Torquay Point (8km), so bring your binoculars! Overall the sheer cliff faces that are characteristic of much of the Great Ocean Road coastline make this race as exhillarating for spectators as it is for competitors.

A message from Geelong Outriggers!

Geelong 2011 Regatta

Audi Victoria Week

Aloha everyone!

The Geelong Outrigger Canoe Club will proudly host its 16th Annual Regatta on Saturday, January 22 and Sunday, January 23, 2011 as part of Audi Victoria Week.

Outrigger canoeing is traditionally a Polynesian style of boating, featuring very long narrow canoes with an ama (outrigger) off the side of the boat which gives the canoe stability in all types of weather conditions.

We anticipate interstate competitors from South Australia and Tasmania will make the trek to compete alongside Victorian teams (comprising both men and women).

Our regatta boasts two full days of racing, incorporating the grueling 13km marathon which will test the strength and endurance of each crew member to get their canoe around the course in Corio Bay.

There'll be short course sprints for OC6 (6-person crew), OC2 (2-person crew) and OC1 (1-person crew). The sprints will showcase the off-the-line explosiveness required to get theses canoes up and racing, as well as the sheer strength and determination of each crew's need for speed.

There'll be racing in front of the dive tower off the Eastern Beach promenade, highlighting the skill and precision of steerer and crew maneuvering their canoe around turning buoys.

Also, for the first time in our regatta, there’ll be the opportunity to witness one of our exciting “challenge” events that demonstrates the unique water change. This event will showcase paddlers rolling out of their canoe into the water whilst team mates wait in the water for their approaching canoe. They need to time their climb into the moving canoe in order to continue racing. Multiple change-overs will form part of this demonstration.

Most of our weekend of racing will be off Eastern Beach, out past the promenade and up to Limeburners Point.

So why not take advantage of this excellent opportunity to witness, first hand, a truly unique water sport.

We love our sport. You will too!

New Outlaw Series has begun!

Eleri and Alex at Sandridge Beach, Port Phillip Bay at the first of the Outlaw Crits races. They both also attended the Outlaw race at Eastern Beach, Corio Bay, Geelong on Sunday 31st October, 2010 representing Inland. The next race is open ocean on the surf coast at Lorne on Sunday November 21st, 2010. We also have a contingent heading to the Cold Water Classic at Boat Harbour, Tasmania on 12th November.

The Beach at Barmah before the mini!!!!!!!

The Race YMCA wouldn't run, blah.blah.

So the "Training" run over the Echuca mini course ran without incident despite 70mm of rain falling within the previous week. And all this after YMCA cancelled the race due to poor road conditions, pity they choose not to consult local authorities and make decisions on data weeks out of date from an office 200km away.

It was a shame as 50 paddlers turned up and paddled the course on their own anyway!

Training, we are now back in the canoe shed!

All our sixes training will now leave from the canoe shed, the water is dropping and the gear is back in the shed!

Dare to Dream!

New training location due to high river levels.

As from today the canoes have been moved to higher ground. Training will take place from the Onion patch. Access is by parking next to the railway line in the car park at the rear of the council offices. We will try and bring paddles and lifejackets along to training so there is no disruption. Those paddling kayaks will have to make their own arrangements. We will take no responsibility for anyone that launches from the canoe club until further notice. The Mirage will be back in the water Sunday so we will have all three canoes available for training.

Junior training you will need to walk to the new location, there is nowhere to change so you have to have your paddling clothes on under your school uniform when you leave school. It is an exciting time paddling a river that is pumping along but all care must be taken to keep safe. Please tell your parents where to pick you up after training.

Please pass the information along to those you know that are not on the email list.
