2010 Calendar		Sunday May 16, Point Reserve, North Rd Bassendean 2pm - 3pm: Practice 3pm - 4pm: Racing
DIY Courses & kits		Artmill Seacat Plantation Balsa Kits available from Bunnings, under $15 The school catamarans have been specially built. When they appear again, the design will be stronger, so they last longer!
Garnsworthy 420 Class 'rules'		Build a simple multi-hull boat. No radio controls or rubber bands Just 'set and sail'
Point Reserve course		The typical course is the 50 metres between the 2 jetties at Point Reserve, North Road, Bassndean. Racing is usually a mix of handicap and scratch events where all boats start together. When there are only a few boats, or you are testing your boat, then a light fishing line attached to the back of the catamaran makes it easy to retrieve the boat. TOP

If you do not have a number, come to the START Banner before racing starts.
