The F1 Grand Prix infrastructure is being dismantled and so we again have access to Albert Sailing Club and the Lake. There is club sailing planned for Saturday with Club race at 2.30pm and junior green fleet sessions am and pm. The Lake water level is down and is a further 5cm lower than two weeks ago ; now at 2.40 metre above sea level at launch decking which equates to 0.8 metres depth in that area. This should just be OK for sailing and patrol boat use, with a final assessment to be made by the Race Officer at midday on Saturday. Also on Saturday the only training boats available for use are the club Ozi Opti, Sabres and Laser boats. Rain and storm water inflows are desperately needed to replenish the Lake water level. One or two further hot days without rainfall will see further deterioration in water level and see the lake become unsuitable for club sailing and powerboat use. Updates will be provided through Thursday Snippets and our club website.
