THANKS FOR ENTERING 2019 MARATHON #3 MANDURAH CANALS

A NEW COURSE IN A NEW SPOT: SHOULD BE FUN !!

Sunday 8th December

Course Details:

Hazards:
Complicated Course:
Turns in canals will all be policed by Turn Marshalls with Hi-Vis Vests on. Slower paddlers will go off first and fast paddlers last to keep everyone together. One boat will go ahead and point out key turn points. Second boat will come up behind.

Boat Traffic, Choppy Watet:
The course is mainly in the canals but there could be large boats in the main channel [short sections of race] COME IN YOUR OCEAN SKI UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY COMFORTABLE IN CHOPPY WATER. It is recommended you wear your PFD if you are in your K1.
Canal Walls:
The locals say there is a step, below the water line, which will be good to stand on when getting back on, if you fall in [lets hope they are right]
