!!!! At Wisemans - from 8:30pm until last paddler through
* LCRK meeting point 40 metres downriver from main launching ramp (see photos below - look for the red electronic timing board used for our Time Trials)
* LCRK marquee
* Free catering for LCRK land crew and social HCC paddlers (thanks Tony Carr!)
* Informal tracking of LCRK craft passing through
* Club support for land crews in landing and re-launching their paddlers
* Reminder to paddlers to check out at 2nd Wiseman's checkpoint.

!!!! Low Tide Pit-Stop
If you need a last stop on your down-river run and succumb to the "sirens", you will, as usual, be offered smiles, "mud angel" landing and re-launching services, sometimes "paddle through" service; fire for warmth; smiles; hot food and drink; and more smiles - this is not a club facility but a wonderful service volunteered annually to all participants. Remember the location this year is about half a kilometre upstream from its old spot –it is at a boat ramp (= less mud!)

!!!!LCRK Club Hawkesbury Training Paddles 2019

With a full competition calendar, including the Wyong Ultra Marathon, the Myall Classic and the Clarence 100 the week before this year’s Hawkesbury Classic there are good opportunities for getting some excellent competitive kilometres under your belt.

For this reason and to try and help you improve your preparation we have added some distance into the Club’s Hawkesbury training paddles. They are designed to help you with refamiliarising yourself with where you should be and when on the night given the expected tidal conditions.

The first of this year’s training paddles will be focusing on the section below Wiseman’s from Low Tide Pitstop through to Bar Point, Milson’s Passage and to the finish.

The second training paddle will focus on maximising distance and time through the Big W where the tide is expected to turn to carry you to the finish.

'''Training Paddle 1'''[[<<]]
Aim: To get some distance training and plan route approaching Spenser, Bar Point through Milsons Passage to finish.[[<<]]
Date: Sunday 15th September - Mooney Mooney to Low Tide Pitstop Return[[<<]]
Distance: 45kms OR choose your own distance to return but paddle at least to Spencer 21kms return[[<<]]
Meet: 7:00am at Deerubbin Boat Ramp and Car Park. Briefing: 7:40am First start at 8:00am[[<<]]
Tides: Mooney Mooney Bridge High at 09:14am, Singleton Mill (Low Tide Pitstop) High at 10:21am[[<<]]
The idea is to paddle up with the tide and return on the outgoing tide.[[<<]]
NOTE: This paddle is weather dependent.[[<<]]

'''Training Paddle 2'''[[<<]]
Aim: To work out best route through Big W for the Hawkesbury[[<<]]
Date: Sunday 13th October - Naughty Wiseman’s Beach to Lower Portland Ferry Return[[<<]]
Distance: 37kms OR choose to return at 14km mark to return through the Big W.[[<<]]
Meet: 7:30am at Naughty Wiseman’s Car Park. Turn left off Old Northern Road opposite Wiseman’s Ferry Public Wharf. [[<<]]
Briefing: 8:00am First start at 8:30am[[<<]]
Tides: Wiseman’s Ferry High at 10:49am (1.4m) Lower Portland High at 11:49am

# How do you work out your base speed? See Tom Holloway's excellent article for more detail but he recommends assuming you paddle at 90% of your time trial speed. Stops are additional as are delays waiting for one or more car ferries. Your average speed overall will probably be around 85% of your time trial speed, all else being equal.

!!!! 2019 HCC 'Calculator'
LCRK is please to provide this Microsoft Excel based 'calculator' which is preloaded with HCC 2019 Tides all the way up to Windsor and incorporating associated tidal and riverine flows (all other things being equal which they never are!!). To use, download the tool, open up Excel, adjust ONLY the yellow shaded cells ie:-
# Update your Windsor start time
# Update your expected base speed (either constant for whole 100km, or you can slow yourself down as your energy flags)
# Adjust your expected stop time (eg if it's 1/2hr then enter as =0.5/24 to keep excel happy!)
# The calculator will then derive your ETA at respective checkpoints, including adjustments for current.
# The course map (separate worksheet) will be automatically updated and can be printed out/laminated on a single A4 page for you &/or your landcrew.
# Print out different versions eg at 9km/h, 10km/h, 11km/h base speed - you'll know by your first stop which one you should be using!
# How do you work out your base speed? See Tom Holloway's excellent article for more detail but he recommends assuming you paddle at 90% of your time trial speed. Stops are additional as are delays waiting for one or more car ferries. Your average speed overall will probably be around 85% of your time trial speed, all else being equal. See: http://www.lcrk.org.au/pmwiki/uploads/Main/HowFast_HCC.pdf
# Note that whilst there's a bit of science behind this tool - there are many other important variables in play including wind, river knowledge, washriding etc - which can make the tool a bit of sideshow. Use the tool in conjunction with ALL your planning.

%rfloat width=450px margin-top=5px margin-right=5px%Attach:hcccalc.jpg|[-Above: Calculator produces prepopulated map showing ETA's-]

For those wanting more detail. The new calculator identifies tides at Fort Denison (HH, LL, H, L), then adjusts that tide all the way up to Windsor some 5-7 hours later. Current patterns have been modelled for 4 sections of the river (between stops) using data from MHL, DPW etc. Your ETA at a particular checkpoint is adjusted based on your base paddle speed and the anticipated current at the time you are travelling. Short or long stops will affect the tide you catch (or are caught by). Further fine tuning CAN be done - but no point over-engineering it, you might be affected by winds, broken down ferries, unplanned swims etc. Good luck!

!!!Hawkesbury Canoe Classic 26-27 October 2019
'''2019 HCC Tides and Boat Choice''' from Tom Simmat [[<<]]
As of May 2019 and the publishing of Start Times:
* Women singles start at 4:15pm
* Women's doubles and mixed and men's singles at 5:00pm
* Mens doubles 5:15pm
BUT this is subject to change.

''Tides''[[<<]]
Everyone starts WITH the tide, but the tide turns against you, generally between checkpoints B and C. there is a brief tide against you, through Snackville, then the tide turns with you; (the fast guys at about Checkpoint G and the slower guys between E and F. So somewhere about the big W. The tide is with you then through Wisemans to the finish for the fast ones and slower ones will catch the turn at about Spencer.

You need to try and finish before the tide turns near the finish at about 2:30am. That is a race time of about 10hr 45min for women and 9hr 30 min for men, otherwise you will be battling a very strong tide against you between Spencer and the finish.

So in order to avoid the second tide against you this year, pick a fast boat or a double. Stop at Sackville when the tide is against you. Do not linger at Wisemans when the tide is with you. Landcrew this year the tide at Wisemans is high and going out...
