Our club always has 3 marks and the reaches are the fun part. IMHO anybody can do a reach, a learner doesn't have to pull it on or can pinch and gradually get their confidence but look at their faces when it finally clicks. My 2 girls were on the wire last year on the stingray with me sitting in during the Goolwa Milang when we pitchpoled. Yeah they were scared at the time but ask them now what race they want to do again and its the Goolwa Milang they've got the dreaded pitchpole out of the way and it was exciting.
