Watch for a sudden increase in strength of the seabreeze.

3500 ft asl ceiling above/behind launch, but changes to 2500 ft, approx 2.5 klms in a SE direction out front.

The current Winton site record (straightline distance from launch to landing) was set in Jan 2005 by Rob Steane. It started at this site and after a 60 klm flight in a NW direction, ended at Catagunya Rd, NW of Ouse. This was also the open Tasmanian record, for the next six years.
