Sydney Flying Squadron
Brass Monkey Regatta
12th and 13th August 2006
Yes, the cats are invited again this year. Last years event saw about 8 Catamarans from NSW and Vic taking on more than 50 monos including the mighty 18, 16, 14 and 12 foot skiffs. The 2 A Class cats also walked away with the regatta, taking the top 2 places in the go fast division.
Cats included 1x Taipan 5.7, 1x Tiger, 4x F16, 2x A Class. This event conflicted with both the AUS F18 Nationals last year and the Hamo race week. It should be much bigger and better than last year..... Which was a first class event despite.
More info available in the new week, including NOR. Rigging will be available at the SFS and also Woollahra SC.
Lets give a show of force this year and really give it to the Skiffies.

is macca bringing the super-pan?
I really want to, but it depends on my schedule, I am in germany from the 8th July to the 10th August for the Tornado Euopeans and some business meetings. Then I need to somehow get the Sydney 38 from Sydney to Hamilton Island for Race week (1200 miles) which starts on the 19 August. I am trying to sort a delivery crew so I can:
A) actually see my family for one day after a month away before going again for a few weeks!
B) get to sail in the brass Monkey regatta which I missed last year due to big boat racing.
Even if I don't get there I will try to get the boat there.
Macca, if you can not get a skipper, I will be willing to put the Capricorn aside if you like.
Notice of Race and on line entry can now be found on the event web site

On the 29th of July 2006, Woollahra Sailing Club will be hosting a Marathon Pursuit race for all Skiffs, Catamarans and Dinghies around the picturesque Sydney Harbour. First signal shall be made not before 1230hrs.
This event will be 2 weeks prior to Sydney Flying Squadron’s annual Brass Monkey Regatta which is open also to all Skiffs, Cats and Monos. Therefore the WSC Marathon would make a great warm up event to big one……… The Brass Monkey Regatta.
If you would like a NOR for the Marathon, please email me.
