Hi. I see that there is 23 mosquito with spinnakers on the forum.So who is coming to the state.
Simon, now that you have a spinnaker I hope to see you at Loch Sport where you sailed your fist mosquito.
Peter N
Hi Peter,
I'll be there on some Mossie or other, there are at least 3 that float sitting in sheds around Eagle Point that I am sure nobody will notice if I steal. <img src="<>/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" height="15" width="15" />
hi all
I am in Queensland so I will not be able to attend
if there were queensland or NSW state or national titles
I will attend
hi gary
you can use my boat
Peter... I'm still recovering from the emotional scar left by being the first person rescued by your new boat <img src="<>/sick.gif" alt="sick" title="sick" height="15" width="15" /> I recall spending rather a lot of time stuck in your lovely mud, mast first. I've got a clash with kids sporting commitments but at this stage I'm planning on making the Sunday.
Cheers
Gary, if you're gonna steal one, can you make it a slow one <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />
HAHA good one simon.
i wont be there as im in QLD. i want to be there but can't.
Sorry Guys
So come on, we don't want to hear about who's not coming (understand you can't make it Matt and Tim's in England), but who is coming?
This weekend has offered some of the best spinnaker sailing ever in the past, great place to learn to go fast with your spinnaker and nice small fleet with short races (Sunday), keeps it all close. Prior to that you get to stretch your legs in the long race Saturday.
Can't beat the local hospitality either, make a long weekend of it, bring the family and enjoy the beautiful beaches and bush away from the crowds.
Due to the weather forecast on Sunday which is predicted for 35kns winds and storms,the Mosquito spinnaka states has been postponed to a later date.The race on Saturday will still go ahead,so if you can make the saturday it shoud be a great day.
Petern
Buggar, that was the day I could come.... with just you and Gary responding I was looking forward to cleaning up 3rd place! <img src="<>/laugh.gif" alt="laugh" title="laugh" height="15" width="15" /> Not something you'd see every day at a State Titles!
Just remember my brother simon!!!!
Hey Simon, not everyone posts on here, there are some old <img src="<>/sleep.gif" alt="sleep" title="sleep" height="15" width="15" /> mossie sailors that don't embrace such high tech stuff, give you a hint PWS <img src="<>/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" height="15" width="15" /> , was also attending.
But if you really want to improve your position in the fleet at the cat champs, why don't you see if one of those A classes that just sit around in the yard is available for me to sail? <img src="<>/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin" height="15" width="15" /> save me stealing a Mossie from Eagle Point. <img src="<>/laugh.gif" alt="laugh" title="laugh" height="15" width="15" /> Gary at Petes place.
I'd have settled for fourth!.... I think all boats are spoken for for the Cat Champs Gary ..... Do you want me to ask around tomorrow?
Hi Simon,
thanks for the offer of asking, was just kidding, but if somebody was game to lend me a boat and Insurance etc was all ok, I guess I would be up for it.
Anything to help improve your finishing position. <img src="<>/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" height="15" width="15" />
Gary (still at Petes place).
Gary if you could have my boat polished and set up on the beach when I get back that would be great <img src="<>/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" height="15" width="15" />
Think you must have mistaken me for somebody with a name beginning with B <img src="<>/crazy.gif" alt="crazy" title="crazy" height="15" width="15" />
Back from where and when ? <img src="<>/sleep.gif" alt="sleep" title="sleep" height="15" width="15" />
Anyway to busy sailboarding <img src="<>/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin" height="15" width="15" />.
Good call by Peter N on postponing the spinnaker states,
Had a great long distance <img src="<>/confused.gif" alt="confused" title="confused" height="15" width="15" /> sail on Saturday, Karma Cat was flying on awesome flat water and wind gusting to 20 knots, only problem was it was too fast <img src="<>/cry.gif" alt="cry" title="cry" height="15" width="15" />, with lots of reaching and only took 90 minutes <img src="<>/cool.gif" alt="cool" title="cool" height="15" width="15" /> .
But big wind <img src="<>/frown.gif" alt="frown" title="frown" height="15" width="15" /> came in even earlier than expected by 6am sunday and kept going all day. But it wasn't all bad, I got back to Paynesville and had a great sailboard <img src="<>/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin" height="15" width="15" /> , using the smallest sail I have a 4.5m on my old narrow board, it was awesome and out of control at times <img src="<>/crazy.gif" alt="crazy" title="crazy" height="15" width="15" />.
Hi All
Rye looks able to hold the spinnaker states on 14-15 dec need a bit of feed back if this time suits? if so will arrange something say 2 races sat and 4 on the sunday.. let me know interest as I am aware its close to christmas
and if we can only get a few boats it may pay to hold over till the new year
gordon
Can't say no when it's at Rye!!
Third time lucky for me maybe!!
As long as I can find a boat I will be there.
Saw the pics Garry, pretty amazing sequence!!!
Hopefully we will see you at Rye!!!
Matt will be there. I'll be there on one of the days due to work commitments.
Tim S (still in UK) said he should be able to make it.
I can't believe you guys don't check
MY
diary before booking things.... really!!
Couldn't have picked a worse weekend for me. <img src="<>/cry.gif" alt="cry" title="cry" height="15" width="15" /> but I shall endeavour to shuffle and make at least one of the days.... that's just the committed sort of bloke I am <img src="<>/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" height="15" width="15" />

But don't forget, all Mossies are welcome, even if you don't have a spinnaker <img src="<>/frown.gif" alt="frown" title="frown" height="15" width="15" /> . A great chance for Vics to warm up for Nats. <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />
