Hi Gary
Try the link on Yachting Vics site, it works, you can see who has entered, and enter yourself.
3or4 mozzies from Boga will be there.

The NoR link is ok now. When BeYC updated it they changed the file name as well.

I am thinking of going, but Lindsay has my sail, and he's in Weymouth with the i14s. This might be a bit tricky!

Results are up on this link:

If that doesnt work just Google Bendigo yacht Club

From my perspective, it was a great weekend, PLENTY of wind on Saturday followed by 1 light race Sunday morning. 17 Mossies turned up in all, with Mick and Sarah taking the home ground advantage. They were untouchable in the big winds on Saturday. 4 Spinnaker boats were dotted through the results which looks to be a good prelude to the states at the Cat Champs.

I did better than expected with Eliza my new crew at her first regatta and getting used to using the Spi - we both made some good errors. My most noticable - The first was lacing the Spi halyard into the Jib / bridle, couldnt work out why the thing wouldnt go up <img src="<>/whistle.gif" alt="whistle" title="whistle" height="15" width="15" /> - and the first rounding of the gate mark, My sincerest apologies to the new Mossie sailor I shoved out of the way <img src="<>/blush.gif" alt="blush" title="blush" height="15" width="15" />

Plenty of well tired people Saturday night (I for one had to bow out by 10:00pm). It will be on my list for next year - Just need to get the wind to change further to the south so we can get a course that the spectators can see.

Well done Bendigo Yacht Club <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />

Yup. Saturday was a blast. Lots of wind with big gusts and flat water. Mick's sloop was literally smoking to windward - that's what it looked like.

Had a great tussle with Ewan in the first race. He just crossed the line half a boatlength ahead for 2nd place.

The lake was great. I've never seen it full like that.
