Hi all,
just want to say,
Good Luck
to all competing in the Nats starting monday in S.A. at Christies Beach. The invasion of Vic's is on the way.
In the cat rigs Bob will be hard to beat as always, unless his wheelchair gets stuck on the shore. <img src=

Bee Alert
his bionic knee seems to be fully operational this year. Could be the battle of oldies <img src=
alt=
/>.
Current Vic state champ, Neil who's cows don't let him go sailing as often as he would like, will try to sneak in under the Radar as usual and a fully rested Tim, direct from overseas holidays, should never be discounted. <img src=

/> So watch out you Crow Eaters trouble is on the way. <img src=

By the way as the local Mossies leave their favourite home on the Gippsland Lakes, more move in for the Holidays.
Lemon Peel

Red Alert
have been spotted localy. <img src=

Sounds like your not coming over Gary?
Hi Darryn,
no despite the rumours,(some people just don't believe what you tell them). I was never intending to, don't own a Mossie <img src=
alt=
/> and the pins in the Voodoo doll didn't work this year <img src=
alt=
/>. Still waiting for a Blade F16.
Would have enjoyed the big waves if the wind came up, but can't do everything. <img src=
alt=
/>
Good Luck.
Regards Gary. <img src=

Shame about the Voodoo doll not working.
I will post the results on here as I get them.
Darryn
Good luck to all competitors and hoping you all have an excellent and safe nationals
So does anyone know how the nationals going at the moment?
Hi all,
I think today was just Invitation race, was going to wait until Wed. night to contact Tim, Neil or Peter after some serious racing. Bob always foxes in the invitation race <img src=

Hi all,
from phone conversations, Cat rig Vic. Bob is leading with 2 wins Tues and 1 wed. Other heat winners Peter N and Chris Dean. So it looks like Bob clearly winning as it sounds like his worst place is second, with S.A.'s Darren and Chris fighting with Vic. Neil, Tim and Peter for the following places. Lots of hard luck stories, very flukey conditions, one race Tim lead around every bouy but ended up 3rd. across the line. <img src=
alt=
/>
Sloop rigs don't have much detail but nobody has more than two wins, with S.A. Warwick and Simon doing well with Vic. Mick mixing it up plus others.
Thurs. is a lay day. Back to racing Frid. Hope they get some good conditions. <img src=

Regards Gary. <img src=

Results to R5, I have a .xls spreadsheet with the times and some calculations but forum rejected .xls, is that normal?

Hi Darryn,
yes that is normal, excel must be just common in OZ or something. Every now and again I forget and try to attach one. Guy's like Tim convert them to something else, but I don't know how. Can read the results you posted OK with magnifier.
Good luck to everyone Frid. the last day. <img src=

Hi all,
just got of the phone, as expected Bob won cat rigs<img src=
alt=
/>.
But local boy shone through for second, congratulations Chris, a great effort on old Boyer hulls <img src=
alt=
/>. Tim placed third about time he stopped following Neil who placed 4th. <img src=
alt=
/>
Sloops won by S.A. Warwick. <img src=
alt=
/>
So all is back to normal after last years aborition at Loch Sport <img src=

/>.
Regards Gary. <img src=

I won't say anything about those old boyer hulls <img src=
