I was wondering if there are any Queenslanders with mosquitos? The class seems to be going great in the southern states and I would like to try to encourage more ppl in QLD to start sailing them. Are the rumours correct that they used to be popular up here?
From what I've heard there were a LOT of Mosquitos in QLD.
My old boat
Whiteside Express
is a QLD boat (I still have it). I've met a few QLD Taipan sailors at the Wildcat Regatta who are all ex-Mosquito men.
There must be Mosquitos around. You just have to find them. The Taipan sailors in your area may know of some.
Nick,
There were two National title holders from QLD 1986 - 1988 (Whiteside Express and Fly by Nite) sloop rigged. Both ending up in Victoria. The competition must have been strong in QLD around that time but hey that was 20 years ago. <img src=
