Thanks Gary.

I'm not sure 9 years is a "short time" but it has been a lot of fun. Sad to see her go but I grew weary of no week to week competition and didn't want to change clubs. That left a Taipan as the only real alternative for me as we have a fleet that races regularly. I suspect the extra width and sail area might be a little more suited to my ageing, lanky (and not so light anymore) frame

Truth be known... having collected a 2nd in a state title I've clearly reached the pinnacle of my Mozzie sailing career... It can only be downhill from there as I can't see myself mowing down your Carbon Beast so it is a good time to move on.

Thanks to everyone for the assistance when starting out and friendship and fun along the way.... and for voting me President at one stage (because no one else would stand )

Good luck at the nationals for those making the trip.

See you on the water
