Hi Col
Where did you see a 12 year old age limit? That's the first I've heard of that.
3. ELIGIBILITY
All competitors shall be financial members of the MCASA to qualify for nomination at a
State Heat or resail of a State Heat. A proxy Mk II crew is allowed providing that a regular
crew is financial and permission is sought from the Sailing Committee prior to each heat via
a written request. Only financial crew are eligible to receive prizes.
All skippers shall be aged 12 years or older at the time of racing.
All crews shall be aged 12 years or older at the time of racing unless they have successfully
completed the "Australian Yachting Federation National Proficiency Scheme - Introductory
Certificate" (TL 1) and can produce their AYF TL 1 certificate at time of registration.
I copied this from the NOR contained in the newsletter, link below. I have heard some rumours about why it is in there but dont know the facts, was before my time sailing Mosquitos.
