Scouts at the Forebay doing some righting practice.


Officially, Moss is a Div 3 Hobie event. However, there are other local fleets that funsail down the coast. This is organized by the local kayak shop. Maybe MHRA would like to borrow the Surf City Skiff and do a separate start for the Sat downwind run? I can't offer it on Sun. There's a fleet of Windriders, a few monos etc that just sail in a pack to Moss. Our party pretty much kicks! We fire the cannon, BBQ and hang out with all of our great sailing friends and family.

This year the shadowy and mysterious governing body of the event wants to have a music festival in conjunction with the regatta. We'll see what happens.

Mostly, I want a rematch with Eric. Last time we were on the water together, it was too rough to catch him downwind in the Surf City skiff. I want to try him on something more appropriate like the FX next time. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Here's a little vid of the 2006 Alter Cup Qualifier where a certain Taipan going sooo fast downwind I couldn't catch him due to the bumpy conditions. Very slow action, topped out at about 10kts at best. The vid quality is bad, which I why I don't share this one much.
