I reckon a Mozzie would fit in alright at Cairns yacht club. I had a look at there site, seems to be some cat sailing going on at Ellis beach. I raced my Mozzie in Townsville, mostly dinghys there back then.

I have not heard of the spirit of the class rule. I cant place where that is defined either. Personally I find the class to be progressive, compared to Lasers and Flying Fifteens which I now race too, the Mozzy Associations are open to new ideas and practical, sensible proposals which wont obsolete the entire fleet overnight are voted in at AGM's.

I just copied and pasted this out of the constitution
"Promote the development of the Mosquito class catamaran and control the building rules and
class restrictions to ensure consistency" Nothing about spirit their.


You could always go this path with your new ideas.
"A member may propose an alteration to the plans, specifications and/or restrictions by submitting
a notice of motion detailing such alteration to the State/Territory Association for endorsement and
forwarding to the National Association"
Which, you know, gets voted on by the members.
