Hi all,

Layday today so time for things other than sailing and socialising.

Great turn out of Mossies for nats, the fleet looks great spread out on the grass at Speers Point, beautiful location, shady trees for camping and rigging at this small friendly club, weather warm and humid. Access to the water a bit tight down concrete ramps on to rocky shoreline but with everybody helping each other out all good. Must be biggest fleet in NSW for a long time and great to have 2 from QLD & 2 from NSW.

Monday morning invitation race was light from the south and all went well. Then Monday arvo, time to get serious, with south east winds at 10 to12 knots making it choppy in the middle of the course. Few boats where ocs in the cat rigs, some went back some didn't as can be seen in the results. 2nd race was back to back, similar direction, but picked up to 14.5 knots. Wind was shifty, but not to difficult.

Tuesday, wind was further east, coming off a headland, very flat water and very gusty, about 15 to 18 in the gusts with big holes. The jelly fish caused problems for some, with rudders popping and some lock downs broken for those that didn't pop. Wind picked up as the afternoon went on with 3 bto b races run smoothly. Places swapped a lot for the small sloop fleet, but cats and spinnakers were more consistent, with th o exception of a number of calpsized in the cat rigs But as usual Unko had the fun and be the first spin to get wet whilst leading in the last race of the day.
Looking forward to getting back into it tomorrow, you should all be here, lock itin[spoiler][/spoiler] where ever it is next year, there is nothing like a Mossie nats bats.
