Hi Darryn,

glad you enjoyed the article. It is a shame about inland clubs, many inland clubs in Vic. use to hold regattas early in season which I enjoyed, but there are only a few left now.

As far as the Mosquito being eligible, as long as it is Mosquito class compliant to all current Mossie rules it is eligible for F16 forever, light weight is a plus but this is balanced against undersize rig. But as soon as it is not Mosquito class compliant ie. you have a larger main sail or taller mast. You would have to bring complete boat up to minimum F16 weight.

Regards Gary.
