Sunday 6th July at ASC makes more sense, its not that cold in winter here usually.

In light wind some of them are quick, especially downwind, Masrm's, Young Rockets etc. Plus some of the crews were cat sailors and won Nationals back when sailing was a much bigger sport so the post race discussions can provide some very useful info.

The yardsticks dont work to well comparing cats and TS's so the results are more dependent on wind strength then sailing skill but its not about the results, everyone who sails wins.

well done darryn, just got home from another shift away and always keen to read up on who is sailing and where. i have won the rum race before also but on a uni-maran. yes, i have come over from the dark side. i hear they are building the weir at wellington and then opening up the entire lower lakes to salt water. which will be great for sailing, but not good for pastoralists who rely on the lake water. however it is all gone though. i will be sailing at either milang or murray bridge from now on as we have bought 75 acres at langhorne creek. however if there is no water anywhere i may have to make the long haul to christies still.

Brian,

Sailing at Murray Bridge will sharpen the reflex s interesting place to sail and sure does bring skills up a level as legs are fast and short

75 acres will take some mowing, I guess you have more room for the horses to roam, plenty of good sailing around there IF they build the weir but do you really think it will happen? I have never sailed at Murray Bridge, what sort of cats sail there?

Darryn,

Murray bridge is fun and fast but certainly need to be on your toes.

I have not sailed there for a few years now but used to have a mossie and stingrays and my A....and reaching across the river to a gybe mark I thought would be fun, and a chance for a breather until I saw that the stingrays were double trapping, heading to the river bank as fast as you can go is not for the faint hearted.....managed to do more damage there to the A than anywhere else I have sailed.....but fun.

I don't know how many boats are there at the moment but know they would welcome a fleet of mossies with open arms...food for thought and maybe when they have more water.

Let me know if you are interested as Peter and I would be starter too, I guess...along with a few from Barmera I would think.
