theres another way which is easier, go to your local post office and say i want to pay for city link, and they ask you for your reg and when are you going through, weekend pass works from friday midday to sunday, it will cost $12.
doesnt matter if you go through it first or been through you still have 5 days to pay it after you been, just at your local post office

Thanks for the tips guys I'll get it sorted in advance. I'm going through Melbourne early on Friday because last year it took 5hrs to get to Melbourne then 3.5hrs in a traffic jam to get to the lake. see you there
regards

Citylink website is not so good, cannot purchase, ring 13 26 29 and buy ticket.
Can pay in Victorian Post offices also.
Darryn

Yep - that's a really crummy website!!!

Rang them up got an account no stress, good weather forcast with wind and not freezing. You'll spot me on the highway a mile away with the Arrow on top of the Taipan.

Can you mozzie sailors help me out... I can't seem to find where to add my crew anywhere on the entry form can anyone help out a clearly stupid stingray sailor?

I don't think there's anything you can do about it. This is the TopYacht entry system and it thinks it knows how many crew members each class has.

It insists Mosquitoes must have a crew - that's why you see the inventive names being created for the one-up Mozzie crews.

They'll sort out your crew details at registration ("press '0' to talk to a real person").

Hi all,

21 entries now, impressive.

Mind you somebody from way out west has got a crew with a similar name to a F16 that competed at Portland, bit suss.
But I guess somebody had to show some class .

Hey there,

Apologies we cannot make the trip down from the north.

Would have been great to add our numbers to your impressive list.

We have made our own impact by getting all 4 boats to the Toukley Brass monkey for the weekend.

2 from SEQ and Karl and Ben from NSW.
That's about as good as we can do at present.

Good luck to all, look forward to checking the results.

Drew,

Great to see such a good showing of Mozzies at a regatta up your way. Maybe you will have the biggest fleet too.

Good luck to all and please send in a report after the regatta.. It's always great to see how well you clean up.

Regards,

Peter

That's an awesome effort. Pretty much a 100% turnout! I'm sure the other classes will wonder where all the Mozzies are coming from.

Thanks Tim.

Unfortunately Michael had his rudders stolen off his boat and stayed in Brisbane.

3 of us have made it and raced.

See other seperate post on results.

If anyone can help with a set of mossie rudders for michael's boat it would be appreciated.

Hi all,

massive weekend. I think they said 187 boats entered. With 9 divisions.

Mossies where Div. 9 with a swarm of 24, also the largest class at the regatta, WOW nice to be in a growing class, most impressive thing was the performance of the youngsters, with Matt and James doing well with their kites and when the wind was up beating me upwind, also Nick and Mitch 1749 and 1747 sailing their Mossies for the first time, not only finishing the windy race upright but beating other Mossies home. Wind where mostly light, but relatively warm which was good. Results as follows.

Now for a serious rebuild on 1760 over the winter, can't wait for the new season.

Hey All,
Looks like you had a massive turnout Good work.
Am really looking foward to the nationals this year hope we can get this turn out also.
Ps Gary I also would be rebuilding your boat with results like that.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, it wasnt my rudders, it was my near new carbon fibre tiller extension (ive had it for about 2 months) as well as part of my tiller assembly. Not as expensive as rudders, but still very frustrating.

G'day I had a look at the photo's my daughter took at the Sauna Sail. Hardly a photo of me because the Mozzies were too thick heres some you may like

Couple more

Peter Foulsom has done a nice write up of the Sauna Sail weekend which can be found on the VMCA home page.

Thanks Peter.

There are some scumbags around!!

The alternative is a piece of plain old 16mm aluminium tube. It's light, cheap and just needs rubbing with coarse sandpaper to give it grip. They also don't snap like the carbon ones.
