Hi all,
well Wildcat Regatta lived up to its name in more ways than one. 93 cats entered (thats Wild), 4 Mossies with spinnaker joined in the medium mixed cat div with Taipans etc. Matt, Tash (Wild effort 1700km travel each way, all those that didn't attend should hang their heads in shame), Brett (Gold Coast) and I (Vic). Mossies gained Line Honours in all races (that made other cats Wild)
and handicap honours
.
Also had 1 Mossie sloop in small mixed cat fleet, with Greg finding the wide open? spaces of Wallis Lake a Wild experience, normaly sails on Grafton River
, and came away with 3rd place. Full results on Website.
Wildcat because of Wild partying, because of Wild boats (A classes with all sorts of Wild appendages)
, but also because of Wild crashes
. Saturday F18 holed A class, Sunday A class wrote off one hull of a Hobie 18. But worst of all Monday Nacra 16sq, put major hole (yet to find out if written off) and broke mast, tore sail etc of Thrice Bitten, ended up with Nacra completly supported clear of the water on top of upturned Mossie, in water depth I could stand in
.
