Posts: 37 Derrinallum | Hey everyone for sale is an original cut Irwin spinnaker. Since bought it would have been on the water under 30 times and never used in heavy breeze. Is in great condition but is being sold due to handicap changes leaving the old Mozzie unable to compete when rigged with spinnaker. For more Information, pictures and price contact through private message or email. No price viewed as reasonable will be refused. alnoone32@gmail.com Cheers everyone.

Unregistered | Hey you missed the point if it's only about Yardsticks. Don't forget sailing with the spinnaker is twice as much fun . Besides if you've only used the spinnaker a few times, you haven't even got the Mossie with spinnaker to top speed yet. You wouldn't believe what the Cat rigged Mossie with Spinnaker is capable of, which includes sailing to it's current Yardstick. | | | Re: Spinnaker for sale.

Unregistered | No doubt in my mind that the Sloop rig Mossie Yardstick is wrong with or without Spinnaker. The Association has tried to have it changed, but requests have fallen on deaf ears so far. Yachting Victoria isn't doing it anymore, they are relying on information from a guy in NSW (who by chance once upon a time was a Mossie sailor), who claims to be using at least partly a European Measurement System to come up with the Yardsticks. But also has designed the Yardsticks around performance in over 15 knot winds, because that is what we sail in most of the time. | | | Re: Spinnaker for sale.

Posts: 175 Melbourne | There is an easy solution to this, for club races at least.....as the Rye handicapper I have put all non-spin Mossies on the same yardstick....."swings and roundabouts"!!!
As a heavy sailor on a light boat I've found it is still skill that has the advantage with the Mossies......if sailed well they all go well.

Posts: 858 Victoria Australia | So the mozzie that was rigged with this spinnaker sailed sloop, and was built in the 70s. Has a platform weight of 80+ kgs. If you are able to get this to beat your brand new cat rigged spinnaker mozzie I'd like to see it....assuming of course the yardsticks are correct? take it off of the orange boat and set it up on the white one...... that would be an unbeatable combination. Karp will be running a kite when she makes it out of the shed and I don't think you'll like being that far behind Yar, & this ere post be done without a sin'le drop o' rum passin' me lips
