I don't believe there is any in Sydney and possibly NSW.

If you are looking for a club, I race out of Kurnell Catamaran Club and may pic up a Mozzie for myself to have a bit of fun (add spinnaker)

KCC once had a very healthy fleet of Mozzies and there are many pics of them up at our club. Currently we have members ranging from World Champs to novices in classes such as, Tornado, F18, A Class, Nacra 5.8, Taipan 4.9, Maricat 4.3, Maricat 5.0, Nacra 14 sq, Prindle 15. We also have a large catamaran division that races with us once a month.

Racing is on Sundays begining on the 2nd Sunday of September.

I am also from the northern beaches and have heard there is a cat club sailing up at Pittwater. Can someone verify this?

There are Mosquitos sailing at Lake Jinabyne but that's probably a bit too far to go for a day's sailing particularly this time of year.

If the Mozzies were to start their own fleets both on South side (Botany Bay) and on the North Shore that would be fantastic. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

There is a club in pitwater sailing from sandy beach I think they mostly sail hobies and they have a web site. I think they call themselvs palm beach sailing club. Unfortunatly Kernell is a little far away but its not out of the question. Ben 654

Hi,
this spreadsheet has been around for a while, Roy (1770) and Brian (formerly 1773) have been working on it. While sail number 957 isn't on there you might recognise some of the boat owners names around that time and find the history that way.
http://www.christiessailing.net/mossieinfo/Boat%20numbers%20&%20names.xls

If you can fill in any gaps in the spreadsheet PM me and and I will pass them on to Roy.

Alternative you could take a few pics of 957's hulls, internal too and we might be able to work out some info.

If anyone knows the Carter Hulls story it would make an interesting read. I've heard snippets of info, apparently he churned out Mosquitos by the dozen, did it in his spare time and was a wood working teacher, any more info out there?

I've owned two plywood Carter hulled Mosquitos and have been told my current boyer hulled boat (1704) is a copy of the Carter hull though it seems a bit more buoyant up front to me, rocker looks the same though.

Darryn,

Bloody fantastic to have a register <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />. I have copied it and shall update with all Westernport Bay Mozzies.

If it could then be added to by other Mozzie fleets then perhaps it could then be located on the National Mosquito Website. We could also add columns "sailed at", "build date" and "notes". Sorry I'm just getting enthusiastic <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />.

Regards,

Peter

Darryn,

It didn't take too long to update. I tried adding it as an attachment but the server won't let me upload an .xls file. See if you can get Yacht Club details added from your end. The new yachts at Lake Bonney could also be added.

Does anyone have details of how to upload .xls files ?

Regards,

Peter

You could try working around the restriction by renaming it to a .jpg file. I have created a small xls file, renamed it and attached it. One would have to tell the others about the necessary renaming back to .xls.
Lets see how it goes. It worked for me right now. Right-click - Save As - Do the rename of the extension.
The management may not be crazy about this.

Bobcat,

Thanks, I'll give it another try. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> It didn't work <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. When I try the save as command from the spreadsheet it doesn't allow me to put a jpg extension. If I try to right click from windows explorer it doesn't have a save as option. I think I must have failed internet science 101 !! Do you have any more hints ?

Regards,

Peter

p.s. What class Cat do you race ?

When you use the save as, type the name of the file as such
"file.xls" then select the file type as all files. By typing "dot xls it will save it as a an excel file. It works, I did it earlier. good luck

Another tip..

If your going the other way simply save your xls file somewhere and change the "name".xls to "name".jpg You may need to make windows explorer show file extentions... Then post it as a jpg.

i guess I need to expand my explanation a little. What I wrote was more concerning the downloader, not the uploader.

Starting with a saved .xls file on your computer save a copy of it someplace handy in preparation for the upload. As was suggested, I have my computer set to show all file extensions. I rename this file's extension to .jpg using the right-click menu(this is occuring outside of excel, I don't think you will be able to do the rename function inside XL). This file can now be uploaded using the forums attachment feature.

Forum users would then right-click the attachment and select the save-as function. It can be renamed back to .xls right now or after it is saved to the hard drive.


PS. I am kinda between boats right now. I have been sailing a Nacra 5.2 for years and am waiting for a Blade to show up in the next week or so.

I have attached the above linked boat file using this method. This worked for me using Internet Explorer. Using Mozilla Firefox, the save-as function was trying to save the file pointing at the attachment, not the attachment itself.

Hi all,
I have passed the details provided by those who PM'd me onto Roy and he will update the Mossie database. He tells me Phil Pearce(1765) supplied the original version.

Darryn,

I think this works. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Please pass on attachment to Roy. Maybe we should get it put on the National website.

Peter

Hi All,

Just thought I should add the 2 mossies I have had over the years (197 sold in 1994 and 321 current). I have updated the attachment.

Trevor,

I have also updated the file with all of the Mozzies from the recent past Victorian state titles, other regatta events and included your updates.
