Guys,

There is a strong chance that I will be in NSW for a large part of next year....doing course.....and looking at bringing boat with me, planning on sailing somewhere so as to give me a day away from the books.

Where do you sail....and my boat should be rigged for spinnaker by the time I get there.

Also happy to help in whatever way I can to get things up and running.

Where will you be staying?
This will probably effect your choice of club.
There is the Palm Beach Club on the Northern Beaches or the Port Kembla Sailing Club on the Southern Coast of the City.

A kite will fix that

Cat / sloop rigged, it is a perfect platform to begin on. When you gain more knowledge, then a spinnaker can be added which will satisfy the most experienced skipper.

What other cat can you buy in OZ that will offer this for so few $$$$$. Very affordable spinnaker racing.

I would not worry about someone saying the Mossie is not fast enough, it is not the boat for him. It is more about comparing apples with apples. All the faster 16ft cats I know also cost $5000 to $10,000 more. As for the Mossie being slow have a talk to some of the Taipan sailers at the Wild Cat Regatta and you will get a different story.
When you get the NSW Mossie association up and running again I for one will be happy to come sail with you.
If it is bang for your buck the Mossie does stack up.

building a new mossie with a kite so Hopefully I give all these h16,taipans,nacras a run for their money. So I think this one should have more than enough punch.

News on the NSW Association Development..

For a person who has never built a website, Will has put together NSW Mossie Association website and has done a great job in such a short period.
He has put together a good base and with more development expected the website will be a good source of information and should help facilitate the begginings of the NSW Association.

I recommend people bombard him with news and photos to help build more content.

Here is the Domain http://www.nswmossie.com/

Happy surfing.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
