Just in case people haven't thought about the state titles yet here is a link to Somers Y.C. <a href="ttp://www.somersyc.org.au/" target="_blank">ttp://www.somersyc.org.au/</a> for the location of the upcoming state titles which are only 6 weeks away. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

A link to the notice of race is here http://home.vicnet.net.au/~mosquito/states2007.htm

We hope to have a full contingent of 12 Mozzies from Somers <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> and would like to hear from others intending to participate.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

great to hear so many locals will be sailing. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

If there are any boats left over give me a yell. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Regards Gary. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Gary,

I'll keep my ear to the ground but there is high interest within the club from other cat sailors who intend to take any spare Mozzies. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> If the status changes for any reason I'll let you know.

Regards,


Peter

I've booked a tent site at Somers Holiday Village, can boats be stored at the club?

Darryn

I'd better get on to booking some accommodation, as I'm planning to go to the state titles. Not sure whether I'll be sailing Mk1 or Mk2 as yet.

Col,

Boats can be stored in the boat yard for the duration of the event. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Trailer storage might be a different proposition <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> but there is storage outside the boat yard in the main carpark amongst the trees. It may pay to either lock the trailer coffin/s or take any valuables with you.

Regards,

Peter

Darryn,

Oops! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I meant to put your name rather than Col. Sorry. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
By the way, it's a long way to come from Adelaide for the Victorian titles. Bloody good effort. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Regards,

Peter

Hi Darryn,

if you are going I am even keener to attend. Just have to find a spare boat, will you be racing the boat you had at the Nats?

There must be a spare boat out there some where <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />.

Regards Gary. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Gary,

I started distributing the entry forms around Somers Y.C.
The ladies and the newest enty are a bit hesitant at this stage. There may be some hope yet. I'll continue to keep scouting.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Gary
I am still sailing Top Gun, 1704, the boat is faster then me <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />.

Darryn

Hey there
Myself(Ben) and Will are going to make the trip from sydney for some sailing lessions from all the seasoned mozzie racers.
I have purchaced a old mozzie it will be painted this weekend and ready to make the trip down.
Looking foward to seeing the other boats.
Hopefully there will be a big turn out!!!

Ben and Will,

Great to hear that you are coming all the way from Sydney for the state titles. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Look forward to seeing you guys at Somers. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It should be a great event. More like a nationals than a state titles with 3 states represented. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Regards,


Peter

Hi Ben

I thought you already had a boat! Careful or you can end up with a back yard full of boats (I speak from experience).

Are you going to double-deck the two Mozzies down to Somers?

Hi Peter

Maybe there is something to be said here........holding nationals outside of the xmas / new year period. I for one will never be able to attend a nationals whilst they are held Dec / Jan!

Cheers

Steve

Hi Tim

We are doubling the boats down there.
We are both hoping to sell all boats before next season so we can get ourselves a newer fiberglass boat.

Just dont think building a new mossie out of marine ply will keep up with the glass boats so Ive decided to can building one.

regards
William

Ben and Will,

The boat yard will be open on the Friday afternoon so you can set up. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

If we end up running out of space for trailers a couple of the Somers Mozzie sailors (me included) have offered to store trailers at their houses.

Regards,

Peter

Hi All,

I have booked the camping site at Somers, and am now looking on-line for a tent and some beach rollers...

I had a half arsed attempt at making some rollers - but they bent on the third use!!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

See you all there.

Trevor,

Great news. Look forward to seeing you at Somers. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Don't worry too much about beach rollers. I'm sure we will have enough to share them around a bit.

Regards,

Peter

Hi all,

don't mean to put a damper on things but you will have to survive with out me. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />. Nobody wanted to lend me the worlds fastest Mossie, so I am not coming <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />.

Will be going for a blast from the past instead, I use to sail Fireballs and they are having states at Paynesville, so unlike some classes <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />, they are lending me a boat. I will crew and Ben will skipper, so maybe he will get his own back after crewing for me on the Mossie <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. This could be ugly <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />.

Good luck all, hope you enjoy it as much as I will <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

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