St Leonards State Titles

For anyone thinking of camping, the St Leonards Seaside Caravan Park has plenty of powered sites available at $30 a night for 2 adults. The number to call is 03 5259 2764.

Bugger... It doesn't pay to book in advance. I booked a few weeks back and got charged $43 per night for me and a 2 man tent.

On a happier note, I'm taking delivery of a new sail the weekend before. Not sure if it will help my "skills" at all but at least the *rse end of the fleet will look a bit smarter this year.

Is only the back end of the Cats that needs smartening up - The sloops have been looking smart for quite a while with a certain 'Botany Blue' mossie way out there!

Trevor,

That's a fair point you make though given the 3 min head start I was sort of hoping to not see quite as much of a certain "Botany Blue" boat this year.

Cheers

hey trevor,
long lost son wants to know if your going to the states?

Hi Matt

Certainly am, and now booked on the web booking form. Yet to pay and yet to book accom. Probably at the St Leonards Seaside park as per Tims email though.

Trevor,

Will it be cat or sloop rigged?
I am starting to think about it!

Hi Peter

Definately get in there!

I will be sloop rigged - Unless I can find another boat for the crew to sail!

Simon,

I booked a camping site today and it was $43 per night.

It appears that if it's a long weekend then peak rates apply.

Apparently there is some clause in the fine print.

Peter

We have 16 entries received so far. 4 sloops and 12 cats. Not bad for a whole week before the event.

If you haven't entered yet you can do it at the Online Entry page of the VMCA web site (you can pay your entry fee at registration).

Not really. It's still 18. The rest will enter on the day. See you there.

Now that it has been blowing 30 to 40 knots for 3 days , the weather pressure charts and the forecast indicates that it should be perfect for 3 days of racing.

What a welcome change !!!
