Sauna Sail - 05/18/09 02:45 AM

You can enter online at this link:

Sauna Sail online entry form

If you are a Mk1 sailor be prepared to enter your crew's name. There should be a prize for the most imaginitive crew's name invented (if you've already entered you can go back and "improve" your crew's name through the above link).

So far 17 boats have entered of which 6 are Mosquitoes. Thats 35% Mosquito. Sounds like a good ratio to me. To keep it that way we need another Mozzie to enter for every two entries from any other class. Let's make it happen!

List of current entrants

Also interesting to note that only 4 of the 17 are monohulls.

Hi Tim,

I love a challenge, actually got me to get around to entering. So what do I win confused for best crew name? Only problem is it is the truth cry.

Re: Sauna Sail - 05/18/09 11:27 AM

Nice one. Good to see Neil and Matt have also risen to the challenge. The Mozzies are making an impression already.

The winner will be decided by popular vote (clapometer?) round the camp fire. There will be a prize of some sort.

We are now 8 out of 22 entries. keep 'em coming.

Hi all,

16 Mossies pre entered is a great effort. cool

I think we could see 20, knowing some that haven't entered and with new ones turning up in Paynesville almost every day, shocked some of which may get there.

Would be a great tribute for Philip's Birthday, he was my first contact when I got into the class back in about 97'and he was helping Mossie's grow in Victoria before that and since. Funny thing is he doesn't seemed to have aged much since then, maybe it is the beard. wink Or maybe I have aged with him. cry

Hi all,

the Mossie Swarm is growing in Paynesville, 1747 and 1749 have been recently purchased from S.A. and are intending to attend the Sauna Sail. That makes 19, plus some others we know are likely to attend. We could end up with the largest fleet, would't that be a surprise. grin

Hi all,

Ken Robinson from Lake Boga has now made it 19 official entries with Touch 'n' Go. cool I guess Garry Johnstone may have had a hand in this. grin

It's numbers like these that really make the class shine. smile

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/01/09 12:14 PM

Well done on getting so many Mozzies going! Of course you need twice as many Mozzies to go to match the percentage of 5.7's built that are attending grin
Unfortunately I have to cross Melbourne and that means racking up fines for not paying for toll roads that I'm never aware I'm on, so can anyone tell me how you prepay the tolls.

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/01/09 12:34 PM

Jeff,

Go to citylink and pre-buy a pass (buy pass) for the weekend and one for the Monday. I assume that you would only need one for the Westgate freeway tunnel and Monash Freeway. More info is available at the following website.

http://www.citylink.com.au/

If you were to use the Eastern Freeway (Ringwood to Frankston) then that would be a different tollway (Eastlink). frown

See you at Hazelwood.

Regards,

Peter

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/02/09 05:19 AM

I don't live in Melbourne so didn't want to pay up front for an E-tag that I would hardly ever use.

I found instead I could open an account with Citylink (no cost to do this). So now I just drive anywhere I like and if I happen to go through any of those toll points they look up my rego and a week or two later just take it out of my credit card. The only extra charge over having an E-tag is a rego-spotters fee - about $1.50 for the day I think.

It's great - I've never had to deal with Citylink since.

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/02/09 05:40 AM

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/02/09 07:39 AM

theres another way which is easier, go to your local post office and say i want to pay for city link, and they ask you for your reg and when are you going through, weekend pass works from friday midday to sunday, it will cost $12.
doesnt matter if you go through it first or been through you still have 5 days to pay it after you been, just at your local post office
Posted By: JeffS

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/02/09 08:03 AM

Thanks for the tips guys I'll get it sorted in advance. I'm going through Melbourne early on Friday because last year it took 5hrs to get to Melbourne then 3.5hrs in a traffic jam to get to the lake. see you there

Citylink website is not so good, cannot purchase, ring 13 26 29 and buy ticket.
Can pay in Victorian Post offices also.

Rang them up got an account no stress, good weather forcast with wind and not freezing. You'll spot me on the highway a mile away with the Arrow on top of the Taipan.

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/04/09 04:18 AM

Can you mozzie sailors help me out... I can't seem to find where to add my crew anywhere on the entry form blush can anyone help out a clearly stupid stingray sailor?
Posted By: Tim_Mozzie

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/04/09 08:44 AM

I don't think there's anything you can do about it. This is the TopYacht entry system and it thinks it knows how many crew members each class has.

It insists Mosquitoes must have a crew - that's why you see the inventive names being created for the one-up Mozzie crews.

They'll sort out your crew details at registration ("press '0' to talk to a real person").

Hi all,

21 entries now, impressive. grin

Mind you somebody from way out west has got a crew with a similar name to a F16 that competed at Portland, bit suss. frown
But I guess somebody had to show some class wink.

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/05/09 02:56 AM

Hey there,

Apologies we cannot make the trip down from the north.

Would have been great to add our numbers to your impressive list.

We have made our own impact by getting all 4 boats to the Toukley Brass monkey for the weekend.

2 from SEQ and Karl and Ben from NSW.
That's about as good as we can do at present.

Good luck to all, look forward to checking the results.

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/05/09 09:04 AM

Drew,

Great to see such a good showing of Mozzies at a regatta up your way. cool Maybe you will have the biggest fleet too. wink

Good luck to all and please send in a report after the regatta.. It's always great to see how well you clean up. grin

Regards,

Peter

That's an awesome effort. Pretty much a 100% turnout! I'm sure the other classes will wonder where all the Mozzies are coming from.

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/07/09 09:50 AM

Thanks Tim.

Unfortunately Michael had his rudders stolen off his boat and stayed in Brisbane.

3 of us have made it and raced.

See other seperate post on results.

If anyone can help with a set of mossie rudders for michael's boat it would be appreciated.

Hi all,

massive weekend. I think they said 187 boats entered. With 9 divisions.

Mossies where Div. 9 with a swarm of 24, also the largest class at the regatta, WOW grin nice to be in a growing class, most impressive thing was the performance of the youngsters, with Matt and James doing well with their kites and when the wind was up beating me upwind, also Nick and Mitch 1749 and 1747 sailing their Mossies for the first time, not only finishing the windy race upright but beating other Mossies home. Wind where mostly light, but relatively warm which was good. Results as follows.

Re: Sauna Sail - 06/08/09 12:10 PM

Sorry for the misunderstanding, it wasnt my rudders, it was my near new carbon fibre tiller extension (ive had it for about 2 months) as well as part of my tiller assembly. Not as expensive as rudders, but still very frustrating.

There are some scumbags around!!

The alternative is a piece of plain old 16mm aluminium tube. It's light, cheap and just needs rubbing with coarse sandpaper to give it grip. They also don't snap like the carbon ones.
