Mozzies vs Blade

I found this movie file that Wouter posted.

If the web link just takes you to the video listing it's down the page a bit.

Check out the Mozzies towards the end of the clip. Does anyone know where this movie was taken and who are the Mozzies ? Could possibly be in Sth Aust.

Pete,
I shot the movie. It was in South Ausralia.
It was a distance race from Goolwa to Milang.

The mossies were filmed sailing down the river into lake Alexandrina.

Sorry I was only there for the day and don't know the Mossie sailors.

Regards,
Phill

The white MK2(1735) is Rick Tuohy, the red Mk1 I'm not sure who, cant see it on the results. http://www.gryc.com.au/MG/Results/Results%20Final%20Correction190205.HTM

If it was the last Goolwa/Milang I do recall Andrew De-Laines Go-Nads being there. Andrew can confirm obviously. I will check the video when I get home as I am now at work and dont want to download 21meg here.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Just checked out the video.. awesome.
The red mozzie is Andrew DeLaine, Go-Nads 1734...

You just can't get away with anything these days, go for a quiet sail & get shot with a video...
Great footage Phill.
I can thoroughly recommend the race if anyone is thinking of going next year, February.- Downhill most of the way, great way to see the River Murray & Lake Alexandrina. We took 3 Mozzies from Barmera, the others were in front of me when the video was taken- they finished 1st & 2nd MkII Mozzies home, even after a quick swim. I had to settle for 1st. MkI over the line.

Cheers

No you can't get away... I have entered the last two Goolwa-Milang Classics. The 2005 was light and uphill to the lake and hard work and slow.. The last one 2006 was as you said downhill and heaps of fun. I will be entering my mozzie in the next one and I may even try to coax a few of the Christies boys into joining in.

Well done on first place...

Makes me want to get a spinnaker!!!

Andrew,
Sorry about that.
#Looks like a great race.
I'd like to do it on a Blade f16 some time.

Hi all,

just remember under spinnaker a Mossie would be going nearly as fast, again they proved it at the recent Sauna Sail, passing F18's at times downwind. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That's what keeps Tim and Neil so excited and the grin on Philip Warren Smiths face was almost impossible to wipe off after a couple of the races, specialy as he passed me on "Altered" (upside down), of course the Gods payed him back as he to ended up upside down. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Go Spinnaker it will be the ride of your life almost every time you go out.
