This is bad news as PBSC is also hosting the Bullets Regatta on these dates which is almost Identical in every way as its also open to all classes and dinner is organised.
I guess its one or the other but I am sure both will have reasonable fleets... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, it is a shame we so often have regattas clash as I would go to either. Earlier in the year I supported the PBSC Heart Starter regatta so will support PKSC on that weekend.

PBSC is predomiantly a Hobie Club and the Bullets regatta will see mainly H16s, H17s and possibly a couple of A Class.

PKSC should have Taipan (States), F18s, Nacra 5.8s, A Class, 14 footers as well as various monos, skiffs and trailerable Yachts.

They are mainly Hobie cats but the other classes are creeping in and growing and the A class group is quite large now. They also mentioned the F18 Class invite in there rundown to prepare for the F18 Worlds...

I am going to attend this one.
The deciding factor was the 1 hour extra sleep in.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Its also a good opportunity for the non Hobie sailors who have never sailed at PBSC to sus it out...

Good luck at the Bullets. I am an ex member of that club before I moved to Kurnell and Pittwater is a nice place to sail.

Obviously I will be heading down to Port Kembla this time as I previously supported PBSC this year and would like to support PKSC as they do for us.

It is also our State Championships and we will likely see the large Majority of Sydney F18s and other spinnaker cats head down to Port Kembla along with a good fleet of 14 footers.

Looks like we will have a strong fleet of F18, Taipan and mix at this regatta.
