What a great regatta <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Will be working on a right up, but firstly thanks to Gordon and Jenny for organising the location, Portland Y.C. for running a great regatta and the local Taipan sailors that gave their sailing time to go in the start and rescue boats <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
David and Wendy at the Henty Bay Van and Cabin Park for the fantastic hospitality, feeding us all Friday night with the biggest chicken stew ever <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. Keep breeding those rabbits <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Any sailors that are down that way make sure you stay and talk sailing with Dave, he has plenty of spare time <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />. | | | Re: Australian F16 Event Notice

Conditions where first 5 races Sat. Flat water shifty gusty offshore wind starting at average 8 knots building to 15kts and dying out to 8 knots again. Last 3 races Sunday on shore winds with small swell and building chop, winds starting av.8 knots building to 12 knots. Nearly all races the wind was strong enough for trapezing upwind nearly all the time, for most sailors. All races windward and returns 2laps with finish times as short as 20 minutes.
Quick conclusions from the regatta from my view point are.
Starts where important with short races, fairly obvious I guess.
The best crewed boat won.
The difference in straight line speed, between different designs in the conditions was negligible.
Between 10 and 15 knots the difference between one up and two up boats is crew work.
One up and two up boats can race very closely.
Trapezing down wind, one or two up is the fastest way <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />, once wind is sufficent, aprox. 10 knots when sailing with swell and only made bigger difference as wind increased to 15 knots. One and two up boats where seen trapezing downwind, sailing 5 degrees lower and faster <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> than those sitting on the side.
Nearly every body had a look at the front at some stage, with many finishes only seconds seperated positions.
The Mossies where allways ready to show the Faster? F16's when they made a mistake, by leading around the first mark on one occasion and passing many down wind <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />.
The South Australians will be hard to beat in the future as they get more experience on F16's. Tony had never sailed a Blade before, Danny had not sailed for 2 months and still recovering from foot operation, Marcus hadn't sailed a Blade since Zandvoort. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> | | | Re: Australian F16 Event Notice

One good story from weekend I think is, I think Col Johnson, broke off a chainplate prior while rigging, these are the screw in type on the later model Taipans, Brad Hein, being a fitter, went to work, Kempe Engineering, and made a new one in half hour, screwed straight in and away they went. The Hein family (Brad, and especially his parents are always the first to jump in and lend a hand and get you going again, have done since I was a kid, sailing juniors. Great people and great friends.

Wow, looks like some excellent racing !
Nice fleet of 12, nice spread in winds, no blow-outs or drifters for a change.
Well done !

P.S. Tim, can you tell us how you made that nice table ?

Posts: 322 South Australia | Steve - no jib required....i just sailed like an old dog on the first day & managed to blow out some cobwebs on the second day.
Excellent conditions for F16 racing & boy was it tough going.
The event was clearly won by boat handling, not boat speed.
Something I need more practice at..... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
