275 has gone to Rob Collins.

Here's the latest revision of the Mosquito register.

1727 broke up. Its hulls are landfill and the rig and beams are reincarnated on F16 hulls.

Nick,

Thanks for that. I'll make a note in the register. Which tip did it end up in ? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

G,day Peter

1724 now belongs to me [ Karl Herman ]. I swapped 687
to Geoff plus cash. I believe Geoff has since sold 687.
I'll be sailing 1724 at Mannering Park sailing club at Lake Macquarie NSW. Renaming boat St Elmo 2.

See-ya
Karl.

Hi All

Can you add 1680 to the register please
Im new to this forum and sailing. I (Mark Judkins) purchased 1680 in February 2008. I'm sailing her at Port Melbourne Yacht Club.

1023 "Bulldog" has been sailing at Altona this year with G Caines at the helm.

Mark,

Welcome to the swarm. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I will add you and your fine machine to the register. What is the name of your Mozzie ?

How many races have you been in at Port Melbourne?

Pretty tough with a benchmark like Bob Wilson at the club however I'm pretty sure that he would be most helpful with advice.

Regards,

Peter

Hi smc,

Good to see more Mozzies out at Altona again. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I have put it in the register. Do you know Mr Caines first name for the register ?

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter

1680 doesn't have a name as yet. I guess I should come up with something by next sailing season. As far as racing goes I haven't entered any races. I've been getting the feel for sailing / capsizing and just lurking on the sidelines observing. Im still not comfortable out on trapeze but I guess that will come with practice. I intend to start joining in the races when sailing season starts again in October I think. I'm very aware that with my current skill level I will be lucky to finish a race within the required time period let alone challnge anyone.

Mark,

Checking rudder alignment goes a long way to getting good boat speed from the very start. At least if you have that right then you only have to work on sail settings and your own skills. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The fist race should be in light winds so you don't have to get out on trapeze and can keep your weight as far forward as possible to keep the transom from digging in and slowing you down. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Once you master getting out on trapeze with the mainsheet in one hand and the tiller extension in the other there will be no holding you back.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter

I have sail numbers 98 and 477, home built, currently stored in the roof - are these the lowest in your register!?

James Harvey

James,
Nice to see some of the owners of the older boats are now having them added to the register but the oldest on the register....not a chance, I owned 69 and I think you wwill find it hard to get below No 1, owned, built and sailed by Neil Fowler in Darwin, yes, the same guy who designed the boat we enjoy.

Enjoy,

David

James,

Welcome to the swarm. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> As David says we go back to Mozzie No. 1 but there's only 5 listed before your No. 98. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Do you have any more details of the Mozzies history for the register eg. boat names, build dates, how long they've been in the roof, where they were sailed, original owner ?

Any shred of history would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Not much info but 519 "Fansidar" was sailed by my brother Marc Clavin out of Mt Martha about 20 years ago. He can't remember who he bought it from or who he sold it to.

Cheers

Peter,

Suddenly made me feel old, especially as I sailed with a lot of the early boats and 2/3 digit numbers were common. My youngest son worked out how many years around these things, that was scarey.

I am still working o the Darwin/NT boats, the NTMCA records were destroyed when the assoc folded there but slowly chasing the boats up.

David

Hi All. Time for an updated register listing. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Right click on the attachment and save it with a .xls file extension then open it from EXEL as a spreadsheet. I hope it works. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Just found the boat register,I've had 1743 for about 18 months now.She's having paint and tidy up ready for next year as we speak.

Simon,

Welcome to the swarm. Hope you enjoy the Mozzie as much as the rest of us. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Do you have any more details ? Club, boat name if changed etc. You can send me a personal message if you don't want to go public. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I shall publish the listing again before the start of the season.

Regards,

Peter

Sailing from Normanville, the boat is still called
Phat Cat as it very appropriate.
