Perth, Australia | Yet to be officially confirmed, but the next Formula 16 nationals is likely to be held at Gosford Sailing Club NSW. The dates will be 21,22,23 and 24 of January. The plan is to have a combined nationals regatta held with the Australian F18 association. This will be a great opportunity that will help to strengthen both classes for the future.
The First day of the regatta will be a marathon. Back to back Championship racing is planned for the next 3 days.
Expect to see a notice of race and entry form out by the end of July.

Brisveagas | That was a consideration HJS. I can only think of 1 person.
One advantage of this decision however is to give F16 sailors that live vast distances from Gosford the opportunity to travel with the F18s that will make the trip.
Its not quite set in concrete yet tho, so if you've got a better solution lets hear it.

Vic, Australia | 1 sailor this year.... but I do not think this is going to be the norm for the future.
The F18 is a bit of a "blokes" boat, and I think eventually there will be many sailors that elect to sail the F18 with another "Bloke" and then happily pair up with a lighter crew like their wife, girlfriend, son or daughter to sail the F16....
Maybe this is not really an issue for 2011... But I think it is an issue worth thinking about for the future.
Gosford is a wonderful site, and there are a lot of positives with working with the F18's for the year, but I would not like to see it becoming the pattern in the future.

So Helen Jane Sharrock - are you likely to be one of these sailors. Sail with Greg or Sail with Brett - could be a tough call http://www.sharrock.net.au/OpenSol/OSFamilyTr.nsf/(WebLUContent)/Tree+Climber?OpenDocument&NKey=ELIST&OSSes=2010|7|1|20|20&OSNav=Sec:1;Cat:Family;Sub:Family Tree;Lk:ln;

Central Coast NSW Australia | Gosford is a professional club and always put on a good regatta.
It's a good water way and can accommodate both fleets.
The rigging area will be tight for two fleets. I assume the F16 will take the North side of the club house and launch from their as well.
An abundance of accommodation, although it is a holiday destination and booking early would be advisable.
Sounds like a good excuse to finally finish my boat.

Melbourne, Australia | Matt - Over in the mozzy thread you guys are talking about having cut all ties with the F16 class! Wasn't this to protect your Yardstick? You may want to talk to Gary before attending :P

Adelaide, South Australia | Hey mitch. Doesn't matter what Gary says. Mossies, taipans and cobras are all welcome. This is going to be an awesome event. Can't wait. (maybe you could slip the stingracorn into the f18 line up and stir them up)

Melbourne, Australia | That would be a bit of fun Simon! As long as they don't make me carry 50kg worth of corrector weights!

Western Australia | MitchB the Mozzie sails without additional corrector weights. Apart from corrector weights as required by the Mozzie rules to make a boat up to class weight.
Im not sure the Cobra is a foundation class but could well fit inside F16 rules. If it does then you need a boat that conforms to the Cobra rules.
