Hi all,

as you may have seen on the VMCA site, the Victorian Cat Champs are on at Gippsland Lakes Yacht Club, October 30-31st.

Can guarantee a fleet of competitive Mosquito's making good practice for the States at GLYC next March .

But there will also be some stiff competion from other classes, with a Multiple World Title holder and Olympic representative attending .

So pencil it in your calendar, the opportunity to sail against some of the best sailors in the world doesn't come along very often .

Oh... and I'm coming too

Who else is going?

I am planning on it at the moment.

im going

Hi All,

Here is the NOR www.sailglyc.com/tmp/2010_VCC_NOR.pdf

Bump!!

so we have the Gippsland lads plus 2 and a maybe!!

Anyone else decided to go... as Gary says, excellent practise for the states.

Still planning on it, work travel permitting.

"Gippsland Lads" ofcourse will include me

I'm working on it on a boat that will not be mentioned on a mosquito forum, plus 1 more glyc mozzie from the house of emonson.

Can timber boats sail? No. Too far to travel anyway!

Of course all cats are welcome, we have a number of local timber Mossies.

It is a long way for S.A. boats , although I believe it is about the same distance as Gippsland boats have travelled to sail in S.A. .

Hi all,

looks like a big "Melbourne Cup" weekend coming up in Paynesville .

Heaps happening, along with the sailing, club will be open for meals Friday Night, good menu all under $20, curries the specialty (should help with the wind for sailing ). Also local school fete Saturday and foreshore market Sunday, so family and friends should find something to keep them amused, while we enjoy the 15 knots forecast.

Looks like no rock stars will be attending , so us weekend warriors have a chance at being Yachting Victoria's Catamaran Champion . See you at the club.

hmmm, dave hart is going!!! so one rockstar is comming

Hi Matt,

I think Dave wouldn't mind if I said he was more of a retired Rock Star.

Do you know what he is going to sail?

yeah he is sailing his a class

forecast is picking up a wee bit you old fella's might be saved some embarassment after all. but seriously I CAN"T WAIT!

Don't tell me you young fellas are waiving the white flag already .

Hi all,

If you are coming from Melbourne and beyond, I would be heading this way ASAP, to get away from the floods , forecast is maybe showers and thunderstoms for the East of the state, still 27 degrees Saturday and 15knots, just doesn't get any better, but of course it's like that every day on the lakes

And remember, anyone who needs somewhere to pitch a tent, there's free camping at my place (Eagle Point just up the road from Paynesville). Call me on 0400 666 486 for directions.
