Boga and Paynesville both have Easter regattas worth going to this year. Details on the VMCA calendar.

If anyone needs accommodation for the Paynesville Easter regatta, I need someone to stay at my place in Eagle Point, to look after our arthritic dog (no walking involved!), as I will be away for Easter.
Contact me if interested - 0400 666 486

Don't forget the Western Region Easter Regatta at Lake Bullen Merri, celebrating its 50th anniversary.

I'll be at Paynesville again this Easter! Ready to be beaten up by the mozzies once again!

im sorry mitch but i dont think any mossies will be sailing up there, mitch meade might, maybe Niel not sure, gary i hear has an op going on, nic has family stuff i believe, and me i go to regatta that has most mossies so i dont know

I will be heading to Paynesville with my mossie but will be staying with my parents.

Hi Guys,

we also have our annual Easter Ragatta at Lake Bonney YC. plenty of water this year. Hope some of the Adelaide guys at least can make a trip up for an excellent weekend..

There is allways Mossies at Paynesville

I will know more about, if I can sail next week after the op, if there is not too much pain Recovery by Easter should be possible as long as it's not too windy (too strenuous) . Peter N is also staying at my place, so he's sailing Paynesville.

So current count is 4 Mossies, plus 1 possible That's better than none Matt and most will have spinnakers (great for the 30 nautical mile race), but I will understand if you want to sail somewhere else , where the competition is not as tough .

hmmm, i have two minds i dont know where yet. sounds like spins are the way to go

Come on Matt, Gary has already said he will probably be injured - No better time to get one over on him.

All is fair, etc... Don't be scared

trying to convince me trev, prob you dont want me racing against u haha,

Thats right - I am better suited to be watching and laughing from a distance . The task of beating you is best left to others

Hi all,

didn't expect to be posting tonight . Surgery was scheduled for this afternoon, 8.30 this morning it was cancelled , no idea of when it may happen now . So could be fully fit and angry at Easter, watch out Matt .

doing this post to bump Easter Regatta thread , as I know my surgery is only important to me , the latest is 28th April that means all as normal for Easter and time to recover for Sauna Sail I hope .

The Easter Regatta at Gippsland Lakes YC offers something different from the normal round the buoys racing. A long distance 30nm race, which travels around most of Lake King and part of Lake Victoria, you can spend an hour on one tack in trapeze strength breeze . Also a Around Raymond Island Race, a quick dash if the wind is up that can take less than 1hr, currently Neil Joiner holds the record on a mossie .

Whats happening with the power stations for Sauna Sail Gary, will they all be going?

Going where?
It's only the freeway that's gone so far!

Only 2 were operating and the water was cooler than normal last time

... and here I was thinking that somebody else might win the Easter Regatta!!!

yeah me!!!!! im going to win,

Hey there,

Just thinking about driving down for the Paynesville regatta over easter. Like the idea of the long races and mixing it with some other mossies.

If I were, any suggestions on accommodation?

There may be 3 of us, myself, gf and daughter.

Hi Drew
You can stay at my place. I won't be here, but I think Matt might be.
