As long as I can find a boat I will be there.

Saw the pics Garry, pretty amazing sequence!!!

Hopefully we will see you at Rye!!!

Matt will be there. I'll be there on one of the days due to work commitments.

Tim S (still in UK) said he should be able to make it.

I can't believe you guys don't check "MY" diary before booking things.... really!!

Couldn't have picked a worse weekend for me. but I shall endeavour to shuffle and make at least one of the days.... that's just the committed sort of bloke I am

Hope to have resurrected Thrice in time see what happens
But don't forget, all Mossies are welcome, even if you don't have a spinnaker . A great chance for Vics to warm up for Nats.

Keep a eye on the web page for the Sailing Instructions// should be up shortly……………..
Ryes a great place to sail and we want as many boat as possible even if your not sailing with a spinnaker come on down and sail in the club race sunday afternoon 2 races back to back.

Hi All,

I'll obviously second Gordon's note.

It looks like we will have a full compliment of volunteers for the Sat and Sun with the canteen operating and the upper deck is one of the best places on the bay to watch the racing and socialise, the rigging area is great and the beach really nice too. There will likely be a BBQ operating for dinner on Sat night and there is a beer fridge with the "honesty box" operating for the thirsty souls.

This Sunday looks like being great conditions at the club as well so a warm up could be in order ???? There are two races on Sunday with the first starting at 1330hrs.

Really looking forward to seeing as many Mossies as possible at the club on the 14/15th as possible (those without kites too!!!!) to show off a great class.

Wish I could be there. Enjoy the really great venue and I hope the weather is kind.

So who is coming :-)??

I'll be there. I hope the weather is as good as last Sunday with long hull flying runs under spinnaker

I can't do the Saturday but I'll sail up on Sunday morning and meet you at the start. If one of you Rye gentleman could email me an entry form, I'll email it back prior to the weekend.

Hate to win and get protested for not being a valid entry! (Gary, that's laughing myself sick!)

See you on the water for those coming.

Cheers

Thats OK Simon, as long as your'e not laughing yourself silly .

So question for anybody that knows, what is the set up at Rye? If I get down on Friday, can you get access to the rigging area? Is there a overnight lock up area? etc. I have alot of rigging up to do still with this boat.

Gary,
If you get in contact with Gordon he should be able to let you in or organise someone who will let you into the yard. There are external power points for work and video cameras for surveillance overnight, so should be pretty safe there. If you are really lucky Gordon will hang around chewing your ear off as he drinks and watches you work. He is an old hand at watching others work now.
His place is also a short walk away if you need tools or a bench.

You can also leave your trailer locked up in the car park if you have a tow ball lock. There are gates so you can back it into the yard to unload, but the trailers have to be taken out again when you are finished.
There is an honesty fridge for beer or space for your own, and Gordons key will also get you into toilets and showers. Give me or Gordon a call if you have any further questions/queries.
Luke.

PS. Sailing on Lake Macquarie the average temperature each day is about 28. Just saying.

Funny you should say that Luke , after the McCrae Cat Champs, can't belive the forecast this weekend , looks like the Peninsula is turning it on again, the cold weather and showers that is .

Has been warmer and dryer here also .
