We were told at the weekend it is the 4th Jan to 11 Jan.
The first two days will probably be for the boats with spinnakers.

Hi all. Tim is correct with the dates was planning in posting on here but have be rather busy.

Spinnaker nationals will be the 4th and 5th jan.
nationals will be 5th till 11th. The 5th will be measuring day 1.

Program with more detail will be out after our next sa committee meeting.

Hi all,

It seems that it's time to start doing something about accom for Nats, unless you want to miss out (apparently it does get booked out). As seen at the start of this thread Peter N has booked, in a cabin I think.

Garry J has asked me to post the following info "I have booked my site at the yacht club end of the park, and asked them to keep that unpowered area for Mossies, they said they would. I forgot to let everyone know, too much going on. There is a powered area next to the unpowered area, some may like power, these areas are a bit of a distance from the toilets, but was good last time we were there, a push bike is handy. It was good all being camped together, apart from the cabin dwellers, mention you are part of the Mossie swarm when booking."

Contact details are.

Hi all,

well I'm booked in now, near the toilet block, well away from the grumpy old men. So looks like Mossies will be spread all over the place, no sites left along the shore, and not alot of others, so you had better hurry up and get booked in if you aren't already.

If there are any Croweaters lurking, how many and what eateries are in town, in other words, will we have to cook ourselves or are there eating out/ take away options?

I have a great photo of exactly this spot we are talking about if only I could work out how to paste a bloody image here...

There's about 3 take away food joints a pub and two super markets plus a bottle shop. They've had a heads up so should stock up on everything. Murray Bridge about 80km drive is a big regional centre with everything you need and Adelaide is less than an hour from there. I've been busy getting my couple of Mozzy's ready for the Lake Eyre regatta at Lake Hope and will probably see you at the Nats.

I've booked my spot in the 'grumpy old men' area and will be doing my bit to sustain the levels of grumpiness.

"Just leave your shoes at the front door"

Just recieved an email from Lake Albert Caravan park, cabins and powered sites are booking out quickly for Jan 2014, so if you have not booked you had better get a move on.
when you book tell them you are one of the Mosquito sailors, they are holding a couple of cabins until the end of Sept for us.Their Ph No is 0885751411

Hi guys,
Around about when can we expect to see NOR for the Nats?
(and for the SA states for that matter?)

Cheers,

I understand the NOR is out, any chance you can send one to Meningie Sailing Club

im onto it Jeff just alot of other stuff happening.

Hi Hack, States NOR is up on the website: http://www.theracingcat.com/uploads/MCASA%202013-14%20State%20Championships%20NOR.pdf

Yep! Got it thanks!
It seems that I have to have my boat re measured since it's changed states and hasn't been measured for a while. It's not on the list on the webpage. I've organised this for State Title weekend (Thanks Peter!) then will be able to nominate.
