Hi all,

If you want to take the family to the Grampians for a holiday, you could attend the Stawell Regatta the 1st weekend in Feb 2014. there should be a few Mosquitos there. I know of one so far, there is normally a few.

I'll have her in the water within the next 2 weeks.

All that's a major left to do is to finish the rudders lockdown system, which is basically done now except for adding the resin...... step the mast and rig her on dry land and do a full check over....

& then ...

Get on the water


so with any sort of luck but also without cross my heart n hope to die promises....


yeah I hope to be @ Stawell, cant see any reason as to why I cant be there....... touch wood (try that with a carbon boat )

Morning all,

Some of you may have heard that there was a fire in the Grampians that had people evacuating homes at Lake fyans, Halls Gap and a few other areas, by all accounts the fire is under control, people are returning to their homes and Stawell will be right to run the regatta!

Hi Al,

If you could round up all the Derrinallum Mossies, there would be a class.

Looks like there will be fleets of Mosquitos, Taipan's, impulse's,and minnow's (good to see kids coming through). at Lake Fyans (Stawell)would be great if the Mossie's could out number the Tiapan's so if you are thinking of attending there is on site camping and it will be full catered, what more could you want.

HOW QUICKLY THINGS CHANGE:
Hi All, Please read important - Stawell Yacht Club Regatta set for this weekend the 1st and 2nd February, has been postponed. Due to continued high temperatures forecast for this weekend and a CFA warning advice of active but controlled fires in the region.

The Regatta will now take place on the 22nd and 23rd March 2014.

Concerns with health and safety of competitors and voluteers were taken into account before this decision was made.

Another factor that has influenced this decision is that a number of local and visiting club members are landowners and voluteer in the CFA and other emergency services and maybe called upon at any given time.

The committee of the Stawell Yacht Club and Yachting Western Victoria apologise for any inconvience caused by this decision, that may have planned to attend from the region and Melbourne.

Personally - This decision has been made with the best interests in mind of everyone involved, and can fully understand the reasons in doing so. Although there is no threat of active fire in the area, there are concerns within the Grampians. So please support the Stawell Yacht Club in their decision, and if possible amend your sailing calenders for the 22nd and 23rd March 2014.

Thanks Ross,

After lengthy disussions last night with the Stawell Commodore, the Stawell Yacht Club committee, this morning made the decision to postpone until the weekend of March 22nd and 23rd.

The decision was made, taking into consideration, the health and safety of all involved, and while there is no direct threat to the Lake Fyans area currently, it was felt the mixture of high tempertures and (contained) fires in the Grampians area, this would ultimately be the best decision.

As there is no regional regatta set for the month of March, the Yachting Western Victoria committee will promote the alternative weekend and have requested clubs in our region alter their sailing programs to suit.

Again SYC and YWV apologise for any inconvience caused by this decision, but hope all support the regatta in March, as obviously some things in life are unavoidable.

Matt - YWV Pres.

No need for an apology in my books ..... it's a damn SMART decision under the circumstances !!!

see ya in March

Just a reminder this Regatta is on 22nd and 23rd of March,

2014 Stawell Regatta

The Stawell Yacht Club will be holding its 2014 Regatta on the 22nd & 23rd of March. The Regatta was to be held in early February but was postponed due to extreme heat and fire concerns in the Grampian's region.

A copy of the Notice of Race can be found on the ‘Regatta’ page of our Yachting Australia sponsored website which can be accessed by using the following web address. www.syc.yachting.org.au.

Now there is no excuse for not going to this regatta, the family can go to the Halls Gap zoo for free "gold coin donation to the local CFA & SES" compliments of Stawell Toyota click for details https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stawell-Toyota-Kia/495255677234067 and you get to sail!

The weather is looking promising for the weekend, no the sign of the 40 deg C, in February that caused the rescheduling of this regatta.
