Hi Guys,

The Sail Sandy regatta will be held on October 18 & 19 at Sandringham Yacht Club. For many years, it has traditionally been a monohull regatta. I have contacted the club, and this year they have decided they will be inviting cats too. (The amendment is to be released in the next few days).

We need at least 6 boats to enter to make this happen.
Here is the event website: http://www.syc.com.au/regattas/sail-sandy-2014/
Note: the ammendment has not yet been posted.

Who is interested? We already have 3 - Matt, Daniel & I.

Regards,
Tash

I heard the Viper's are already invited! more the merrier!

That's right - I thought, if they can be invited, why can't we!

mark me down as a possible, will depend on if I'm in Tassie still or not , and if Karp is finished

Which end of the state are you going to be in?

Hey its not a big enough state to have ends, surely you just all get your heads together anytime

But seriously, I might make it to Sandy if we have room to rig up and it's not too expensive You guy's sure you want to sail with spinnaker? Allways seems to be a windy weekend and the seastate is a challenge in that area on its own

At this stage we would like to do kite but we can make a decision on the day. Entry is quite cheap I've heard.

there's an end


Devonport.....

Smithton......

Tullah........

Tarraleah.....

Georgetown....

St Marys......

Orford........

Port Arthur...

Hobart........


well that's the plan at this stage

Well if you find yourself in Hobart on a Sunday come down and say hello! even take you for a spin!

Spinnaker for sure, if we can, it would be a great place to advertise the mosquito, especially if the vipers are going to be there

I'm keen if I'm not away......I'll see if Doug on 1747 is interested.....

The amendment has been posted. Lets get some entries in!

What is the cost? I see cats will be located at Hampton club next door, will we be using their facilities as well?

Cats will be based at the beach beside Hampton and sandy yacht clubs (this is a much bigger launching area), and storage overnight will be decided closer to the time. Most likely we will store the boats in the maintainance yard which is secure.

Sandy has change rooms and showers in two different areas, plenty of space.
Cost is $55 if you enter before the cut off date - Oct, otherwise its the standard $70. You don't have to pay yet though, just get your name down on the entry list!

Sail Sandy will be a great opportunity to show that the mosquito is alive and kicking, we want to promote the class at this regatta as it will have sailors that will be moving out of junior classes and looking at boats that offer a challenge and provide excitement.. what better place to showcase mosquitos as a stepping stone to the olympic nacra17
So if at all possible we want YOU…

I'm entered

I'm entered, there are 4 entered so far, need another 2.
Other than showcasing the boats it will be a good chance to get everyone together and racing b4 nationals, soo get ur entries in guys

I'm presuming you girls and boys are sailing Mk1 with Spin?

well we have to be fair, if non spin boats turn up we will sail without kite as we need numbers 6 or more, unless we have 6 non spin and 6 spin no problem. I will decide on the day what i will be sailing. Depends on how many boats and wind factor. i perfer to sail with kite.
