this looks like being one of the biggest entries in a nationals for some time with a good spread over all divisions.
GET your entries in so we can confirm numbers with the club and suppliers

latest entries in the nationals now sit at 36 boats shaping up to be a great regatta

I do believe Cats are the most represented division at the moment :-)

What do you know that is not on the entry list? I only count 32

So they should be with all those guy's leaving their spinnakers in their sailboxes. I hope they don't get sad when the spinnakers blast past on the returns all week

But don't worry they can allways change their division when they see the forecast.

Maybe a new nickname for the skipper of the most pranked Mossie in the fleet. Trevor the Trophy Hunter? Surely he can't go without the spinnaker again?

But over on Facebook Mark has come up with "Trophy Toy" looks like a winner to me

Whilst thinking of Trophies and the Nats.

For those that where lucky enough to take a Perpetual Trophy home last Nats,don't forget to get them engraved and bring them along or organise somebody to bring them for you. From past experience it can be expensive and or embarrasing if you forget

Winners that come to mind are Peter Dunk, Mark Pfennig, Peter Nikitin, Sarah Floyd and Tom Luitjes.

Exactly what I plan on doing Garry

we have 36 because several don't appear on the auto sign in section of the web page as they have not done nationals / states before... still at 36 boats with a hope for one or two more.. so far 17 cats 10 sloops and 9 spinnakers

Awesome didn't think of that, now to find a few people that aren't coming to lend their boats and get a few more spinnakers out of sail boxes.

I am sure Tim could fix that so that we can see all of the entries.

I think Tim might be busy doing all that stuff he hasn't been able to do for the last few months whilst in England (even looked like a Pom last weekend white as )

There will be plenty of entry changes to come yet, so I think we will just have to be patient and wait until the 28th to see how it all washes up, but 36 boats + is now a realistic goal and fantastic for the class (does anybody know when Mossie last had that sort of number?) best I can see since 1999-2000 is 34 at Portarlington in 2010-11

Interesting to look at entry number in that time period, you can see the class has been building

One definite change I can announce is that Robbie Lovig will now be sailing in the Spinnaker division on Ian's boat 1805 (so thats one less Mk1 but one extra spinnaker ) thanks very much to Ian (Garb) for being so generous .

But please don't let my enthusiasm for the Spinnaker class, upset anybody. All that matters is that we get lots of Mossies on the water with people sailing them however the enjoy them 36 boats or more would be fantastic , remember there are still experienced cat sailors looking to borrow Mossie's, so beg borrow or steal any Mossie's that aren't being used and let us know they are available.

Hey there,

1816 is sitting on its trailer in Brisbane.

The bloke who drives it will be away otherwise he would be driving down to sail this year.

If someone wants to come and get it to sail, I could be OK with that.

Apologies for the distance involved.

where are all the western district mossies we have already 11 spinnaker, 12 sloops and 14 cat rigged with trophies for older timber boats.. not too late to enter

Wow thanks for the offer Drew, very generous of you, the other Lake Boga guy's are still spewing you got that boat.

Is there anybody coming from QLD that can double up?

By the way looks like 37 entries and climbing.

Hi,

Will check with Nic and Brett about doubling, not sure if their trailers are set up though.

Sort of guessed when Matt said it was for sale if I did not grab it straight away it would be gone within the week.

Had heard a few rumblings from Phil when I collected it.

Wondered if I would make it out of town.....

Single trailer here sorry guys.

Only 12 Sloops so far? Pfffff... that's pretty poor but I'm sure we can get to 15.

hi all
dave and i are allready double up our trailer

It's all happening this is going to be the biggest Mosquito Nats for at least 16 years.

Robbie and Michelle have both been loaned Spinnaker Mossie's, so it will be interesting to see how they go adapting from the Olympic Nacra 17.

Then a old/young Mossie sailor is making a comeback, Mitchell Meade (ex 1747) has just bought Spin Mossie (Faye Hulls) 1750 (originaly a Bob Wilson "Bonnie").

The Spin fleet is really hotting up could be 13.
