I couldn't get the link to work or find the page manually.
Is it an open class regatta, will there be a woodenboat assoc. presence.
And just how big is it?

I'll be seeing if it fits in with Midge's crazy schedule. I can fly up in time, but there is probably a bit to do on the boats and spending 3 days sailing is a big bite on resources.
We'll talk it over.

onthebeachalone 29th January 2007, 09:56 AM Most enjoyable regatta at lake Cootharaba. Smallest participants would have been Minnows (2.4m). LCSC seems to have quite a fleet of them. Longest would have been the 10m Bolger folding schooner, that my wife and I were crewing on. Fastest would have been A Class catamarans :aro-r: :aro-r: :aro-r: :aro-r: :aro-r: :aro-r:. Wow!
Probably the most numerous were MGs and there was a wide range of other entrants including Hartley 16s... you name it!
Slept well last night :cool:
Puddleducks would have been right up there...:2tsup:
bitingmidge 29th January 2007, 10:12 AM Puddleducks would have been right up there...:2tsup:
No doubt! :( But we do have two yellow ones now, and a trailer that nearly works! :D :D :D
Maybe next year we'll have a whole fleet of them!
Dont' worry, the pain and stiffness will go away just in time to do it all over again!
cheers,
