tackless Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Is there any interest from Nacra 5.0 sailors to form a fleet at the next nationals in W.A Our fleet numbers have not been that impressive of late and this is a great boat to let fade away from the racing scene. I would travel to W.A ( boat in container of course) if we could put a fleet together. Any interest or thoughts !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surf city Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi Tackless. If you get 5 confirmed starters then count me in as number 6 STEVE #2203. WHERE DO YOU SAIL?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackless Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Cleveland sailing club. We have several 5.0's, 5.8's, 16 squares and hobie 16's. Great fun club to sail at without getting to serious. We welcome all sailors and of any ability. I'm very keen to help rebuild the 5.0 fleet (as well as our club numbers)so we can compete regularly at nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tackless Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I would of except one forgot to request the weekend off !! Several of our club boats will be there. Talk to the other 5.0's and see if there is any interest for the nationals. We may come down and have the odd race with u guys. I always enjoyed the SYC.

Interceptor Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hey guys I got a telephone call from Ross Margetts this morning informing me he is back from his self imposed exile and is going to WA. I am almost definite to go over (will have to see what Mick is doing). If Goose is watching will you drop me a line (or give me a ring) because the missus is keen to arrange accommodation and flights now (and therefore so am I). What about them Neeskins? Write and let us know. Love always Bucko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackless Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 It maybe easier to email me at cjmk1@bigpond.com so we can collect a database of nacra 5.0 sailors and that way we can communicate to each other and see if we can build this 5.0 fleet. I believe there maybe enough interest if we promote the nationals within the 5.0 fraternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interceptor Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Tackless Mick and I sail a 5.0 (with spin) at SYC. We sailed the Peel Island Marathon last year (boat named Rhumb Chums). I remember some dudes coming up to us and talking 5.0s, maybe you were one of them? Anyhoo, I will drop you an email. I will also ask Graham Hiles (who promotes the Multihulls at SYC) to put you on the SYC email list if you like. Good onya Bucko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackless Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 So far it appears Steve (2203) and myself (2106) would be definite starters if we can muster at least 4 more. Interceptor are u interested in the nationals? Thankyou to the NSW Nacra's for the invitation to the States. Are there any 5.0's racing in NSW and if so how can we contact them. Finally could someone please pass my email onto the Neesken Duo in Hervay Bay (spelling maybe wrong)(cjmk1@bigpond.com) as I know their keen 5.0 sailors and let them know we are trying to gather support for W.A Nationals.

surf city Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Mick and Warren are taking deposits for spots in the container to Bunbury.Around $600.00 per boat return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Tackless Yes I am interested in going to the Nationals. The sail # for Rhumb Chums is 2206. There is another fellow at SYC who I think might be mad enough to come over (Scott & Tom Jones on Black Dog - can't remember the sail #). There are two other regulars (5.0s) sailing with us at SYC who are reasonably competative and I will nag them to come along this weekend. I think that the Inner Circle Rum Regatta is on the same weekend as the NSW States so I will be heading North that weekend. I expect Steve and Scott may come with us (they came up for the states) and the Neeskins will definitely be there. You should come for the drive, Tackless. For the 5.8 dudes, I spoke to Morrie on the Rogue Efluent and he indicated a preference for Bundaberg. Love and kisses Bucko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackless Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 So far interested 5.0 sailors are: 2206....2203.....2106......Its a start. Will see how much interest we can gain over the next month. Looking forward to racing at Southport one day soon. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yachty Boy Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Include another 1 maybe 2 local WA boats and you've almost got your self a class. We are working hard to track down as many local boats as possible. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacra-maricat australia Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hi Guys you will need top book your spots on container soon. Had a few more people. We can only do 20 at the max 18 is allot easier. So contact Warren or Michael Guinea to pay your deposit, Ross has said that he will sail a 5.0 if need be to make numbers up so that is another one,so i would say you will get a class.

Magic Marine WA Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Full details of WA Nationals just posted on Goosemarine.com.au until we can have them migrated across to the Nacra.com.au WA page in a couple of days. Numbers already looking good, for what will be a great social event, so Dont come alone this year, Bring the misses, kids etc. If you are doing it by road then bring another boat on top. 30th year, It all started in WA so lets make this one a big one. Something different will be the yardstick event on the 2nd of January to resolve it once and for all, which class is the fastest. Many prizes to be won. To be run close to the beach, for maximum spectator and media value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Marine WA Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hi Guys. First official nomination already received from Steve and Kerry on 2210. Bucko also has accommodation booked. Appears Roscoe may also be on a 5.0 Space is still available in the Container leaving brisbane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackless Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I applied for leave and was rejected. Quite disheartened. Unfortunately the Xmas period is very busy in our industry and they only grant leave to about 7 percent of the employees. Max and I were very keen and hopefully we can make the 2010 Nationals. Good luck to all those competing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
