jheap Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hope you Nacra 4.5's can make it to Ballina this weekend. 16th and 17th February. Long race up the river and back - briefing at 12.30pm. Dinner in the club for $12.00 per adult. 2 races on Sunday. Caravan park across the road and motels about and some members have spare beds if needed. Hope to see you there- everyone welcome. We need some more competition for the Nacra 5.8's as well... .. We have to show those NS14 sailors that we can rustle up a crowd too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleverNickname Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Count me in! I'll be there on my Nacra 4.5 'The Other Woman'. I'm going first class and booked into the ramada. Looking forward to competing with some other 4.5s. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsailor.net Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Have a look at the home page (towards the bottom) of catsailor.net and look at the conditions the Optis are sailing in... I will never be afraid again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleverNickname Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks to all the crew at Ballina for the warm hostpitality and fierce competition. You guys through everything at me including strong winds, tidal flow, sand banks and cable ferries. But in the end I was beaten by some talented Nacra 4.5 sailors. Maybe next team I can challenge you on home turf (moreton bay or southport). Are you guys attending the NSW state titles in March? I'll be there on Barry's F18.
