Emmessee Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 From past experience, I am sure there will be quite a few sailing sloop, especially the younger ones. I think I qualify for the sloop class without having a crew as I think that being the lard ass that I am I qualify. Is that legal??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmessee Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 108kg's is the combined crew weight of Class B which is the sloop class. If a person in full sailing clobber was over 108 kg's, can they then compete in that class??? To sail in class B do you have to have two onboard to qualify or can you go it alone? This is an interesting thought. If so, I would consider racing in Class B and not C if the winds are going to be light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet16 Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Does anyone know if we would get to sail in the outside or just the river at Port? Would be nice to at least have some of the races away from the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackFriday Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Hi all, does anyone have a M 5.0, if so are you going to sail at the nationals, Just trying to see how many M 5.0's will be there if there will be a class or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmessee Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 So far the Maricat site says that we will be racing in the river, which is pretty good most of the time, but it is absolutley sensational when you head out to the open for some wave sailing as well. I often head outside for a play. I hope we can get at least one race out there as it is a heap of fun in the swell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet16 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Maybe at least run the invitation race outside if there is some compelling reason why we have to sail in the river for other races? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmessee Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I do not think so. I prefer sailing outside as it is a steady breeze and you also avoid the massive current that can flow when the tide is running. You can be out on the wire on a screaming reach, but if against the tide, you will be standing still, spray going everywhere and you think you are moving, but your not. It is a strange experience. Outside it is great off Port, so maybe when we are there we can ask the committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAX Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 I know of at least one other that will be attending. Met with the skipper of Black Friday (No 13) at Toukley Sailing Club on the weekend and he is intending to be at the Nationals. So I suspect you will have a fleet there.
