ZAX Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Some time back there was discussion on hosting the 2007 Maricat Nationals in Queensland. Warren has been of some assistance with this and suggests the RQ in Brisbane. Would everyone be happy to try for that venue? Since the Brisbane Catamaran Factory make both the Nacra and the Maricat, might be nice to try and hold an event together? The following is the response from Warren; "I will try and get the Maricat national titles put on our website. We will try and come to your nationals as ours are the week before in Adelaide. Everything has been going well at our end,it is good to hear that your new boat is still going well. I would suggest RQ in Brisbane for a great professional club with great facilities etc,you can camp on the grounds. Hervey Bay is a good holiday spot as well. The Maricats in Queensland are just social sailors so i could not say how many we would get ,we would support it as much as possible. The Nacras are holding there nationals at RQ that year i will send you down some costings etc,maybe we could join them together ,this might save some costs etc. Talk soon.

Humungus Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Is RQ on the river and or out in the bay? Hervey Bay would be nice but it is a lot further north. Lets get somthing firm so we can book accommodation. A joint Nationals is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolution5005 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 i went to hervey bay for the 05 A class nationals and it is an great venue though it isnt grass rigging you rig in the car park. plus a few boats got vandalised. as good as the sailing would be i think we would lose alot of numbers if we all have to travel that far. its a 15 hour trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAX Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 OK, I will try and start something happening soon for the Nationals in RQ Brisbane. I don't actually know anything about the place whether it is in the Bay or not... anyone out there know much about the place? cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam257 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 hey just for a matter of interest who would be willing to travel to QLD for the nationals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humungus2 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I'd go. Can't wait to have a different venue. It would be good for the class to move around and show it's colours. The Mrs will be happy cause she can shop some where different. Lets face it, a change is as good as a holliday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bitch Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I'd go. There'd be no complaints from 'The Bitch'. She'd be able to visit friends, shop, visit more friends and shop some more. Might even find time to relax and watch some sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAX Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I would also go. If I am able to attend a Nationals (ie. time off work) then happy to go anywhere that suits others in the class. In the past the venue for the Nationals was shared around the different States. Ideally it would be the Queensland Maricat Association organising this, but we do have support from Brisbane Catamarans the maricat builder there. Nice to have a Nationals in Tasmania one year also?

humungus2 Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hey John, any news on a QLD nationals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAX Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 I have not done much to follow up on this lately, we can discuss it at the Nationals. Maybe someone is keen to follow this up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAX Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Cannot confirm if Tony Zara will be attending the Nationals at Mannering Park on January 2nd - 6th. Can confirm that he has been sailing recently and has new Adams sail/s. A younger member of the Zara family has also been spotted sailing recently on his own boat... so hope we will see Tony and family soon ! Havoc (Geff Reid) has also been spotted recently in sloop trim.. so the sloop fleet may be on the grow along with the recent growth in the cat class ! Rumours that Darren Bundock will be back on Maricats and attending this years series in the super sloop division are also not yet confirmed !
