humungus2 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 The Maricats are doing well. Phil very trying but not doing his boat justice because he is a loser, But The big Mick is a winner. Poor old Rodney is a sad excuse for a SS sailor because even phil flogged him. Zak is doing great. He has got to be the champion on the series. He is ailing a maircat with A heap of shit sail and still winning. maybe Rodney will have some confidence and let Zac sail a good set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointed Reply Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 The Fat Boy won 4 out of 6. The new Pointed Reply managed to win the two light wind races but is still struggling with the Redhead sail stronger wind. Zac sailed the 6 junior races sailing the "old" Pointed Reply with the Arafura rig....one more step. But we all got beaten by two Paper Tigers led by Ian Marko.

humungus2 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 With a yardstick of 88 for the Maricat SS which should be 90 and the paper tiger 91.5, I reckon I had no chance of putting 3.5 minutes on the PT's. I just hope that the results get sent to Koonawara for consideration. The world and Ausie best on the PT's and the State and Ausie best on the Mari SS this should be a good gauge. New Maricater Neil learnt a lot over the weekend and is keen to get more experience on the water before the season starts. Well done to every one who turned up to brave the cold Brass Monkey. The series was run to perfection so well done to the Toukley Sailing Club for a great regatta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Stop dreaming Mick, the weather did not suit Mari s/s, if you are not on the wire every upwind leg they will not sail to Y/stick, if you had been sailing cat rig you may have given them a run, overall a great regatta, good mixed fleet, good weather, nearly enough wind.

Pointed Reply Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Too much wind in Sunday !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humungus2 Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I reckon there was only one leg out of the whole series that I could have gone out on trap. I will admit that a lighter sailor on trap, like Rodney may have had a advantage over me but I stress MAY HAVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoSport260 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Mick, Lets not forget that the old vyc y/s was 88, as referenced in here some year an a bit ago. You complain of needing to put 3.5mins on the PT's yet us on Windrush S/S need to put a further .5min on that. As Darcy says unless your in trapezing weather you've got buckleys. Its been the same with us on windy s/s for longer than anyone cares to remember. Learn to deal with it, because its not about to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humungus2 Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Well Michael, I guess I will just have to build a bridge. At least now I have something to work towards. Are you going to the Manno 14' Regatta or are of of sailing a mono hull somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humungus2 Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Your jokeing right. That dainty little thing that was at Toukley was a fun thing to watch but you couldn't be serious about racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
