wildtoy Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 The 2007 sauna sail is under way and the results are in for the first 4 races with the mossie F16's proving to be a real competative boat in both div. 1 and 2. follow the link to the result pages: http://www.lvyc.org.au/results/2007/events/saunasail/series.htm Just goes to show that the mossie is still very competative no matter what people think.

CleverNickname Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 What were the conditions on the pond like? I drove past a few times and noticed that there was very little wind, sometimes even fog! Does the mossie do better in light wind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmatelot Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 what yardsticks ? seem to be vyc. pete [This message has been edited by xmatelot (edited 13 June 2007).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildtoy Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I heard that it blew up to around the 15-18knts. I think the mossies yardstick with kite is around the 79 mark not to sure. But for an old one designed boat it seems like they might be a bit competative. cheers William nswmossie.com 1635 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmatelot Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 the f16,at 71, seems a bit hard,who gave it that ? pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildtoy Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 considering a T4.9S is 73 and an F16 is meant to be quicker . But Gary's Altered was doing alright at a vys of 71. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taipansailor Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 The Yardstick of the mossie with a spi. is totally out of wack should be 76 based on sauna regatta results KEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildtoy Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Im sure after this event they will review the vys for the sp mossie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berny Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 It doesn't help that the AO F14 has a y/s of 71 Bern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becjm Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 The guys that race the mozzies with and without spi,s are Very dilligent at sending the results thru to the VYC. What handicap is the Nacra 14sq with spi? Just wondering because these boats handicaps are very close together when cat rigged.

wildtoy Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 As what myself and another person from another class were talking about a few months back, the mossie assoc. makes sure they put their results into the vyc whileevery other class is slack in doing so. If the vyc dont get results from these other classes how are they meant to change yardstick to suit. Its other classes fault if their yardstick is to high or to low. Ive noticed since joining the mossie scene that their yardstick is always coming down with the sp class. I though the AO F14 had a yardstick of 77?

xmatelot Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 the VYC can only work with the info they receive. William is correect in what he says about the Mosquito association, they send their results in regularly, and the Y/stick is adjusted as required. If ,as it appears, other classes neglect to inform the VYC of results, then the Y/stick is not really a true guide,that is why many clubs use different Y/sticks. We used to do "back caculated yardsticks" for newer classes in some regattas, but you can't please everybody, and many arguments took place. Berny is right about the F14,and also F16 being on 71, the F18 is on 70, and it is considered one of the faster cats. This discussion will go on, and on, and on for a long, long time. pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl J Barrett Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 The Yachting Victoria yardstick for the F14 is 77 not 71, and every result that has been available from every event that the Alpha F14's have competed in over the last three years has been forwarded to Yachting Victoria religiously.

xmatelot Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 hi Darryl, Thanks for the update re F14 y/s. As you point out, the VYC will update, so long as they are kept informed. pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
