knobblyoldjimbo Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 22nd 23rd January 2011 Odd really where nobody pushes regatta's, I've noticed it in other places too. Very much looking forward to it, if the weather is like today it'll be near perfect, just went over to Manno and the breeze was very nice, SE I think with a few whitecaps to blow away the naughties. Sun in full force, must be about 30. Just waiting for the heat to dissipate before I set about repairing boats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korwich Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 So if the wids are up you will be swimming Eh Mick. You need to weigh under 100KG to be of any use on the wire Mick, and at last count you were over that. Can I suggest that if you propose trapping on the Mari that you get some practice on the mari as it is a different ball game to trapping on a larger boat.

He was simply in a class of his own also congratz to Brenton on his 3rd & the guy on the glider for 2nd, its nice to see some new faces take home some prizes.

Pointed Reply Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thirteen year old Zac came 5th overall in a star studded field, even with a DNF in race 6 due to a broken halyard. I think it is a case of me being Zac's father, rather than the other way around !! Another excellent Mannering Park regatta, excellent racing, great organisation, perfect weather and very nice warm water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iOrion Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Haha! I always comment on the temperature of the water. Props to the having a Power Plant on the lake perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
