sando Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 This is set to be a big 14 ft regatta - Maricat Titles and Paper Tiger traveller series. I see iOrion (Antony) seems keen, anyone else interested in flying the W14 flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoSport260 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I would be, but I doubt Dad will be keen on driving down. If he doesn't go, I can't because I wont have a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sando Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 If Antony decides to go maybe he could bring his and your boat on the double trailer - just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoSport260 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I've got no way of getting the trailer from dad's without doing a 6hr round trip to Branxton... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoSport260 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 and my little swift can't tow the trailer even if I had a towbar. The swift towbars are rated for 400kg & 50kg downforce on the ball MAX! pathetic really... But it is only a little 1.5L buzz box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iOrion Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 If you wanted to go Michael and Warren doesn't, maybe we could arrange a trailor swap the weekend before at MPASC? Even so, Rohan surely could accomodate you. Up to you, Mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Planet Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi guys, I'm seriously thinking about attending.. maybe go down on the Thursday and do some marketing for Lift King - and be ready and fresh for the regatta... OK Michael, you're welcome to use 2BLU (my old boat) - just bring your own sails etc... or I'm happy to take your boat down instead - BUT you'll have2 bring it to Lift King somehow... BTW, I've updated the Windrush page with 45 pix in a slideshow presentation - lots from Mannering Park etc... I'm sure you'll see 1 or 2 of yourselves there,,, Check it out... http://www.liftkingaustralia.com.au/windrushcatamarans.html PS The guys who sail at Fitzroy Fals - and all the 'southern' sailors - Port Kembla etc... why aren't they showing any interest?

TornadoSport260 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Sorry Rohan, as I said the other day. I am doing the Sydney - Newcastle race on the night of the 8th and wont finish till late on the 9th. So I'll be offshore on Wasabi not travelling south sailing windrush. But thanks for the offer.

Prince Planet Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Oh OK - I 4got that you told me... or it appeared from your post here that you'd like to attend if you could... do you think anyone else from Manno Park is interested? BTW, did you check out the updated page on my site? There are definitely a cuppla pix of you there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoSport260 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 The slideshow looks good. But the overall page is very busy. Its hard to read because of how busy it is. Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Planet Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Datz OK, The WHOLE site is too busy - I want to get away from the sterile 'template-generated' look... Hand-made is better... But I agree– a W14 tramp needs to be CLEAN... like yours... lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iOrion Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Off the shelf? Over the counter? Prescription? Black market?.. Nimben? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoSport260 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Black market & Nimben are the same thing arent they? Over the counter compound chemist versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iOrion Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I always thought black market to be somewhat more illicit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Planet Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hey guys, speaking to others about Batemans Bay - it appears that only myself and Antony are seriously thinking of attending - on that basis - and as Antony's boat won't be ready in time anyway... then methinks itz not worth it... The Port Kembla crew aren't gonna be there apparently - so if one or 2 Windys turn up - it looks bad for the class as a whole... The next thing that we could attend as a group, would be the Kurnell Catamaran Club President's Cup/Captain Cook Trophy on May 1st - so let's see if we can get a few boats there for that?

TornadoSport260 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Dad and I are going to do the BYRA Peter Loft marathon from Bayview (pittwater) that day. I suggest we all go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Planet Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hi Michael, The Port Kembla guys have expressed interest in coming up2 Kurnell - so for them to go to Bayview instread will probably be a stretch too far... If you and Warren could come to Kurnell, we will probably get a larger turn-out - and of course, will help me to get the Windrush established as their Junior stepping-stone boat... I'm hoping that we can all pull in the same direction when it comes to events like this - for the good of the class... I don't believe BYRA has expressed any interest in the W14? Let me know...

TornadoSport260 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I had already planned to go to BYRA's marathon. We are only going based on the weather as well. Have you asked BYRA if they are interested in Windrush 14? As for your comment about 1 or 2 windrush turning up for a regatta being bad. I think it is the opposite. I think 1 or 2 windrush turning up to regattas normally not attended by windrush is a good thing. If no one went then no one would have cause to believe that people still race windrush. If someone of a few go then atleast people still see there are good boats that race regularly still around. What happened to the try sailing day at Kurnell?

TornadoSport260 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 For me doing the BYRA marathon is really about sailing on waters I have done little to no sailing on. Its more about a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Planet Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hey Mike, I'm not up to speed yet on my boat - and if Antony and I turn up and we place rather badly, then it's really not a good thing... If some of the faster PKSC club guys were gonna be there – then I absolutely would attend - but Tony says that none of them are gonna be there... They did express an interest in attending a 'last blast' at Kurnell - so in the interest of solidarity, then Kurnell is the better option... We really do need to have either you or Warren at these events - as you 2 are ALWAYS gonna be at the front of the fleet – regardless of how anybody else does... right? Anyway, let me speak to Tony again and get a commitment from some of the PK guys... Please appreciate, that even though I do wanna get the KCC juniors on a W14, it's not just for me, it's really for the good of the class... and the're already aware of the initiative... so your attendance is very valuable...

sando Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hmm - me thinks some wires are crossed! Hi R & M The regatta the PK guys were showing a little interest in was the Darren Lowder Memorial Trophy on Sunday 17th April - Briefing at 10am. Note the 11am start. 3 race program followed by BBQ. see KCC calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Planet Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 OK Tony, I'll be there for that one - for sure - so maybe we can accommodate everyone's wishes? !7th at Kurnell, 1st of May @ Bayview? I might try to get up to Toukley again this Sunday - any others interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoSport260 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 17th sounds like fun for you all. I'm headed north to Port Stephens for Sail Port Stephens onboard WASABI that weekend. Following weekend is Tasar States at Speers Point (amanda my partner will be sailing across the bay at Teralba for the NS14 states so i figured i'd con my mates wife into taking her Tasar up). May 1st at BYRA and thats about me done for cat/dinghy sailing this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
