humungus2 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Check out the web site but Pirate pete won cat rigged and I won SS. It was good to see a lot of new faces. Poor old Dr Pete had a major trailer prob and had to miss the Sunday races, He was doing well. Photos and full details later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquoll Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I've reproduced the results at: http://catsailor.net/forums/showthread.php?4271-ACT-Multihulls-22-23rd-October The other results of the ACT Multihull Championships concerns damage resulting from collisions. More than a few people were blasting Maricat sailors generally for causing collisions. There may be a few possibilities on why this occurred; - inexperience and not knowing how to avoid incidents; eg; easing sheets and zig-zagging to slow down, or quickly releasing the jib so the boat will bear off and go behind another. - not knowing the rules. Please encourage the use of this fun, educational game that teaching the Racing Rules of Sailing: http://game.finckh.net/indexe.htm. Skippers could also download the current rules: http://www.sailing.org/racingrules.php . Or purchase this very well written and illustrated book: http://www.amazon.com/Rules-Practice-2009-2012/dp/0470727888 - risking collisions in the hope of gaining advantage. The points from the Racing Rules of Sailing I want to emphasise are Rule 2 "A boat and her owner shall compete in compliance with recognised principles of sportsmanship and fair play", and Rule14 "A boat shall avoid contact with another boat if reasonably possible".

humungus2 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I hear what you are saying. The newer sailors do need to brush up on the rules and the older sailor need to keep a proper look out so as they don't ram people after tacking. I am sure nothing was intensional but acidents can be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Peter Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Victorian Champ? STOP PRESS Victorian Champion, Dr. Pete, successfully defends state title in Canberra. Dr. Pete said, "I just had to turn up and get the boat wet. It was worth the $160 for the tow truck driver." Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyquoll Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 curious how the Victorian State Title was defended at the NSW State Titles, held in the ACT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humungus2 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Come on Tony. Give the guy a break. He turned up. he sailed. he had a major catastrfy with his trailer. it has cost him a packet. If he wants that title I am prepared to suport it because it was as close to Vic as it was to NSW. Well done Dr Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Peter Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 curious how the Victorian State Title was defended at the NSW State Titles' date=' held in the ACT.[/quote'] Tony, We all belong to one big happy country don't we? Think of it like making sure the railway guage is the same between states - it just makes sense! Mick, Thank you - it is a very special day when a Victorian gets such magnaminous support from a New South Welshman. Honestly, I'm looking forward to the day when we do have Victorian Championships or, failing that, a few more Victorians take the trip over the border.
