BarryK1200LT Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi All, At this stage a mate of mine and myself are planing to sail over to Morton Island on the F18 this Sunday the 25th of May. It will be conditional on the weather and wind forecast for the weekend. Any more than about 15 knots of breeze and the open bay gets rough, and we want this to be a cruise over and back. So a 10/15 knot forecast for the day will be ideal. We'll rig up at Scarborough harbour boat ramp and sail pretty much due east to Tangalooma and back. Our plan is to leave Scarborough about 9:30am, so we'll be at the ramp around 8:30 to rig up. Anyone that might be interested in doing the same trip with their own catamaran is welcome to join us. Give me a call on 0438 641 543 if interested in coming along. Cheers Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypa Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hope you still hung onto the Mari, Barry. Wouldn't mind doing a similar trip when I get my boat (and self) organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryK1200LT Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yep I still have the Maricat. Only sold the F18. Cheers Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt P Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Well done Barry but i was looking forward to doing some trips down the track. But I was wondering how I would keep up with an F18?? Are you going to upgrade the Maricat? Cheers Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryK1200LT Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi Kurt, No plans to update the Maricat at this stage. My Maricat is nicely sorted right now and it's an enjoyable easy boat to sail. I might eventually treat myself to a new sail someday, or try and pick up a near new one thats only a season or two old, as thats about the only performance improvement left that I could do for my Mari. I'm going to hopefully get down to Raby Bay on Saturday for a sail. We have midday high tides this weekend, so Raby bay should be rather nice. If you have time, how about bringing the 4.5 down?

Kurt P Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hi there Barry, I should read the board more often. We had planned to go to Raby Bay on Saturday but unfortunately between kids soccer and a show at night we ran out of time. Hope you had a nice sail the conditions seemed ideal. If I knew you were there I would have dumped the wife and kids and came along Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryK1200LT Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 G'day Kurt, Yep Saturday was a great day for a sail. I ended up putting the Maricat in at Raby Bay around 11:30 and then did a lap of Peel Island. Sunday was equally nice, so I backed up again for a few hours sailing in the afternoon.
