spike Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I think we have finalised the calendar for next seasons Traveller Series. At this stage the nominated events are: 15 - 16 September 2012 - Humpybash - Humpybong Sailing Club 29 - 30 September 2012 - Torquary Hotel Multihull Regatta - Hervey Bay Sailing Club 13 - 14 October 2012 - Cleveland Sailing Club 2 day regatta, day one around the buoys on the saturday and around (or down to?) Coochiemudlo Island. This event has been held at request of the Association so it would be good if we can have a strong showing. The club has a growing fleet of Nacra's and it would be good to support them. 3 - 4 November 2012 - Cat Challenge Lake Cootharabah 10 - 11 November 2012 - Bridge to Breakers Clarence River Sailing Club 29 December 2012 - 4 January 2013 - National Titles Hervey Bay Sailing Club 12 - 13 January 2013 - New Years Regatta - Lake Samsonvale Sailing Club 26 - 27 January 2013 SEQ Titles Southport Sailing Club Feb- March 2013 Bundaberg Regatta (dates to be confirmed) March 2013 Darren Lowder Memorial Regatta- South West Rocks (hopefully also a nominated event in the NSW Nacra Super Series) 29 - 31 March 2013 Qld State Titles - venue to be confirmed but will be somewhere in North Queensland. This year the series will end at the State Titles and we will do the raffle draw after the State Titles Presentation. There will also be a couple of changes to the structure of the series. The first is the name. There are two other NACRA series held each year in Qld and NSW, both of these are called Super Series, for the purpose of consistency, it is proposed to also call ours a "Super Series". The other change will be the ticketing system. The thought is to simplify it and also nominate a number events where double tickets will be issued, these will likely be Bundaberg, South West Rocks and Bridge to Breakers. All of the major prizes will be drawn as part of the raffle. To be eligible for the draw this season you will be required to compete in at least 30% of the nominated events. I will also score a series competition similar to last year with trophies on offer. Full details of the series will be posted shortly. Also, if anyone is interested in some early season sailing Lake Cootharabah Sailing Club will be hosting the All Boats regatta next week end. Early indications are that there will be a good rollup of NACRA's including at least 8 5.8's.

The club is putting on a special event for us with 3 races on Saturday (first start not before 12.30 pm) and a race around (or down to?) Coochiemudlo Island on Sunday with an early finish. Overnight camping is welcome at the club. To help with your travel expenses we will have a lucky sail draw at the end of the event for Super Series sailors. There is already 2 $50 fuel cards in the prize pool. If your sail number is drawn and you aren't at the event the prize pool will jackpot with another card added at the next (and subsequent) rounds. The club has a number of very keen Nacra sailors and it would be great to have a good rollup of boats, hope to see you there.

spike Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 SEQ NACRA SUPER SERIES 2012-13 EVENT 5 - Bridge to Breakers Clarence River Last weekends event at Lake Cootharabah saw a big rollup of NACRA's including 9 5.8's with 2 former national champions duking it out for supremacy of the fleet -the way I see it the score at the moment is Venom 1 Trucking 0 . The next event in the SEQ NACRA SUPER SERIES is the Bridge to Breakers Regatta at Clarence River. For those who haven't been there before the Big River Sailing Club hosts the event from their club house on a grassy bank of the Clarence River (up stream from Yamba). Format for the weekend is a long race to the Breakers at Yamba and back to the club. Sunday is a number of round the buoy races. Start time Saturday is briefing 12.30 pm and race commencing 1.30pm. The club has some of the best grounds for camping with lush grass (well it was last year) right up to the sandy banks of the river. Full catering is also provided with some great home cooking on offer. for more info on the regatta please see this link http://www.bigriver.yachting.org.au/ While the club is in Northern NSW it is surprisingly close to Brisbane now that the Ballina bypass is open. Congratulations to the winner of last weeks Lucky Sail Draw - Lex Statsburg (5.8 from Cleveland) . Once again we will have a Super Series Lucky Sail Draw with a $50 fuel voucher up for grabs. To win the prize you must have sailed in the regatta and a current member of the Nacra Association (you do not however have to be at the draw - if you need to leave early). If you name is drawn and you didn't attend the regatta the draw will jackpot at the next round of the series. This year we have over $3000 of prizes on offer for the series, all you have to do is be a member of the Nacra Association, sail a class legal Nacra and attend some of our nominated events.

nacrabat Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Once again the BRSC put on a great weekend of good food, wonderful hospitality and lousy weather. For all those Qld's who didn't make the trip, perhaps forgivable given the forecast, it was indeed a BLAST. Early arrivals on Friday were greeted with strong cold southerlies and driving squalls in which to pitch their tents, so I'm told. By race time Saturday the wind was S 15-20 and building. Visitors from Qld included Ian and Meg from Cleveland on their 5.8 and Phil from Hollywell (nee Ballina) on his 4.5 "No Waiting". Other Nacras were all from Ballina including yours truly on 4.5 "Poetry in Mocean", the Horseleys on 5.8 "Two Foot Extra" and Bill and Zac on 5.8 "Sheel Be Right", Col and Roy on their 16sqs, "Shore Thing" and "Easy Beat". Suffice to say it was a wild weekend with punishing conditions. Saturday saw winds gusting over 30kts during the race resulting in many casualties, fortunately no serious damage but only 7 of 19 cats finished. Sunday morning was a little calmer but still hairy and Sunday pm was cancelled due to strong winds. Results are at:- http://www.bigriver.yachting.org.au/site/yachting/bigriver/downloads/Bridge%20to%20Breakers%20Results.pdf More info and pics coming soon at http://www.bigriver.yachting.org.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
