whollsee Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Got any pics up anywhere?...was nearly a starter for this with a mate but work..blah blah...would love to see some of the lake and the water based action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboutcats Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 G'day Whollsee Maeve took a heap of pics including off the rescue boat I need to sort them and get em up plus a couple of vids showing the boats racing and adventure race up the Cooper channel between Lake Hope and Cooper Creek. You'll kick yourself for missing this one, I've done all four and this was the warmest weather, best firewood supply, biggest and best lake with best quality water and best wind by far. The pics in that vid show less than a quarter of the lake but more or less where we raced. Probably around 18 knots on some race days. I'll post links here as things get uploaded, as usual the pics will be in an album on the beachcats sight with the other LEYC regatta photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboutcats Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I've loaded another video of the light wind race up the Cooper Creek with a fair few photos of the lighter wind race to Pelican Point on the video, tried to show as many boats as possible, still another vid to do of the windy race days http://youtu.be/m3YhWhIFOzw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboutcats Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Last of the vid's is now uploaded, this is the windier race, tried to put as many cats in as possible and put a heap of pics at the end http://youtu.be/tm6Fx8spCCw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbieandrew Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I watched a doco on channel ten today called Desert Waters. It was mostly about water resources in the outback but the last 10 mins or so they spent talking about the Lake Eyre Regatta, talking to LEYC members. Well worth a look if you can find it online anywhere... (I can't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbieandrew Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Wow, I still get pretty nervous towing 1 boat from Glenelg to Seacliff. I don't think I'll be putting "tow 3 boats stacked on top of each other half way up the state" on my to do list anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboutcats Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Cats tow easy, the month before the 2010 Lake Eyre regatta I stacked my kids two Arrows on top of my Taipan 5.7 and went to Sauna sail, that was 800km the other wayhere's link to that thread if your interestedhttp://beachcatsaustralia.ning.com/photo/albums/sauna-sail-2010?xgi=&test-locale=&exposeKeys=&xg_pw=&xgsi=&id=5221712%3AAlbum%3A4041&groupId=&groupUrl=&xg_disable_customizations=&commentPage=&page=3#.UjuPf-UiOUkIn October the year before we went to the Lake Bonney regatta at Barmera, with the kids two Arrows on my Taipan 5.7http://beachcatsaustralia.ning.com/photo/albums/sailing-1#.UjuP4uUiOUkThat was when the water was really low and hardly anybody went to the regatta I think we doubled the amount of boats once we arrived Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
