Windysailor Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hi, Is there a victorian windrush association? I found a few broken links and was wondering if it was still active? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sando Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 No Shaun, I think it disbanded. The only state with an active association is WA. NSW still has half a dozen members and sail a State title on the back of a weekend regatta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windysailor Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 What a shame... So there are no Vic state windrush titles anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquoll Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 The good news is that the Vic Paper Tiger association is going strong; 23 boats entered the last Vic State Titles, 40 boats contested the Australian Nationals, and the fleet was limited to 50 boats in the Internationals.Did you want a fast, exciting racing boat, or a heavy, recreation-sailing Windy?http://www.vicpapertiger.org.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just One More Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Well Tony, If windys are such a heavy recreation sailing boat, how come I would give you a pretty close run for your money at Wallagoot on a Saturday afternoon????

tonyquoll Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Just a couple more stirs;The Windy is designed as a heavy, recreational sailing boat, which some of you talented folk managed to race against PTs, when there's enough breeze and you don't tack too often.The problem of owning a Windy can be fixed: see the for-sale pages at the back of the Australian Paper Tiger newsletter: http://aptca.papertigercatamaran.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=60&Itemid=53 Seriously though, there are some great regattas coming up where we can take the battle of the 14' cats to the water:VICSept 21-22, Bendigo Ice BreakerNov 16-17, McCrae Cat Champs NSWOct 5-7, Wagga Wagga Regatta,Oct 5-6, Jervis Bay RegattaOct 12-13, Mannering Park 14' cat regattaOct 19-20, ACT Multihull Champs (YMCA Sailing Club)Nov 2-3, Coila Lake Regatta (Batemans Bay Sailing Club, off-the-beach division)Nov 30-1 Dec, Kembla Klassic (Port Kembla)Feb 15-16, Twofold Bay Regatta (Eden)March 8-9, Wallagoot Lake Regatta (Bega/Tathra)April 26-27, Batemans Bay Anzac Regatta I'm sure there's heaps more that these too.
