interested Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 will they have 3 divisions -Cat,Sloop and Super Sloop ?Last regatta was basically a single SS race and those Sloop Maris with crew are not keen if its just a SS regatta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Normally, if there are 4 or more sloops, they form a division. If you are the only sloop rig starter, you will be the national champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korwich Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have spoken to the president of Toukley re holding our nationals at the Brass Monkey, they do not have a problem with it and have said yes. So yes it will be at the Toukley Brass Monkey Regatta which is held over the June Long weekend. There is planned to be 3 divisions Cat SS and sloop. As to whether we have our own start will be up to the club, and dependng on how many other 14s of different classes turn up to the regatta.

korwich Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hi guys, I'm trying to find out how many sloops we will have at the Nats. If we have no takers we can save the money by not getting a trophy made, if we have sloops even looking like coming a trophy will be forthcoming.It is looking like we may even have some 5.0s to add to the fleet, and on that note does anyone know where there may be a perpetual 5.0 trophy, I'm assuming there was one? The 5.0s had finished by the time I came into the Maricat Assoc. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korwich Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm trying to put up the NOR for the Maricat Nats, but this forum is blocking me or the software is not allowing me to upload it. It has been posted on Facebook, and I have also asked the mod of the Maricat FB page to post it. If he has done so remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4108 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 OK so where is the entry form attached to this notice of race as mentioned?How do I join the Association? How does anyone know what is going on with the Maricat class?I read that the assoc web site will be operational soon, but I was also heard it would be operational a year ago when I was trying to find some information about Maricat Assoc racing!I have owned a Maricat for ove a year now, sail at CRSC and nobody seems interested to get me to join the Association.I will turn up to go for a sail and enjoy a weekend of sailing and hopefully meet some interesting characters and enjoy some sailing camaraderie. As for a National Championship, who ever heard of one being held at an off season get together. Well I guess the 18 footers used to claim a world championship for the Sydney Harbour fleet when I was a boy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuttlebutt Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 The association is run by guys giving up their time so it does not always go to plan, Regardless of When the Nats are held it will not suite everyone unfortunately . You involvement with the association would probably be welcomed, Not enough people step forward to help. Phil has basically had to pull this all together on his own so please come along, have a great sail, meet some great guys and have some fun! We are a small assassination and we are not racing for sheep stations. At the end of the day it is simply an excuse to all get together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korwich Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I'm off to see the trophy place this morning (after having been at work since 5.00 this morning) i'm looking at getting 33 trophies organised. Then I am driving to Sydney for the 4th time this week, then coming home tomorrow morning to go back to work tomorrow (Sunday) for about 6 hours, if I get to have a weekends sailing in the off season I'm happy. The web site should be up soon, (seeing as the $800.00 for the design is being put up by Mick himself I reckon that we can be greatful that he is prepared to do that). Ive tried to post the entry rego form here, but I keep getting blocked from posting files on here, if anyone else has access to do that let me know and I'll email you the file.

interested Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 What about the YA info and the 10 mill pub liability Insurance details (company and policy number) on the Entry Form.Would be a good idea to remind people of Insurance considering the regatta is out of season and most Insurance policies have a lay over period and boats may not be covered between May-sept.

darcy1945 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 YA number and insurance details are covered by your entry to this regatta (separate from Mari assc) See the Toukley Sailing Club site, re, Brass Monkey Regatta. You should check the YA site to ensure that your details are up to date, as many YA members do not have 2014 cards Your friendly TSC Commodore. Darcy.

interested Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Not so bothered about the YA number Darcy.Just plenty like myself have insurance policy with a nominated "Lay-Off" period through winter..Basically my insurance would not cover the race as would plenty of others who took the lay-off option so more of a timely reminder to those skippers Darcy.Do you have a nominated "Lay-Off" racing period on your policy?

darcy1945 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Never taken this option, but spoke today with others who are in that situation, what is the saving with this option? is it worthwhile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interested Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yeah because you are not racing for a quarter of the year you get 25% discount..Still insured for the 12 months if stolen etc but racing coverage can be worked out on monthly basis.I opted for Sept to April so get 4 months (may,june,july,august)discount..Saves you a fair bit Darcy on full insurance.

knobblyoldjimbo Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 But with the YA NSW linked insurance only costing $50pa for third party theres not a great deal of point stuffing about with layoff periods. I think it was $140 for fully comp.The Brass Monkey has been going for so many years now that its silly not to stay covered for the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korwich Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I've always kept up my insurance except for a layoff for july august september as there has always been either Keepit Kool or Toukley in June. if you are not racing for 4 months that is a 3rd of the year, so how come you don't get a 33.33% deduction. If necessary I can ring the insurer and tell them I am taking it out and get a sort of covernote, same as if someone other than yourself is going to sail your boat, ring them and tell them, no probs. And if you're me, you'll know just how useful insurance can be when its needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
