Just One More Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Might be interested in those rudders Darcy just have to wait and see what Mr Hockey gives me back after July 1st. Only problem with that one mari at PKSC is that it is a very fast one sailed by two very good sailors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Don't forget the big cats ours numbers are up again too. 5 nacras 2 tiapans couple of hydras plus others. Someone should organize a cat regatta for all cat sizes.(Not many responses to my attempt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just One More Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yeah I have the same sinking feeling about Mr Hockey. Might start a business lease everything including the sports car and find an accountant who can get me over $180k bracket, as long as I don't need to go to the doctors.Tony we may need to drop the race fees so people can stay on the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverg Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 The F18's would love to participate in a cat regatta in the first couple of weeks in December. Currently putting together calender for upcoming season and have a hole during this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interested Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 who runs the windys over here in NSW ?Is there a NSW titles for the Windrush and if not is it possible to get them up and running again seeing as the numbers are increasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sando Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Too many questions! Last first - Peter, PKSC is the last desent fleet of Windies as Mannering Park now manily Maricats with a sprinkling of others.PKSC will be custodians of the NSW Windrush Association until numbers improve statewide. Thanks Maverg - PKSC committee is currently investigating the possibility of splitting all cats from the Kembla Klassic to a seperate regatta. See Kurt's earlier post under http://www.catsailor.net/index.php?/topic/6032-custom-cat-regatta/More on this in a fortnight! Paul, the answer is simple - feel sick? pay $15 and race your cat or, pay $7 to see a doctor. You know sailing will cure most ills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interested Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hey Tony cant we have BOTH regattas run separately ?Run the KK as per normal (most of the PKSC small cat fleet dont sail and prefer to help run the KK event,last year only Hugh sailed)and then have a separate Cat regatta on at another date which would encompass the NSW Windy Titles ??ticks all the boxes?

Just One More Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Why don't we put on a 14' cat regatta inconjuntion with the PT's and Arrows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sando Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Probably because we have never asked.I think it is a shame that we lost the Koonawarra Bay 14' regatta off the LAKE.We should try and retain the second weekend of February as a Lake Illawarra Cat regatta. I'll make some calls before raising this with PKSC committee on 2nd June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just One More Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yep be good, keep in mind that if you want the TY guys to run it The Basin Regatta is the weekend before so they might not be to receptive to the idea, and I'm fairly sure we have the Illawarra Youth Regatta which is the 3rd weekend in Feb.

mickvyse Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 HI all, I'm hoping to add to the windrush numbers at PKSC, either later this season or for next season. Am a beginner sailor and looking for something i can singlehand as well as occasionally take others out on. Was looking at dinghys but Trevor from PKSC tipped me off to windrushes when I came to check to club out yesterday. They look like the perfect boat and trevor said there is a good bunch of people sailing them at PKSC. Just need to find myself a basic boat now on a registered trailer and I'll be there. Any tips for buying or do you know of any boats for sale in the area that I could sail straight away or with a little tidying up? All i need is one that floats and has a rudder and a full set of sails. not worried about being competitive at the moment. Looking at a max of $2k but would prefer around $1k if possible. CheersMick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
