macca Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I am a member at Woollahra sailing club and they are having a winter series starting on the 6th May and running for 6 weeks or so. I am checking if there is enough interest to run a Cat division, it's a great opportunity to sail on the harbour when it's not too crowded. The club facilities are great with awesome warm showers and great rigging areas etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berny Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'm looking for somewhere to sail over winter to get my new kite sorted for next season. I will likely give it a go depending on the travel. Bern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornado Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi guys, Over the past few weeks we have had some exciting and close racing down at Woollahra between F18s, A Class and Tornadoes whilst joining the 49er, B14 and Laser fleets. Last week we had a visitor from Victoria, Chris Boag join us. We also had a old hydrofoil A class there testing and whilst the breeze did not pick up enough for it to become air born it was interesting to see it. This Saturday the 28th we are looking at co-ordinating maximum number of cat sailors on the water in a show of force to promote catamaran sailing to those on the harbour. I am aiming at getting the following number of boats on the water to join a healthy fleet of monos… 7 x F18s (3 Capricorns and 4 Tigers) 6 x A Class 3 x Tornadoes 1 x F14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornado Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Averaging solid 30s on the Harbour with gusts up to 43 knots recorded........ Nup.... Chickened out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berny Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Last Satdy was just a little blowey for 430 / F14 spinnaker sailing so it stayed in the sock. It was an afternoon of good competitive sailing at this friendly venue. I had a great time and would like to thank Steve Medwell for his interest and help on the day. So is there racing next Saturday? I'll be v/happy if the breeze is around 10k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornado Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Cheers Berny and thanks to the many sailors that came down and joined us. It was a great event and good advertising for cat sailing. Spoke to Woollahra and they idicated that they may also run a Spring Series July / August. I will ask Macca if he can keep and ear out for us. Also don't forget that in late August the Sydney Flying Squadron will be hosting their Brass Monkey regatta where out cats go head to head with monos from 18, 16, 14, 12 skiffs, foil moths, Cherubs, ICs, Lasers, 49ers, 29ers and more. Last years event was awsome and the cats realy took it to the skiffs........ Lets do it bigger and better this August and realy scare the $%^& ot of them. Will keep you updated there. Berny, my boat will be off the water for atleast another week, but expect to get back on the water on the first weekend in July. Will likely be training out of our home club, Kurnell. You are welcome to come down and join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berny Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 I Think I'd like to put the F14 in amongst some skiffs, it could be interesting. Keep us posted on that one. So is that the end of the Woollarah winter series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornado Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yep, just waiting on word about a Woollahra spring series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I would like to get in touch with the F18 owners at Woollahra as we are planning to purchase one and we would like some advice. We are looking at the moment at a couple of them including one which is 2003 but with the 2005 gear. Is there anybody going sailing on this saturday by any chance ?
