berny Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Concord Ryde sailing club used to run a cat marathon down the river, into the harbour and back, a bit over 2hrs round trip for big cats as I remember it. Some of you here may have participated and remember that it was a lot of fun, but it died mainly due to the ongoing increases in restrictions from the Harbour authority. Last one was around the time spinnakers we just beginning to appear on cats. A few ppl ran them but being early days they weren't all that successful. It really was the classic Windward / Return course and would very much suit the new breed of spi cats. We are talking about resurrecting it in a slightly different form, i.e., down to Goat Island and back with maybe a coupla diversions into selected bays along the way. We'd like to see if there is any interest in it, to help with our decision to run it again. Anyone here interested? Berny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Sounds interesting, I'm sure the Mari's and Nacra's from Mannering Park would be interested, who else? Mick and thed Tanilba boys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humungus2 Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 When is it and how long the winward return is determans the amount of port I have to carry on the boat. Maybe a no spinika race to make it fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
