slammer Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Thanks to everyone who participated in the Wildcat regatta. It was again a weekend that lived up to expectation- three days of great weather. Not a cloud sighted for four days, and a variety of winds varying from light to testing breeze that had a few in the water. For many the Wildcat is more than a sailing regatta it is a family holiday. Thankyou to those who travelled huge distance to come to the Wildcat. Your participation is greatly appreciated and hugely valued. Equally so we greatly appreciate the participation of first timers to the regatta- we hope you felt welcome and we would love to see you again for the long weekend- welcome to the tradition that goes back over thirty years. The video has been completed and is available as a DVD. With highlights of Sunday and Monday as well as photos. email scottmachon@bigpond.com for postage details. Cost $10 inc postage. Pics and results coming Thanks again for a great weekend... forstersailingblogspot.com Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
