To all Australian F18 Sailors.
It worlds time again and this year where heading to the USA. As usual Australia has been allocated its spots based on registered members during the season, once again 8 spots for Australians who qualified during the nationals.
Due to the great interest from Australian Teams I have also requested from the International Association a further allocation of spots bumping us up to 13 slots if we can commit to filling them.
Worlds 2012 NOR has been issued (see attached), so now we need to have a show of hands of those wanting to go. Allocation will be given to the top 8 positions from the nationals then to those who sailed wishing to go, and then followed by anyone who throws their hat in.
Nats results are as follows and I ask for those wishing to attend the worlds to please let us know ASAP including sailors who did not race at the Nats. First in claims the spots.

Hi F18 sailors
The after the Christmas break the regattas are coming thick and fast over the next month. Check all the regatta info below and get organized for some F18 fun!
Mannering Park Regatta Australia's top sailors joined the fleet of over 60 catamarans that came to Mannering Park on the weekend to compete and share a few beers with friends. The eight F18s raced in division one with fourteen A Class. It was a great experience for us to line up on a start line of 22 boats with Darren Bundock, James Spithill, Steve Brewin and Nathan Outridge to name a few. The new slim line Trevor Lowder was unstoppable in his new C2, winning the F18s with 7 points. Greg and Kez were just behind him and came second by just one point. Brett came third with a selection of crew. Lachie dumped his dad for this regatta and sailed solo on his new Maricat. Brett wore out his Saturday crew and picked up a fresh bloke for Sunday’s races. It seems that the replacement crews weren’t as tough as young Lachie. Fourteen year old Connor Simpson skippered his first regatta of the Travellers Series and young James Towndrow was very fast with the kites on his dads boat. Congratulations to all our young sailors.

NSW F18 Travellers’ Series rules
The aim of the Travellers series is PARTICIPATION. We are trying to get the NSW F18s together so we can sail as a large fleet. This will improve our skill level and promote the class.
Entering; Any NSW boat that sails in a regatta in the series is automatically entered. No fees or paperwork.
Scoring; the places of the all NSW F18s in an event in the Travellers’ Series will be added to the point score. Any team absent will get the last place (in that event) +one point. For example if 14 boats race those absent will score 15. The more events attended the better the score.
Drops; 2 drops during the season
Substitution; Points are awarded to the boat not the skipper as long as one of the regular team are sailing in the event.
If you change your boat; when a boat is sold mid-season the team can carry their points to the new boat.
Special situations; Average points will be awarded if the sailor has been unable to race due to organizational commitments of a F18 travellers event that we are attending. Average points based only on end of series results.
The after the Christmas break the regattas are coming thick and fast over the next month. Check all the regatta info below and get organized for some F18 fun!

Hi F18 sailors
Nationals
We all had some rip roaring boat breaking fun at Magnetic Island Race Week nationals. +20 knot winds made the racing exciting. Jason Waterhouse and Josh McKnight won the event with a combined score of 15. Townsville locals Mick Guinea and Mr X came second with a total score of 26, followed by Adam Beattie and Mr Y in third place with 29 points. All the results are below and great photos and stories can be found on the regatta website www.magneticislandraceweek.com.au
Great Race this Saturday
This Saturday is the Great Race at the Sydney Flying Squadron. This part of the NSW F18 Travellers series. Carlton Brewery are sponsoring the event and are offering $5000 prize money to be shared amongst the fleets of historic 18 footers and modern 18 foot skiffs and cats. $50 entry fee per boat for racing and a barbeque dinner for two and live band. This is a bargain and the event should be a big party. The historic spectator ferry leaves the wharf at 1400hrs so be ready for boarding at 1330hrs. All food and drink needs to be purchased on board no BYO on the ferry this time. Live music and a barbeque on the wharf after the race.
You can register online or in the park on the morning. Briefing at 1300hrs. One long race around the harbour with some windward return legs. Race starts at 1430hrs. Although the race starts late boats will need to be in the water by 1315hrs. There will be many boats in the park and they need to enter the water by a ramp one at a time. It is a 30 minute sail from the club to the start line. This should be a popular race and the rigging area will be congested. No cars are allowed in the park. Trailers can be unhitch from cars at the entrance and pushed into place. Trailers will need to be parked in specific areas in the rigging area. Club volunteers will be helping manage the chaos. I suggest High St is a good place to park without getting booked. Boats can be dropped off on Friday but if you arrive Saturday don’t turn up late.
The notice of race is on the website www.sydneyflyingsquadron.com.au More details about the event and photos of the spectator ferry can be viewed in the SFS newsletter below.
We need to know numbers so please reply if you are coming to this event. leanneg@bigpond.net.au
