11/12 Nationals Update
24/08/11 07:26 Filed in: Nationals QLD
Hi F18 sailors
Only 10 days to go before the F18 Nationals at Magnetic Island Race Week. In Townsville today it is 26o and sunny with a fresh afternoon sea breeze. I know where I would rather be. So pack your boat and boardies and head north for some fun in the sun.
Registration closes this Friday 26th August. If you have not yet entered register and pay online at https://secure.tetra-australia.com/mirw/entry_form.cfm
Event info Attached is a newsletter from the race committee with all the latest details. For all the details about race week go to the websitehttp://www.magneticislandraceweek.com.au/index.cfm?eid=927
Barge We have sponsorship for barging our boats onto the island. I have been trying to contact Mick Guinea, as I’m not sure if we have to book a time for the barge trip. The details will follow in the next email.
Rigging At this event we will not be rigging on grass or sand. The rigging area is an asphalt car park and boat ramp. You will need foam pads to protect your hulls from damage.
Social Details of the social activities are on the attached newsletter from the event organizers
F18 Association membership All competitors at the nations need to be financial members of the F18 association. To join or renew membership either go to our websitehttp://www.ausf18.org.au/MEMBERSHIP/MEMBERSHIP.html and download the forms and pay by direct debit or just fill in the forms and pay at the event. We don’t do credit cards.
Other news Congratulations to Steve Brewin who has just won the A Class worlds in Denmark for all the details go to http://catsailingnews.blogspot.com/ Young Jason Waterhouse teamed up with Brett Goodall to compete in the F16 Worlds in a Viper. They sailed brilliantly and finished 2nd behind Olympic gold medalist Darren Bundock. Well done boys! On Saturday September 24th the Sydney Flying Squadron are holding a race for 18 foot cats and skiffs to find the fastest vessel on Sydney Harbour. Carlton Brewery are donating a $6000 cash prize! Some of the skiff sailors are under the delusion that they have a chance of winning the prize against the cats. Put this date in your calendar. Details will follow.
See you at Magnetic Island
