Guys, Not sure I can do too many regattas between now and Geelong Week on account of my other commitments, however providing I can organise a good group of deck clowns, Taking Back Sunday will be there. I notice there is an "Elliott 7 Series" described in the NOR, so I'm hoping enough of you will make the short trip down from Canberra to Geelong to enjoy some good times on (and off) the water with us. If there's not enough interest, I'm going to enter the Open Sportsboat Division. Who's up? Andrew |

It's one of the best sportsboat regattas, would be good for you to get in there. Perhaps do what the T7 and Melges did last season and have a separate title in there. The Vic States. |

We dont have a seperate division like the others years. you would be sailing in the mixed Sportsboat fleet under SMS handicap (which is not too bad for an E7) But you will need to get your boat measured which includes getting it weighed. Maybe we organise a Sydney SMS measuring session. |

Look at the NOR attached. There is an Elliott 7 Series, so pending you guys loading up your cars with your clowns and their gear, we'll have our own scratch series. |

Hi Guys, I think they have put the elliott series in to see if they attract enough for a fleet. But unless there are a few boats (maybe 5+) that enter, it is likely that it will be scrapped and any elliotts will need to sail with the rest of the sportsboats (and get measured for ASBA). You guys need to decide how many will turn up and what you want to do (eg. could call it the Vic state E7 titles). I suggest any boats wanting to go down regardless contact the sportsboat association and see if they can hold a measurement just before Skandia week to allow any newcomers to join in. Cheers, Stu |

I'm committing Taking Back Sunday to the cause, so let's get keen and head south for sailing around the cans with cans. |

People!!! It's all very quiet down there in Canberra!!! I need to hear some good news - you're all going to join me in Geelong!!! Running out of weeks to commit and make sure you have a solid contingent of quality crew. If you don't come, that means I have to get measured and all that carry on. Is there anyone coming? PM me or look me up on Sailing Anarchy - I'm 3100. Andrew |

It's a great time and regatta, but we are heading to Qld a few times this season. If you can't make Nationals there is someone looking to charter a couple of topics down. Who is orgainising the Sydney regatta, need that getting sorted. |

I've canned Geelong Week, now. No point going down there unless I can have a race against you guys. Doesn't matter - we'll see you all in QLD for the Nationals. I have some locals heading an All-Star line-up. Good times ahead. |
