Victoria Aust, Mac Get Together

[sailboatmike]

Hi guys I have been posting about this in the Australian section but many dont see it hidden away down there.

If anyone is interested please let me know, looks like it will be run out of Hastings Yacht Club on Westernport, 3 public ramps, plenty of parking and a great kick off point for those that want to do some sailing in Westernport.

I have not set any dates as yet but maybe around November if everyone can agree.

There is plenty of berthing on the public floating jetty on a first come first served basis, also the outside of the boat ramp jetty can normally be used or for those that want all the creature comforts Hastings Marina is literally just around the corner.

Hastings YC has 4 or 5 Macs amongst its members (much to the disgust of the Noelex boys) so I will be trying to rope them in as well

Cheers
Mike

WOW ! I would love to join you, it is just to long a drive from Florida.

Why drive when you could sail over???

I think it is about 10,000 miles , not sure I have the experience to sail that far , YET. I did sail their once on a big Navy Gray Boat. Would like to go back someday. Without the Navy Boat.

Im sure the M would be up to it, many have made similar trips is much smaller much less seaworthy boats.

The might be up to it ,but I have only been12 miles out in to the Gulf Of Mexico ,so far. I have a lot to learn before that trip. What do you think it would take , maybe 200 day trip?

[sailboatmike]

Maybe 100 days would cover the trip if you could manage about 100Nm a day

Bumping this so we can get arrangements made.

Going down to the club on the weekend to talk to the sailing committee about the proposed get together

Hi,

Already replied to this in the Oz section but just making sure that you have my interest noted on here. I am in Boronia, eastern suburbs of Melbourne, so on the same side as Westernport. Would be interested to sail with others. I'll wait for more news as it comes along.

Awesome, can you send me a message with your contact details that would be great, Im a bit dissapointed I know of a few Macs locally but have heard from none of them.

Nothing I would like better than giving those Noelex 25 owners a show of Mac unity, they give me a hard time at the club
