Are there any QLD Cobra's out there sailing more than once a year? It feels that numbers of interested people have been down so much of late that I have even...
Hija Matthew, There is a cobra at the Magnetic Island Sailing Club, an affiliate of the Townsville Sailing Club. Stuart Kininmonth is the guy behind the club...
Hi guys, I think I may have met that guy on the taipan too J, Im in Townsville and have a cobra ……. I unfortunately don’t get to get out on it very often...
G'day Matthew, Good to see you are at least getting out on the water. Would be good to see someone trying to sail a cobra one-up with jib. I would give it a go...
Sorry Mathew if I have affended any Cobra sailors with my posts. But I to would like to see more Cobras sailing at Hu8mpybong Yacht club.. As you know if...
G'day Valberg, No worries to meet up, just rock up to the club on a Sunday & you'll see pretty much the Victorian fleet (12 Cobras last Sunday) ... makes for...
Leon, Thanks for your feedback. I didn't mean to imply any anoyance on your part with your posts. I was more concerned that you are the main contributor to a...
Stan, If crew numbers are a problem has any thought been given to a rule modification allowing sailing one-up on a cat rigged Cobra? Our brothers over at the...
Matthew, The Vic Cobra's have been sailing one for years, and have entered previous National's as a cat rigged boat. If sailing cat rigged you need to rake the...
Rick, If that's the case can we update the rules to show this and get some wider acknowledgement of a one-up option for the class. Matthew Johnson SHADOW -...
Hmmm, this warrants thought. Rick, how about adding rule 17.2, 'Single handed racing of cat rigged is permitted with no change in yardstick' (which has been...
Great idea gies. This would mean people that have trouble getting crew at times can still sail. But you should really change the yard stick. Because you...
Leon, I'd question the yardstick change. According to the VYC the Mosquito in both MkI and MkII modes sails a yardstick of 84 (same as Cobra) and only drops to...
In practice, the boat goes just as fast (if not better) single handed as with crew. It seems that the extra sail area is offset by the extra weight. The only...

There should be a 'needs changes' option for the poll as I cannot answer either way. While I agree with the idea of the rule change, I do not agree with the...
As I see the current rules, there is no need to change. Rule 17.1 is clear - if you sail 2 up - the boat is rigged as a sloop, single handed sloop rigged is...
Rick, While I can see that rule 17.1 does not stipulate that you must sail 2 up, rule 13.2 currently stipulates that the rig for the class shall consist of one...

As I can see from various writings on Stan's site some of you down south have been experimenting with kites. As I'm now focusing on sailing one up as a lone...
Hi all, Wondering if there are any cobra's in NSW. If there are at least 5 or so a few mosquito sailors in NSW want to have a sail/ race. Would anybody be...
