I know all that
I manage a sailing school before in Sydney, and used to taking the people swiming with the daufins in Port Steven..
i have the cowsain certificate ..
i am just putting somes idea and infos , to see who would be interested,

it is not a question of investment , as i have the boat and will buy an other one anyway, just sharing some sailing .
not everything is about money and profit

hi Catherine
have just seen your offer and understand some of your problems with Noosa Yacht club I also have offered my help there.
Could you please e-mail me at [email protected] Ill send you an e-mail detailing my background etc.
I live in Marcus Beach so I assume your pretty close.
Happy Sailing
Robert

Hi Catherine, I think what your doing is great and it's one of the most rewarding thing's about having a boat is to share the experence with others. I have made many freinds this way and have place's to stay at in many countries

one could always go to the Noosa yacht club , well they are "tuff" and "ruff" , and take themself too seriously for me as if their little regata is their ego trip,

this is not my scene at all, even when i am racing..
when i offer my help and service to thatNoosa yacht club, they told me , i could be a crew ..humm ..women can not be skipper there..
well they can keep their 'old boys club"

Hi Cathy
If you own your own boat why did you need to skipper another boat at Noosa and if you were new to the club why would they let you skipper anyway - Name me a Yacht Club where you just turn up and they hand you the tiller!!!
Noosa has 2 Club owned Blazer 23' which are used for youth development training and racing not for anybody to just turn up and sailaway.

For people that have some of the nicest sailing waters around, you queensland yachties are an uptight bunch aren't you. Particularly Cisco. What a know it all racist biggot.

SailingNoosa Paul?
I was offering to volunteer my time, I never got to speak to anyone at the yacht club, yourself included. I did leave sailing C.V. with you but never heard anything back, from anyone.
I'm an AYF oceanyachtmaster at the least and as you have read or maybe read my C.V. you know my background, just because i dont have apiece of paper saying that I can teach sailing doesnt mean that i cant.
Dont really want to get into a debate about the bureaucracy behind it all.
Sorry I couldnt be of help to you and the youth around Noosa, thats all.
Robert

Hi robert
i just realised the post by Dear SIR calling himself "sailingnoosa"
Well , if this nasty agressif post is a reflextion of sailing in Noosa ..
let's just forget about it
and Lake Cootharaba are great people , very friendly
so
www.lcsc.org.au


anyway
i am off sailing to NZ and then to the States to buy a bigger boat to sail back , so who care about the "bigotte " of Noosa sailing club ..

dear sir
i NEVER say that Aluminium boat where no good, off course not !!
Why and where did you get the idea i critisise Aluminium boats???

there are in my opinion one of the best material , and indeed Aluminum boat are very popular in France ,and you can buy them at any stage of finition, there are countless of Aluminium design boats in France , and they are very much thought after for long distance cruising
I have few friends with Aluminium boat and even with ferro boat too


i ONLY say that : i will not buy one MYSELF.
i do not know enough about them as long time maintenance, and i do not know to weld ..ect,,ect..
i build and repair plywood,timber, fiberglass, composite boat..and it is enough knowlegde at this time for me ..
i prefere to deal with what i am more familiar with for the time beeing.

Yeah, I am with Cisco on this one and one other thing, it should not matter if you can spel or not.

Whilst on the subject of sailing, does anyone know of any good social sailing events taking place around Sydney Harbour for Australia day Long weekend?

Or any short cruises going up or down the coast looking for more boats to partake.

Regards

Manni

Why aren't all of you people out doing what you claim to love?? Sailing!!

Why aren't I...before my comment is countered in this hotly debated thread?

Because DH is in a big pooey mood and has run off with the boat keys..[}:)]
