Glenn Marney has suggested we should think of organising a Weta Nationals at Christmas 2015. Are we ready to do so?
We’d have to register as a class with YA if we want to organise our own event which means we’d need to incorporate as an Association (I checked). Of course we could just pick an existing event and specify that as being the National Championships (as other classes do) and use the insurance of the organising club and save the hassle.I’d rather have an open water venue rather than on an inland lake – sorry Canberra 😉
Until we get significant numbers in SA and WA (I can see 4 boats in WA and 1 in SA on the Weta World Map), we might switch alternate years between say, Eden (Twofold Bay) & Pittwater and SW Rocks (Trial Bay) where there are existing regattas we can tag onto which might make it more interesting and make it easier to organise.Using this “How far can I travel” calculator, I produced the map attached showing the 6 hour driving range (@80kph average) from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane respectfully. I’ve also added Eden and SW Rocks.There’s another map here which shows the locations of sailing clubs with multihulls in NSW, VIC and QLD if someone wants to suggest an alternative venue. Not that the organisers have to be a multihull club specifically but it does indicate they have the space and a suitable launching site.
