Campers at Pt. Elliot: after re-reading the information posted previously (see below) MCASA has received info from the camp site as follows: The Manager has confirmed we have a specific site for the Mossie sailors - 3 to 4 Campervan powered sites and around 7 Tent sites maybe 1/2 powered. The bookings are from the 3rd to the 8th with an extension of one day possible after that if needed. This would be the 9th. The place is totally booked out so it will be first in will get the good spots - but people will need to tell them the booking is for the Mossie Sailors.

Sailing Instructions
After some negotiation with several sailing clubs, MCASA is pleased to announce they have won the support of Victor Harbor Yacht Club to host the 2021-22 Mosquito Catamaran Nationals. The club has demonstrated very keen enthusiasm to support our fleet understanding the challenges that have been experienced by many organising bodies over the past year. Interest has also been expressed by the Yvone Catamaran class to utilise the club's facilities and sailing waters at the same time. This shared situation has been gratefully accepted by the VHYC as they are known to have a good fleet of Yvonnes that, on their own, would not conduct a national title.
After consultation with VHYC, the Notice of Race has been finalised and can been found here. Please note from the NoR, Registration and Measuring day is the 3rd. A welcome evening (BBQ?) is being planned, possibly at the close of registration and measuring. Presentation evening is programmed for the 8th, following the final day's sailing. This will be at the club also. As mentioned in the Port Elliot camping document (see below), boats can be safely left fully rigged on the VHYC lawns, having easy and direct access to the beach. See a photo here.
Accommodation: Victor Harbor is a popular holiday destination during the year and particularly over the Christmas/New Year holiday period. With that situation in mind, the Port Elliot Showgrounds has been approached and they have agreed to 'block out' a large space for those who wish to access camping options during the week, both powered and non-powered sites. Details of this camping option can be found in a seperate document here. Accommodation in Victor Harbor and its precincts can be accessed via the usual processes. Start here?
As further details are finalised they will be posted here and with announcements on the Mosquito - the racing catamaran Facebook page. MCASA invites all sailors of the Mosquito Catamaran to partake in these nationals, keeping smart and healthy over the winter months to ensure the event will be a success for all particpants and their families. VHYC will make you all feel most welcome to its historical seaside town at the southern tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia.
