Rachel,



Congratulations on your purchase. You question asks many questions. Do you
intend to race your boat or just social cruising? Best to take some images
for the sections you want to repair and post them up for comment.  There is
nothing and surprising with these boats and most of the issues have been
dealt with many and varied ways.



Regards



Tim

Subject: [CorsairAustralia] Corsair - Sail # 531 - HISTORY PLEASE





Hi Everyone,

Wow, new site! This is much different from the old QCA site.

I've just bought Corsair #531 and I'd love to hear from anyone whose seen
this boat in action, especially from anyone whose sailed or owned this boat!

I've changed the name from "Cruzin Blue" to "Ginja Ninja" - yes bad luck and
all that I know, but I'd imagaine this boat has had a few names over its
life, so one more shouldn't make too much difference.

The sails are in immacualte condition, but less could be said for the boat
itself, it could be great if anyone with tips for fixing hulls ect could let
me know what they did and how effective it was!

Thanks Guys.
Rachael

Hi Sailors, the 41st National Championship notice of race 2010 is
uploaded on this side.
The last time that the national were held in Budgewoi was in 2005/06.
This was a very successful event and we hope  that it will be bigger
next year.

Go Sailing go Corsair

Cheers Doreen

QLD Corsair State Championship 09

It has been necessary to change the venue for this years Corsair State
Championship.  After numerous discussions with the Keppel Bay Sailing
Club
we both came to the conclusion that it would not be financially
viable for either organisation to go ahead with the regatta at
Yepoon.  My thanks go to Sue Germain (secretary of  Lake Cootharaba)
who helped secure our new venue at short notice.  I have attached a
preliminary Notice of Race as LCSC have not officially released
details of the regatta, however we are not expecting any changes from
last year.  This being the case I am expecting to see the Corsair
Association well represented at  JOCK JUMPING competion  on Sunday
night.  Please don't leave your training to the last
minute, technique is very important.

The NSW Corsair Association held their state championship in February
at the Budgewoi Sailing Club with 8 boats making up the fleet.  As
their state championship has already been sailed I will be extending
an invite to any NSW boats which may like to journey north (Lake
Cootharab is just like Budgewoi).  I have already heard from the boys
from Airlie Beach and they will be making the trip south at Easter,
so it should be an exciting event.

(See attached file: NOR State Championship 2009.doc)

State River Titles

Due to bad weather the Corsair State River Titles on the Maroochy
River was cancelled this month.  This regatta has been enjoyed
especially by our younger members for many years.  As a result I have
asked Maroochy Sailing Club to confirm a new date for this event and
they are now going back to their executive committee to decide on a
date.  So watch this space.

Joanne

I could not find a boat so I bought a 505 instead.

Hello Everyone...

I am trying to find someone who can assist me with a beach dolly for
my Vagabond. Can anyone in the group point me in the right direction?

Regards
John Blyth

Hi Tim
Not sure this the best place to suggest a web community with a lot of
advice on boat repairs but I have always found great tips and sources
of information on this sort of topic at www.trailersailerplace.com.au
It is free to sign up or guests are able to browse the general forum
topics and is an invaluable source of information.

Dear All

Can anyone provide guidance on the best material to repair some small
scratches and scrapes on a Corsair hull?

Can you just use some resin or is it best to dig out the scratch a
little deeper and put some glass fiber in first and then resin on top?

Thanks for any advice

Tim

Hi,
Some years ago I tracked down a equipment supplier for corsairs to a
business who were in Box Hill South Vic and have moved to Mitcham in
Vic. I think called "Blue Waters Marine" Might be a place to Start.
