23.01.2022 Thanks for forwarding the documentation regarding class rules/specifications and the revised square top rig for the Mari 5.0. This was very helpful and has enabled me to calculate a more definitive AS yardstick for the Mari 5.0 class, including the Maricat Association approved Super Sloop variant. I confirmed the stated sail areas by use of a cad program with sail measurements taken from the class rules/diagrams. I also amended my original slightly inaccurate measurements for... loa, lwl, beam and centerboard projection. My "Australian version" of the SCHRS spreadsheet was then used to calculate yardsticks for the 3 variants, all with either pin-head or sq top mainsails with areas of 14.0 m2 (pinhead) and 14.8 m2 (sq Top) + a mast area of 1.4 m2 for both. The "ready to sail" boat weight was adopted as 135 kg (Cat) and 139 kg (Sloop/Super Sloop). I believe that these figures are consistent with your provided all up boat weight of 135 kg, but is the only remaining measurement still in some doubt. However, should you have a chance to weigh one or more competitive boats as and when you have a chance, that would be much appreciated. Platform and mast (including all fittings+rigging etc) would be good enough, as I have typical measurements of the remaining fittings etc for 5m classes, such as the Taipan. The sail plan area surprised me, compared to the Taipan 4.9, and I had an earlier measurement of 4.3 m2 for the jib instead of the 4.6 m2 from class jib measurement specs. For comparison, the Taipan 4.9 has a Sq Top main of 13.5 m2 (+1.4 m2 for mast) and jib of 4.2 m2. I have revised the Australian Sailing Catamaran Yardsticks table and documentation, including adding a Super Sloop variant. The revised/additional figures are below: Maricat 5.0 Cat 79.5 NA 75 1 up trap (+2 for Pin Head) Maricat 5.0 Sloop 75 -6 133 Sloop - 2 up trap (+1 for Pinhead) Maricat 5.0 Super Sloop 74.5 NA 85 1 up trap (+1.5 for Pinhead)

11.01.2022 This is the latest rules in NSW Subject: COVID-19 - Boating Date: 2 April 2020 at 4:36:38 pm AEDT Dear Maritime partner,... Maritime Update We have been working with key stakeholders to understand how the updated Government COVID-19 restrictions apply to the boating sector. From 31 March 2020 NSW Government Public health directions have been updated requiring people to stay at home unless they have a ‘reasonable excuse’. However, as there is on land, there are exceptions that apply on water. If you go out social distancing rules always apply at the boat ramp and on your boat. You should only be on your boat alone, or with no more than one other person; or with family who ordinarily live in the same household as you. A ‘reasonable excuse’ to use your boat could be to: exercise (e.g. kayaking/sailing/paddling etc); fish; get to and from work, where the work cannot reasonably be performed from home; get groceries; and provide assistance, care or support to an immediate member of the person’s family. Unless you have an essential need to be out - stay ashore. If you do need to go out, stick to your local waters, and do not gather with more than 2 people unless with members of the same household. It is important to remember that the self-isolation rules apply at all times. Packing up your boat for a road trip and a half day fishing expedition is also not in the spirit of the restrictions. Skippers are always responsible, generally this is applied to safety equipment, keeping proper look out and proceeding at a safe speed. For the latest information on coronavirus and current restrictions, members of the community are encouraged to check the NSW Government website (http://nsw.gov.au) for regular updates. I hope this provides some clarity for you and your customers. Transport for NSW remains focused on keeping you and the customer safe as a key priority. Kind regards, Alex Barrell A/Executive Director Maritime Greater Sydney Transport for NSW 33 James Craig Road, Rozelle NSW 2039 See more
