Not sure if everyone checks the tide before they race (but you should). It was an outgoing tide all weekend running out to the heads (SE on that map). There is more tide the deeper the water gets (you can see three sections to the right of the map, pale blue, medium blue, dark blue...The darker the blue, the more effect of the tide. Watch AUS120, AUS8 and AUS4 as they tack onto port out of the start and the further they go out into the tide, the more they get lifted. Makes it easy to see why the people who went to the other side of the course in that race didn't do so well... (Race 2,3 the wind was too random to see this effect as clearly). Ok, the GPS Action Replays are (finally) up!

Managed to knock off 6 races, lots of sun and the wind speed in the low to mid teens all day. An absolute ripper!!!

They would probably do a custom colour for BJ. Toyota’s come in a range of colours including silver and navy. They would probably do a custom colour for BJ.

Personally I am sticking with the krautmobile. The hail mary every time i release the clutch is bound to do the trick. saw a nice looking hyundai van yesterday. what do u reckon sam, give the Koreans a go?
