Congrat’s to all the winners. We were with you in spirit on the night (from somewhere around Kempsey…).

I’d just like to say thanks to all involved for making us welcome and especially Brett & crew for putting on such a great series. We’ll be back…

Can someone get Anthony W to post the photos he took from the finish line on Saturday? I think he might have caught the rare sight of John and I planing :)

Ok, I just put the GPS Action Replays up (finally)!

Check out the wind shift in Race 4, half way up the first beat. Me and Parker are running straight from the startline to the top mark and then about 3/4 along we get about a 60 degree shift. Ouch. All went pear-shaped after that…

Good times.

GPS races are great….I like the one where AUS-3 drops his rig for 2min’s then sail a huge lift for a victory…Not that i am bitter….

Speaking of GPSAR, for any tech-heads out there, I’ve written an article on exactly how to setup the GPSAR’s all the way from raw unedited tracks, to the finished product with maps on the screen:

Its a little bit of an arduous process, but we’d love it if some other people could learn the ropes so that we could share the workload a little. Got 6 months to train up anyhow, and I’m sure this winter is going to be bitterly cold ;)
