i have ckecked the file and the 2 sec speed seems ok. surprised that the GPS didnt measure one single Alpha..

Well done Hooksey.

Congratulations Hooksey! What GPS were you using?

If you like you can email me your file and I will check it.

Well done to Wingman, Andy and Lukie. 

Tough conditions today but great to se you getting out and giving it a go.

Nailing Water starts = Heaps more energy for longer sails and more time on water. Yeew!

Big kms Alan welldone

Wow Alan nice PB - I dont think I even saw you the whole day!

Well done on the distance Alan!

Well done Alan, you must have been moving all the time !

made the old mistake of believing the forecasts a little too much I think

Great going at being out today Wingman, Andy and Lukie.

JJ I hope the back is ok, I only stayed in close and it seemed surprisingly choppy today, may be to do witht he wind being in so early. I dont know which ocean hooksey was in, not the same one I was bouncing around in I think !

Summers nearly here !

Awesome km Pb there Alan, and great numbers all round!  Biiig stuff!! Hooksey, if that is legit, that's an amazing speed considering how rough today was! I must have spent more time in the air than on the water out the back at Sb!!

Huge effort in less than ideal conditions, everyone. Good to see so many got out. Looks like my sacrifice paid off wind wise.

Andy, Lukie and Wingman - hard work for you today but it all makes you better sailors in the long run.

JJ, amazing nm in ocean chop. That's worth a 35 kn nm at Coodanup any day! I hope the back is OK tomorrow.

Alan - I'm glad someone went to Coodanup but why didn't you tell anyone you were going for distance? I hate to see that big effort not adequately backed up. Congrats on the PB by the way - I know you were wanting to get 150 km. And good work on the hour and naughty also - 3 beans - well done!

Jake the going at SB must have been really tough for you to only get a 20 knot hour. 76 km in that is a good workout!

Haha, nah wasn't that tough! I got off a few times to chat with a friend  

Super kms Alan, good numbers all around. Well done on NM bean

Hooksey, huge congrats, I hope it checks out - that's a stunning ocean speed on big gear, AFAIK only Slowy has managed similar speed at Leighton/Dutchies

Huge ocean speed, Hooksey! Dutchies, the new speed strip!

Great set of numbers, AC1! Looks like you have found your spot for a good workout.

Hi Anita,

I hadn't planned to do a distance yesterday as I was practicing my gybing for the first 4 hours, but when I came in to pack up at 4.30 I noticed I had over 120km, so back out I went for some longer reaches and try for a distance PB.

4 hours of shortish runs with heaps of gybes is definetly the wrong way to start a distance PB though, may hands were so sore by the end I had to stop even though there was still plenty of wind and daylight.

Alan - four hours of gybe practice - respect! It's amazing how the distance racks up when you sail nonstop, and it isn't boring when you are working on other things

Thanks to Anita and Mark for looking at my file. I thought i was going fast but not 36knt fast. Still a great session and heaps of fun!
