Anyone got a weather forecast ?

There will be wind.

Varying from 0-100 knots.

There will be current. Going either N, S, E and or W.

There shouldn't be anything relating to my image. But who knows.

Fast downwind to the corner of Tassie

Then hard on the nose for the finish

 

[BlueBoy]

And Rob Mundle will write an article (if he hasn't done so already) about a race record attempt by WOXI..........................

 

[pull your main on !]

one thing guaranteed about the great race is that the boxing day Chanel 7 race coverage will only consist of 2 or maybe 3 boats.

How randy are the penguins this year?

 

[BvanVugt]

Anyone need crew?

Will the forecast favour the quicker or slower boats. It would be useful to start optimising the rating now.

I understand sunfish can influence Aussie yacht races. Any news on their migration patterns.
