The Great Race
Results
Word is that it is a course record!
Conditions were generally 15-20 knots from the east. Those that experienced it can give a better indication.
Jack also competed finishing in 2:53:20, about 8th across the line.
Rob Green also competed, however succumbed to the conditions and pulled in to Victoria Point, about half way, after too many crashes.
Markla and I piked on the Great Race, preferring to sail at Lake Samsonvale on the Sunday. We had our own mini marathon that was completed in about an hour. Not much of a marathon so they sent us out again for a course race. I spent the race chasing A's, losing to them upwind (geez they can point), and catching them downwind, (hunting the wind pays in marginal stuff). Markla spent the day in the piss, I think he's forgotten how to sail on flat water since the nationals.
Sounds pretty epic.
