Rough spot records
Now the Tasmanians have got all their spot records documented. www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/Tasmania/GPS-Spot-Records-TAS?page=3

Good idea, but I suspect most of those spots are flat water and hence, if someone turned up expecting to have a crack, they'd need 35 knots of wind to have a chance.

With this new Smart phone technology it should be possible to include less than ideal speed courses in the mix. Less than ideal speed courses are self-limiting as far as wind goes, the average sailor will be most competitive in 20 knots of it. 30 knots is way too much.

If you turned up in Melbourne for instance and the wind was blowing 20 knots from the north, you could dial up the app that told you the Sandringham breakwater to Fawkner beacon was a local course where the record was set at 27 knots in a 22 knot northerly in 2018 by so and so. At Botany Bay, in a noreaster it might be the end of the runway to the western groyne at Kurnell. Like alpha racing there could be a 50 metre proximity around the start and end points, your Smart phone will bip when you're set to go. Performance is measured in knots so the exact start/finish line details wouldn't matter.
