Hi ,
GPSTC administration would you consider a change that may bring some more interest in the teams challenge.
Noted in the rules the International teams receive 4 discards a year assuming this was due to Northern winter?
Australian teams are only allowed 1 which for many sailing locations really is not enough considering months of no wind.

Looking at local weather in SEQ and FNQ there are times of year where unless you travel a 1000km plus you just don't not get much sailing for months.
In SEQ we used to get regular westerly winds however with climate patterns moving further south this is just not happening regularly.
