Awesome Adam! and everyone else involved in running this completion!

Ahh, just to clarify something, does it mean that the sailor has to be NSW based, the team has to be NSW based, or that the location of the GPS tracks have to be NSW based?

Thanks Formula Nova for your interest. I think, for simplicity sake, all of the above. We'll keep this as a NSW comp. Competitors and locations within NSW only. Other states can start up their own competitions perhaps.

No worries. I just wanted to check to see if the annual trip to WA would count :)

Is the ACT Gustbusters a "NSW" team? (I just checked GPSTC site, and it seems it is)

Dale the ACT Gustbusters are a nsw team , i hope your points are counted because we have a good chance of taking the points for December & January

Keef, I guess I had better get out there and do some sailing! Send me a week of noreasters and I will go down to SP. Unfortunately most of the years sailing gets done n another state

Great idea guys. Not much chance for Lake Illawarra guys - the fast conditions are in the winter! We'll give it a red hot go, anyway
My plans for 400km in a day may have to be moved forward !!!! (Watch out MT!)

The other "measurement" that may be worth thinking about is total kms sailed over the 2 months - great incentive to get people on the water!! Also good for work slackers, (like me! ), or people with long service leave (old ba@#$rds !)

Adam,

I think it would be good to crown a winning Team for the two months as well - would help to promote the camaraderie side of the GPSTC, which is one of the reasons it has been such a success.

Would also encourage more people to come to the end of season presentation/party so they can stand on stage as part of the winning team.

Sue, you'd be very welcome in the Lake Macquarie team. Be warned though, it can be a bit addictive!

Depending on your budget there are a few options for a GPS that will work for the competition. Ranging from $250 downwards.

cheers

I think I'd be demoralised at my lousy speeds..I bash myself up enough about my gybing so I don't want another thing for the perfectionist to start about..

good to see the trophy guy STILL sailing
