Graeme will add these to his spreadsheet but I think the overall title is still up for grabs!!!
Last race will be 3 weeks from now as I will be away in 2 weeks sampling some WA winds. Final Race date is Friday 18th Feb Racing will start at approx 5.00pm, if there is no wind racing will be postponed to the following Friday (25th).
So what is the go with the race boards? has anyone used them for the races?? why does it look like everyone is on twin tips??
Here are the results after race 5
It's still very close since the final result is based on competitors best 4 results only.
I think it's good to have it the way it is. Not everybody wants to fork out money for a raceboard just so they can be competitive in a fun race.
Those on raceboards should learn how to go downwind better. I've been practicing but it's freaking hard!!! Its like learning all over again.
In saying that I missed last week so you're all going down in another fortnight?
The only thing I don't like is trying to take off at that starting area. If you're the highest upwind and in the water it's a huge advantage, but to get there you've literally got to muscle the others out of the way.
If I had bigger guns I'd be belting people out of the way and would win with my eyes closed. Marine, Rick and Rich are just bigger than I am...
just curious... what happens in the event of a tie>>??
Rick comes first he ties me for first on 6 points...
Marine comes first she ties me for first on 6 points...
Is this thing on? Haven't heard and this southerly looks like it may be a real fizzer according to BOM. Bet the Newy crew would like to know its on asap. They wouldn't want to come the whole way to sydney with 5-10 knots especially after going to WA for the same.
Don't you worry about that richie, the newy crew are always keen
Well at least one of them anyway 
especially if it's about 14knts
But have sent a few txt out asking for others to also make the trip down
Did speak to Steve on way back from WA and he reckons it was on, but will depend on the wind tomoz
Check your inboxes kiddies!
Sent an email to all the race peeps about 2 hrs ago, your email bounced Ric??
I'll be making a final call on the race by 1.00pm if you have not heard by then call the shop.
What email did you send mine through to Steve? I haven't received anything yet. jeff_hill82 at hotmail . com is probably the best one for me.
Nah the winds not holding up here its just continuing to drop and as it swings to the East will hang in there but well under 10 knots, not enough for a final (or any race really). I will send an email (added yours Jeff) to the race series list I have by 1.00pm today cancelling the race and proposing that it is held tomorrow instead.
So with a NE predicted the final will be held tomorrow so long as Richie, Ric and Marine can attend (each has potential to win the series). Probably kick off around the same time, because everyone has that in their heads, or would racers prefer to start a bit earlier being the weekend?
We need as many starters as possible though, just to keep it interesting, pressure the top riders and also to let people feel how much fun it is to race, even on TT's.
Can you make it tomorrow Ric?? Please send me your phone number too.
Yep can make it anytime tomorrow I am easy pleased
Although I was looking forward to putting a seabreeze to use in some waves
