Hi all,

After Craig Hollins contacted The Age about the unique use of GPS units in speed sailing they are running a story today in the Livewire section (Green Guide). Should be good they have interviewed Craig, Tom Chalko, Mick Green, Spotty and myself (cause they think I am a freak to follow you guys around the country), so I hope it is informative and inspires other 'geeks' to get into the sport.

Haven't seen it yet but looking forward to seeing the sport get some exposure.
Jodi :)

Correction Jodi
As Mr. Green's press secretary I would like to point out that we refer to Mick Green as Mr. Green as per the Green Guide article. Can you please ensure that you make a retraction on your previous comments and send your apologies to Mr. Green.

Nice to see a newspaper article about something you know about that isn't full of rubbish.

Congratulation to all involved.

GT 31 50.01 Garmin 49.9

Must be different software reads different, with my Garmin I use "Load My Tracks" and "GPSARpro2" and it always reads less than my GT31. The Garmin top speed after download in mostly always the same as on the units screen.
