Great session Guys!!

Very nice Alpha Decrepit! You were on fire alright!
Likewise Nebbian. Another great Alpha. Congratulations to both on PB's.

Elmo 'Elmo'd" the others in style!

An excellent 5 x 10 to Hardie and a great NM! You guys are killing us on the NM. We will have to do something about that soon......[}:)]

We've had 3 weeks of you guys looking up the ladder at our hairy freckles, it had to happen sooner or later.

Well done boys

Waiting for Snides to post... he might just tip the balance I think.

That alpha felt fast, but the arc was very long and drawn out, I was sure that I'd missed the 50m proximity on the way back.
This time I was concentrating on a high entry leg speed, and it paid off Really happy to crack 23. Even happier to beat Elmo for once!

...hmmm, I was a bit quick to assume SRM would snatch top spot (how conceited!), but we are right on your ass Mandurah so keep your eye on the rear view mirror - and congrats on all the PBs and a great sail by you guys today.

I have to admit, Woodies was glassy smooth and solidly 33 knots on my anemometer as I left -if it wasn't for the six foot breaking swells that had to be negotiated to actually get on to the speed course for every run, it would have been the stuff of dreams!

I have to add - what a day!

Have counted 48 PBs so far on the website!

Was that the best seabreeze of the summer?

How was young Tim's session, he was grinning from ear to ear.
Lucky he didn't crash as the grin was that big, reckon he would have swallowed have the Hardies run in one gulp.
He went past me on one run, felt like I was slogging it up hill he was moving that fast.
Be keen to see Snides post, when I left he was going back for seconds Reckoned he was going to squeeze every bit out of the breeze

Not too much damage I hope. Then again a small price to pay for runs he was doing. Young bull, no fear
I lost traction on my 33 knot run and baulked out (cout clenched up a tad.

That's a MONSTER of a nautical mile, snides! 3rd in the individual rankings isn't a bad effort at all!

Well done

Well done fellow MM. I'm glad you guys scored.

Down my way things didnt fire up so much. Being Southerly it was the wrong direction for the run, so i was sailing in knee+ high chop. I was not over powered on a 6.4m.

Guess you just have to allow for the Bunno factor.

I was rigging up the 7.7m(it was very light) when Elmo called saying hardies was alltime. I hung up and decided to rig the 6.4m in the hope it would pick up. The gusts got to maybe 20knts.

Any way congrats to all who got PB's
I need a good day at Hardies real bad!!!![}:)][}:)]

yep well done to all the guys who made it out yesterday ,lots(dozens!!) of p.b's...it s awesome watching every one have a great sail and then watching them hit the beaches with massive smiles and words of encouragement for each other...
i rekon the wind we got yesterday was the first real (25kn+) wind for the year and prob only the second or third for the summer...it reminded me of what the summers use to be like
bring on hardies with a similar breeze and a slightly lower tide

So many people to congratulate.
SRM and MM keep raising the bar as we try and drag our way up to it.
Decrepit is an inspiration. I am determined to reach his level and he keeps pulling away, well done to you and Hardie on the Nmile and a top performance from Snides.
Good to meet up with Graceman and Pointman both posting PB's.
Hope the smiles last until the next good blow.

Be grateful we only set our Super Pensioner and resident Computer Geek out to take up your short lived challenge boys.

Robin was all feisty this morning after reading some of the comments and wanted to rip into you.
