SpeedFortnight 2009 final results

Firstly, thanks to the generous nature of the sponors - this year there was about $3000 in prizes given away with KA Sail, Caloundra City Sailboards, Surf Sail Australia, RPS The Board Store, Windgenuity. I also hit up Craig Hollins & Peter Johnston for a few of their specialties; GPS cases and beer.

Its great to see a local manufacturer and all of the shops around Australia get together to sponsor events such as these; the daily prizes are a fun way to get everyone together at the end of each day for a bit of off-water rivalry; and having the major prize tempt everyone to "borrow" it as they head of home, was quite entertaining.

This year we had 36 competitors submit GPS tracks, with a few more unable to make it for various reasons. It was great for so many states to be represented; Tasmaina, SA, WA, NSW, Vic... we even had Luca down from Townsville.

Banter was again at extreme levels; tech-talk was reduced somewhat without the likes of Mal Wright, Ian Knight and Tom Chalko to liven up the various fin and sail discussions... but we did have Johnny Miller talking himself up, Izaak pulling one-handed gybes for Jodie's camera and Micheal on the moving lens, all of which made up for it, especially when the day's activities hit the big-screen.

Some thanks should also go everyone -> at some point, everyone pitched in here and there... Daffy got the boat fixed (again!) so that we could get some better camera angles; Hammer's family for putting up a BBQ night; Jodie for providing quite a few pics everyday, including non-sailing days too.


The final prizes were determined by random draw; each sailor was given a ticket based on the number of days they were there. The idea is, the longer you stay, the more tickets you get....

Final Prizes:
KA Sail - Koncept 2009 4.4: Anthony Hamood
Caloundra city sailboards - Chinook mast base & 15cm extension: Michael Green
Surf Sail Australia - $200 gift voucher: Leo
Caloundra city sailboards - Select Viper 24: Nick Edwards

Thanks for pulling it all together Mat. Great to meet a few more GPS crew from interstate and join in the banter for a couple of days. Look forward to next time!!

Matt unfortunately on Seabreeze you need to add dots to make a table or else put a photo up of the spreadsheet.

Hey Mat,

Work out and post a result for accumulated places points in each division for each person.

eg:
Andrew Daff.........- 4+3+3+5+2=17
Anthony Perkins....- 7+8+8+3+3=29
Spotty................- 1+1+1+26+4= 33
Craig Hollins.........- 12+7+11+2+5= 37
Mat Robertson......- 5+4+5+10+17= 41
Shelby Riley.........- 15+19+18_12+1=65

etc, etc.

Yeah, I know it favours the all rounders who were there for most of the days, but that is the point.

I find it hard to understand how Spotty didn't get a NM result though. He thrashed us all in just about everything else.
Can you check his tracks again for a NM?
