Congratulations to FNQ for winning the Winter Cup for 2010!!

Every July has been winter cup month and because I was on holidays in early July, I forgot to just remind GTC, expecting poor Nebbs had done it, but its MY JOB


Great to have a Qld team win some silverware, I'll have it engraved during the week, and send it out, so PM me for the address to send it to!

Congratulations to FNQ for winning the Winter Cup for 2010

I'm just so happy for my mob wining the cup, thanks Hards & Nebs
I'd like to thank the guys who sailed in very strong winds on speed boards 8km across open water so they could then go for it over shallow reef, the effort for distance finishing in the dark, the others who added to our points and the rest of our great team

I'd especially like to thank Kamikaze Cam for his huge effort with Green Island Speed Week and aligning the moons, thanks mate

And if you think this is a big thing for us you'd be dam right

Somehow the point that these guys sailed over 8km one way in the roughest open ocean on speed gear just to get to the spot and then had the balls to do speed runs in 30cm of water over the reef might be lost on you. To top it off another one of the crazy bastards had to rig his cambered racing sails in chest deep water and still have the energy to punch out some incredible speeds.

Credit where credits due.

Good stuff FNQ! Hoping for more wind down here so we can at least have a crack in the spring.

I wasn't aware of that.
Yes, that definitely shows true dedication to the cause and deserves recognition.
Well deserved congratulations FNQ mob!

Don't mind me, I'm just suffering from wind deficiency syndrome...
I'll just go back to my cave and hibernate a bit longer.
