While we might be striving to better 50knots, please take time-out to appreciate the feats of Ocean Racing Ferrari’s.

In late October, Ericsson 4 broke through the 600 Nautical Mile Barrier – try doing that on a windsurfer. That’s an average 25knots per hour for 24hrs straight. Read more

SA Summer GPS Series

November 28, 2008

sa-gps-series-08-09-small

1/Dec/2008 to 28/Feb/2009
Starboard are the proud sponsors of this competition. You can sail anywhere + anytime throughout Summer in South Australia and post your track to either GPSSS.com or GTC or email them to me, and I will collate all the tracks and information over the Summer and provide a result at the end of the season. Highest numbers across the board win…….but it’s not about winning, it’s about getting out there and having fun.

Divisions of 2 sec, 5×10sec, NM, 1Hr, Alpha 500 + Distance. Highest results per category are then totalled for each competitor to provide a ‘point’ score for the season. These will then form a ranking at the end of the season.

You must be a current financial member of Windsurfing SA or affiliate
www.windsurfing.org/files/SA_MSHIP.pdf

Trackpoint only as some sailors have GPS units that are not doppler enabled.

So get out there, and get your speed up and your distance.
