Here's a teaser before the event starts tomorrow... double-mast breaking at the point in the background.

What great shots.

Nice clear sky,
doesn't even look like an ex-cyclone was nearby.

Wish I could be there

Wow... exceeded the bandwidth on the site in 3 days (and it's NOT a small amount of bandwidth). SUPER POPULAR!!

Getting some more which will hopefully bring us back online tonight! Stay tuned...

Photos will reappear when the site does ;-)

I like that photo of Jesper flying low over the water.
What happened today?
Very very windy in Sydney

Sadly no racing today ...

Blew 40 knots for an hour... then rained for an hour... then died off for an hour... then was 10-15 for 30 mins which got everyone excited...then came back and blew 40 knots for a few more hours.

*sigh*

Mate it's not because you're popular... It's because you're technologically retarded and don't know how to resize an image for the web unfortunately.

That is pretty harsh though the image files on the site are pretty big, ie the ones I checked all seemed to be over 50MB which is pretty huge!

Guys, the images on the photo galleries on the site are all <70kb ...

I know how to resize things...duh.

The ones I posted on this thread are the high resolution ones just for the press.

FYI we were getting about 3K uniques per day on the site.

Just posted the prizegiving pics :-))))
