Hey Hardie, I have a question regarding this competition. Do you increase your chances of winning by having multiple sessions posted here? Because if you don't then it's becoming a bit boring seeing people posting every single session they ever sail. If in fact it does increase your chances then that's fine, I myself then have some work to do to post all mine.
Would be great if you could clear that up please.

i NEVER STIPULATED ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, BUT MY IDEA WOULD BE YOU ONLY HAVE TO POST ONCE TO BE ELIGIBLE, AND MULTIPLE POSTS SHOULDN'T INCREASE YOUR CHANCES. sO IF your name is in here once or 50 times it only goes in once into the hat for the draw.

If you wanna post here it's OK too coz I geuss it gives the MFC exposure. But there is the other thread which isn't much used which is supposed to be for general posting.

Surley, since it's a "Storm Challenge", you would have to be using sub 5.0 sails (Or slightly bigger form cammed/race sails)?
Anything bigger barley counts as storm conditions!

Come to Woodies in 30Knt+
I dare you to run anything bigger when there is decent chop.
How else can you define "Storm conditions"?
