Thanks Mick - really enjoyed that!

Cool video, thanks.

Nasty crash though, lucky to get out of that one without any injuries :)

Excelent video, thanks Drift.

I hope the wind delivers for you Hardie, I cannot imagine what it is like sailing on water that flat. I hope you can also give you alpha pb a tickle while you are there

So thats what the Hard one looks like
I think the Roaches have found a new media star in Rexy, what a screen presence!!
Very nice vid too.

awww hammas a good bloke- he was worried about your lens cracking

Excellent Vid, Love the Died Pretty soundtrack too. Were the other boys too shy????

Too shy????
A certain sailor from South Australia (not to mention any names Hamma) was seen doing about 100k's out of the car park as soon as he saw me with a camera!

mick

Wow he must be sick........he's attracted to camera's like bugs to a light

A quick update. 20 kt SE wind today so sailing on the east bank with the fast guys getting mid 30,s.We had a late night at Hamma,s place so most of the crews were a bit slow onto the water...well i was. Thanks for the BBQ. Not much wind for the next few days so I,ve ducked home to catch up with the family. Its being really good to see a lot of new speed sailors comming down to this gathering and i hope we will see many more give it a go in our "non competive" environment. Next bit of wind looks to be Wednesday. Sorry for the lack of info but the internet access is very limited and we would rather be sailing/drinking/socialising and GO karting. We miss ya Al

A long time no see visitor turned up at Sandy Point yesterday. Al Gleason, who came to all the early speed trials, brought with him some old video footage of Sandy Point events in the late 80's, early 90's, some of which I had never seen before. There is actual video footage of the big day in 89 when Mal did 41.9 knots, exceeding the existing world record (Erik Beal - 40.48 kts) by quite a bit. In interesting interview with a very young looking Peter Dans as well and much more. I am working feverishly to convert and upload the segments of video. Stay tuned.

Thanks Sailquik, enjoyed muchly - looking forward to the rest.

Here is another slant on speedsailing at a different venue while I am waiting for the others to upload.
Interesting and with the PERFECT music track!
