Ha, just doing a little research myself

I think Craig Hammond is the only person to break 40 for the first time in NSW

It was a pb, 40.10, I think he did it at Illawarra back when him and Leo were going for it

Well done Craig, I think your the only person in the universe that has done that..................


Edit, Craig may have been the first, MT of Illawarra speedstars may have broken 40 for himself for the first time sailing in NSW as well

Well done MT

I think Nathan Browness broke 40 at foreshore drive for the first time breaking 40 for himself

Well done Nathan Browness

as far GPSTC data is concerned, 10 nsw sailors have broken forty, with Sam Parker the fastest at 46.87 kts, achieved at Sandy pt

does anyone know what the fastest speed on nsw is?

And where it was done?

Well done to all that have broken 40, and good luck to all that are still working towards it,

EDIT, the fastest speed sailed in NSW was by LEO, 42.72kts at Primbee

Well done LEO, the fastest anyone has sailed on NSW waters

Hasn't the southerly made it up there yet?

I don't see many black nor easters pushing past forty, southerlies can get strong,

but I think your strongest wind is from the west, a bit of north, a bit of south, but predominately from the west

Plenty of westerlies regularly push past 40 upto 50kts

Most of the above sailors have gone faster, just not on NSW waters, and most had to leave the state to break forty initially,

Budgey, Foreshore Drive, Primbee, Harrington, 40 has been done on those bodies of water

I'm not sure, but I also think 40 has been done narra lakes, taren pt

I'm not sure who was really the first sailor to break 40 on NSW waters, or where they did it.

They are great teams STU777,

but lets not forget about Double Demerits, great looking team

Lake Macquaire, great team, a few guys have broken 40, a few close to it

And please, lets not forget this months highest ranked NSW team, the magnificent mid north central coast maurders

No one has broken forty on that team, but there is genuinely a dozen or so working towards it, some from up north are real close, same with at the central coast,

The thread is just to celebrate all the great sailors from NSW that have worked hard and broken forty

The thread is also to celebrate all those who genuinely want to achieve this, good luck

It can be done, at a variety of locations as some of the great NSW GPS sailors have proven

Sorry Milsy I didn't mean to leave anyone out. I'm only commenting what's happening at our local speed strip. I know there are plenty of great sailors and teams in NSW, and more than one spot to crack 40. Go for it people!

Found an old session from 2006 with a 43.4.
Remember it being cold and bleak.
Pretty sure Ricky Boy had a couple about that.

Lake Dangerous record by Rick

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, it looks like my initial summary is not correct

11 Hellman from the Priemer State over 40kts

The first to break forty on NSW waters, Sam Parker, 2006

The fastest speed on NSW waters, Sam Parker, 43.6kts

The fastest NSW sailor has ever gone.........Sam Parker, 46.7kts at Sandy Pt Vic,

at this stage, Craig Hammond is the first to break forty for himself on NSW waters,

Sam, Rick, I'm not sure, Did you guys go out of state for your first time, hehe, possibly a mountain, hehe,
No, seriously, I'm not sure if these two living legends broke forty for themselves on NSW waters, or if they had to go out of state to break forty initially

thank you to everybody for your information

Good luck to all the GPS sailors

sams is a awsome sailor (speed specialist) not to mention hes good at formula too .

Hey Milsy,
this was my first 41.5 at St George Sailing Club NSW. 29 nov 2007
gpsteamchallenge.com.au/sailor_session/show?date=2007-11-23&team=5

Wow PUBMENACE just posted that he did exactly the same thing,but he has now deleted his post.
I wonder if WOOD DUCK will claim he did 41.5 next.

You might be fast but you're kinda slow.

if his guilty of some poor behaviour at the weekend race meet, and yeah, his guilty!!, so be it , he should be judged on those actions alone, not as well as you don't like him, oh and he has upset some people with posts on seabreeze, whats that got to do with anything,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Aus4, Wood Duck, whatever, he is no way the most offensive person on seabreeze, and his not the only one with multiple logins,

What punishment did NSW racing end up giving to the JP importer?

NSW racing is lucky to have Rick, it gives them some credibility, whatever

Congratulations ! Mark Jordan can travel into the future !

The Taswegians keep a catalogue of spot records around the state (35kts+ qualifies for the list)

With the research you guys have already done you could do the same
