That head wind was a killer Was that the new fanatic you where on? Looked a lot different to this years model. Dale seems to be onto something with his new shapes too.

Thanks to everyone who turned up and braved the killer headwind and crappy tide to get points on the board for the first round of SUPSA's Club Championship Race Series for 2012. I can't say I was disappointed to be sitting on the sidelines today, you guys are all champions for having a go!
