That's right Izaak that;s the main or Big lake off the spit, I'm going down again on Monday so i'll take my GoPro on my NM attempt.

Choco,
8 words for you: one thousand eight hundred and fifty two metres ;-)

here are some dodgy pics. Tried to get a few but was too impatient to hit the water.

Mat hits the water as soon as we arrived





Hamma slews into the parking area on a mission



Cars and gear park. Spot Jimbob!

was there any video of the record runs , would be great to see , lake looks very shallow

That'd be cool Choc, look forward to ya vid
But remember what Snags said

Just looking at the numbers for tuesday at the Lake..... should be some more top speeds coming from over there. I can't make it -work sucks. I assume there will be a fair crew there? Assuming there is still enough water in the pond..
Good luck guys

Good work Tony on your NM, today a bit choppy going by the locals. Managed a 44.3 10sec with 45 peak, I had a squall all the way and felt like I was flying n lit all the way, but cut run short with a miss start getting weed off fin and not backing up 50 yards, too short.

Did a 40 NM bouncing between 41 and 37 wind up n down during run.

more to be had,,,,,

you must have been following choco on the nm he's away pulling up short .
nice numbers spotty

Hey spotty
How long you there for? Today should be good. Pretty hard work for us heavy guys to get started in the weed. Were you on the 2012 koncept 5.8 yesterday? Interesting how our peaks and 10 secs were very similar. I still recon the weed holds back the peaks a lot.
Good luck .
Cheers tony

Take off just as it gets fin deep

From inside the car at the Cocky's Point car park you can see the wheel marks in the foam that had blown in over the sand. T

his area was all dry when we arrived & before the wind started to howl

How close can I go befor running out of water

10m till you are in 10cm of water

reckon Daffy might want a copy of that one Nioice shot.

a big Salute to Tony from up here as well..amazes me how one can hold on that long and fast...kudos mate!

Congrats Tony!
I heard about your mammoth effort not just on the water but also the drive there and back in a day!

just curious is this nautical record ratified or just for gpstc

Hi
Aparently according to Daffy, GPSS are working on a world and national record ranking for the NM. When its all set up I will send them the info. I had 2 GT31 's on all day and the numbers that I uploaded were on the slightly slower one of the two (only .03 kn difference between the 2 for the Nm). Daffy and Matty took a copy of my tracks on the beach before leaving, so everything has been done as per record requisites. Should all be ok.
Cheers Tony

Re Nautical Mile records:

The WGPSSRC is working on additional record categories now. We have finalized the rules for 1 hour and 24 hour categories. We actually announced on the GPSSS forums that we were introducing those more than 12 months ago but unfortunately there have been way too many delays. We believe we have resolved this issue and I anticipate they will be officially published quite soon.
The Nautical mile is a bit more of a problem because it is a 'distance' not a 'time'. The WGPSSRC is currently committed to calling only time based records. There is ongoing discussion about whether we will introduce a time category that closely matches the Nautical mile but nothing is resolved at this time.

If you think there is a chance you would like to apply for any records or anticipated records, please make yourself familiar with the record rules, especially those regarding witnesses and swapping/saving of files before you leave the venue.
If we can establish that a candidate has followed the correct procedures, we can certainly consider a record claim where the session was sailed before the official announcement and publication of the rules.

I would be happy to hear any comments or input regarding these or any other matters regarding records.

WGPSSRC committee member.

great then am sure even the hydroptere's run surely must have been verified this way and have gone the same way it was witnessed as such

The WSSRC ratifies sailing Nautical Mile records and their measurement rules require a $60,000 Trimble survey grade GPS, the paid presence of a WSSRC commissioner during the attempt costing many thousands of dollars and a squad of technicians to post process the data. WSSRC validation rules and proceedures are completely different from those of the WGPSSRC. Our rules are designed to make Records accessible to ordinary windsurfers sailing anywhere in the world using hand held consumer technology at very modest cost.

ahh I tell you there is so much effort and money that goes for the 'record books' as well..thanks for the info..will never get a decent record if that's the case

The only "decent" record and by far the most important is the Pb record. Achieveable by all and the closest competition you will ever get.
cheers Tony
