Race 5 is being 'created' by my video editing software 0.1 sec at a time and my hard drive sounds like it's about to explode!

Fantastic effort especially to Kaleb for organising another brilliant event, you guys sure are setting yourselves up for Green Island.
My apologies again for pulling out I was torn with that decision even though I would have been at the back of the field it's great to see you guys taking the sport to another level and Buzzy you're a machine but keep a close eye on the young guns give them a couple of years and they'll be hard to beat and Kazza it's a pity not more girls to back you up but you still manage to crap on most of the guys

Race 5: Quite a lot of nothing at times, but a good start, gybe mark and finish

Fantastic day of racing. Well done Buzzy winning it outright and job well organized, but I would like to see heats so I can stand around more and get freezing coldha ha ha.....not! Thanks Russ, Easty, Jodie & shorty for standing around getting cold judging us, fantastic job.
Feel a tad bugged today for some funny reason.
Bloody hell I'm going to have to upgrade to a nice new 5.6 so I can try and keep up with you guys more, the first leg you guys were absolutely honking leaving me for dead, you all just disappeared into the horizon, I'm just so amazed with you all the speed you can create going upwind.

A little injury from sailing Cliffy on Saturday kept me away from Cremorne beach on Sunday, so went and watched the Slalom guys (and Kaza) do their stuff, and man, 6 back to back races in that wind was just full on. Well done to all those that competed, and as for Caleb, what can you say, maybe he needs to be handicapped for the next event. Having brought some second hand slalom gear it is great fun, but unless you can put some big breaks between races, this old fart will gladly watch.

RACE 5 REVIEW

After constant review we have replaced sailors from race 5. Please have a look at the video from race 5.

The new placings for race 5 are as follows

1 Kaleb
2 Dave
3 Izaak
4 Jordan (was in 7)
5 Perks
6 Will
7 James (was in 4)
8 Steve

To my old eyes James with white helmet and Reflex 4 is clearly in 7th position. Jordan with no helmet was in 4th position.
I will post the overall results later today with the ammended placings unless there is a challenge to my findings.

Yep white helmet must be James, we probably mixed up the two J's in the excitement. Apologies to all concerned.

Final Results Round 1 Slalom
(Izaak has dropped a race, just missed the line before posting image)

I think Severne need to come out with some diffirent colour sails next year to help us old farts on shore pick one red sailor sail from another.

Sorry James and Jordan we did our best

Cheers Russ

Thanks Buzzy for posting the results, vezzy interesting.

Russ didn't you know red goes faster

most of us had sail numbers its not that hard

Can't see sail numbers when sails are sheeted in and coming towards you.
Especially at a distance.
By the time you get to shore and stop, other sailors have crossed the line or are crossing.

How about binoculars? I had some in my car too.
