Lets get behind Kaleb and Dave our team mates going for it in Henty on the Golden Mile tomorrow.

All the best boys!!!!!

I am going to give a $50 prize to the person who picks closest to the Nautical mile speed average between both in knots. To enter there must be a genuine well wish for the boys and an Nautical mile speed average.

Why not have fun as well picking the highest peak speed of both for $10 as well.

My estimate is 37.58 knots average GO BOYS!!!!!!!!

Peak 2 sec 46.85 Knots

Cheers Russ

Yeah good luck with the conditions guys, I personally delivered (from one end of the state to the other) Kaleb's new speed weapon in time for him to take it, so am expecting some impressive numbers.
I'll go 36.69 for the mile.

Max speeds:
Dave - 45.50
Johno - 40.05
Kaleb - 40.05
now that would be 3 happy amigos!

Good morning all Overcast with rain and a little bit of wind around, hopeing to head off about 7 this morning.
I have to thank Easty for bringing my board down to Hobart, cheers mate very much appreciated. And thanks to Vando(QLD) for getting my fin to me in time
Dave is preparing himself by snoring! Anthony and Izaak are still tucked up in bed. My ADHD kicked in about 4am after going to bed at 1.30. I found it so much easier talking to Dave about windsurfing than it is to talk at Jodi about it
My personal goal for first tme in flat water:
38 knot 2sec
33 NM
any thing higher is a bonus.

Tasmanian records for sailors(actually done in Tasmania that is):
Dave; 2sec=41.75, NM=32.16
Anthony; 2sec=41.71, NM=30.095
Izaak; 2sec=39.902, NM=28.965
Johno; 2sec=38.6, NM=27.132
Kaleb; 2sec=35.82, NM=30.29

Update; Daves up!

No idea because I'm not sure how it all works yet. I'll vote Kaleb the fastest because I know how devoted he is to being the fastest.

One thing that is looking very likely is that Kaleb and Dave will do over 40 knots today.
Go guys go and best of luck.
Lets not forgot the other guys Perks and Perks, Johno etc.
