Another huge effort for Claude. well done.

I suppose the next milestone is 250km, that Top 10 is getting harder and harder to get into

Cripes!

Looks like my stint in the top ten was short-lived... very little chance of getting back in now!

Claude, we salute you...

How long was he sailing to get that distance? The challenge has opened up new goals, and claude has just about taken one away.

Awesome stuff Claude!

And for the others, Claude was talking seriously yesterday about going for a 400km day when the seabreeze starts kicking in!

The challenge is now greater for it

as would be the respect someone would earn to better the mark.

Snides and Claude recently did 195 & 191 respectively, methinks Claude may have had the Cross hairs on Snides efforts after pipping him by 4km

The Current GPSS PB is 311km

Take the challenge

Yep, Claude's the fittest Grand Master I know. I'd be glad to have half his strength and fitness.

Yes. Well done indeed Claude!!!!
Just when I was getting psyched up for a 150 kay attempt!
200 kays will be a very long day at Sandy Point and will require very consistent conditions both wind and tide, and a long summers day! Definitely a challenge!
