I thought NZ was another state of Australia...

Hardie what are gpsss thoughts on the team scenario are they interested.
I think it would be great to have an international based comp as well a country based one.
So one database but can be filtered to See dutch team ranking or Aussie ream ranking and World ranking teams.
Each country comp should arrange there own sponsorship and the world one international sponsorship.
Does this make sense ?

Although it would be nice to include OS sailors it would complicate things and detracts from the original 'have a go' philosophy. NZ should be included as it would be easy to add it to the groovy map on the front page.

You should stay loyal to the existing sponsors and not allow any conflicts to occur.
Just say thanks but no thanks. It's easy to join something once it's up and running but harder to support something when it starts up.
Thanks Thommen and Gaastra.

Politics: I'm more than happy living under the benevolent dictatorship of Hardie and Nebs the last thing I want is committees, voting etc etc.

I reckon you should produce a T-Shirt. First have a design comp with a small prize, then sell the T-Shirts at cost + $15. This would help cover your overheads. I'm sure us fashion victims would be more then happy to shell out for a stylish GTC T-Shirt.

Keep up the good work

Hoooboy, what a great idea!

You guys should look at what Rexy is saying.
The Cockroach T's are cool and not something that anyone else is gonna have.
Just another thing to help with the $ thing and make windsurfers involved in the GTC feel some what special

Yep, I'd be happy to part up with the hard earned's for one.....
will you do XXXXL

Can i buy some now If the t-shirts do come out i will buy a couple for sure.

How about challenge stickers too
put these on our sails so we can spot fellow challengers that we may not have met before

Basically i agree with what everyone said.

Hardie and Nebs run with it if you want to.
Or just keep it the same.

We have all kicked a goal either way.

T-shirts................ now thats a great idea!!!!!!

IMHO gtc should be global but with regional filters to allow the focus to stay local and fun. By going global we can then have the Wgtc which would be fed from the regional comps. Imagine the ashes series against the pommes. Any 2 oz sailors sail on the same day in this great country verses any 2 sailors from the uk. I cant think of anything better then competing for ones country. Who knows, we may even start to get some international sailors coming to our speed comps and venues.
Slowboat, I dont think NZ is part of OZ yet. As far I as know it is a remote island off the coast of tassie somewhere

T-shirts sound good, how about different colours for each state, then if you travel everyone knows where youré from.
Keep the graphics the same for all as it gets expensive when you start putting team names etc.
Each state has an official colour I think, anyone know for sure?
I think Tassy is Pink

Perhaps another category could be added based on number of sessions/postings per month. Say points being awarded on the basis of number of team members posting divided by number in team, accumulating for the month. ie If a 4 person team has 2 members post they get 0.5 points for the day while a 10 member team with 4 postings would get 0.4 points. This will reward the teams getting most postings AND highest percentage of team members sailing.
