Hi all,

After Craig Hollins contacted The Age about the unique use of GPS units in speed sailing they are running a story today in the Livewire section (Green Guide). Should be good they have interviewed Craig, Tom Chalko, Mick Green, Spotty and myself (cause they think I am a freak to follow you guys around the country), so I hope it is informative and inspires other 'geeks' to get into the sport.

Haven't seen it yet but looking forward to seeing the sport get some exposure.

Good read....

Nice to see a newspaper article about something you know about that isn't full of rubbish.

Congratulation to all involved.

Yes sometimes, looking at the data......

GT31...



Garmin...

GT 31 50.01 Garmin 49.9

Must be different software reads different, with my Garmin I use "Load My Tracks" and "GPSARpro2" and it always reads less than my GT31. The Garmin top speed after download in mostly always the same as on the units screen.
