The data base has the possibility of a 6th category, which I thought could be most km's or NM's sailed in a session. This would be the sum total of km's sailed by all team members in a session, divided by the no. of team members that have sailed that session. So you get a team ave.
I think it's another way of evening it out, and those that will never be fastest, have a chance of doing lot's of km's?? So the guns can sail for 30mins and post some hot times, and the distance guys can sail for 2 to 3 hrs and contribute to the team that way?............another way of Getting Fitter!!!!
What about that OS guy who sailed an incredible 311 k's in one day!! Sailed from 9am until 7:45 pm. Id be on a drip if I even attempted more than 3 hours a day, unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!
From one who is in the category of "being real real slow" sounds OK to me. But then again, I am tin fruited after about an hour anyway Chucking in another category cant hurt, allows for those who like this concept to participate Mineral
I love the distance idea Hardie. A mate and I wracked up 60km's in one session over xmas in about 3 odd hours from memory. I know I'm certainly not going to be near the top of the outright speeds on our team but I know I'll sail all day if it's needed!
Are you NUTS Hardie.5 categorys not enough , BUT if we must,Then the PIT CREW is in.Just a little info the last long sail I did was 3.5 hrs non stop for a distance of 145 km

Kn 'Ell!! You do realise that that's an AVERAGE of 23 knots, don't you? Cripes!
Endurance, now you are talking my language Hardie. Love the idea. It's something we QLD's might have a chance at going okay in. Spending a whole day on the water in attempt to crack the distance catagory would be fun. Wonder what my team mayes think of that? Idea's running around already for that one. I know Maximus goes some pretty long distances on a day already.
