Hey Nebbian, the international part looks great! I think all the Kiwis will appreciate the effort you've put into it.

Yes the international section looks great! So if we get teams from other areas of the world joining they will get their map on the page too? From what I've read it looks like a Croatian team will be taking part in the Challenge in future.

Having an Australian idea (especially a good one) go around the world is excellent. I recently watched an old Top Gear where Mr Clarkson made a wisecrack about Australia, asking how many things made in Australia was in their homes. This was in the context of reviewing the Holden Monaro. I felt like asking them how many things made in England were in their homes.

New Site Looks Good.

New Zealand should be divided into these 2 States,
1/ Teams South of the Bombay Hills
2/ Auckland Teams (being North of the Bombay Hills).

(of course there is No Auckland teams too date, when the wind returns there will be)

Also as mentioned for Trans Tasman Rivalry would be good to combine N.Z teams into the Australian Challenge.

Sure you Guys are working on that.

Couldn't help myself in posting this picture, cheers Michael

Thanks for the support guys.

We're working on the map of Croatia right now... Luckily Srecko can speak english!

Hey Icesurf, perhaps we could rename the two parts of Australia "Those with wind" and "Those poor easterners"

As for the trans tasman rivalry, I think that when you view the "International" page, this will allow for the ~~kiwis to thrash us at the start of the month~~ aussies to show you guys who's boss!

On presentation day we'll ask for more international teams with the contingent that is present.

Nebs, Garmins can be put on 1 sec but that makes them even more inaccurate than 2 sec. Twice as much in fact (same error over half the time). Great if you want to inflate your speeds but 2-3 knots away from reality.

Thanks Yoyo, I didn't realise that.

Is this an artifact of the grid effect?
