From another forum topic re Noumea:
Can they take up the challenge?

When are you and some of those froggies there going to get a team together for the GPS Team Challenge?
There are now 15 countries involved
and not even 1 french teamgpsteamchallenge.com.au/index.php?country=0(I know they only like to enter if they are gonna win) [}:)]

seanhogan said...Well most of us don't have gps (too heavy, slows us down...)

And yes, if we can't win we're not entering !!


Mind you, I'm fast and my good mate Gauzere once was 2nd at the world speed championship... could come up with something.......
I'll take a look at that link and see if our flatwater secret spot could help us out...
I believe Sean is the Irish Ambassador there, and an honorary Frenchman in New Caledonia also!
Maybe they could join with the contingent of French guys sailing in Sydney[}:)]
