There is always confusion around the time of finishing and I was definately in the wrong circle of rumours.

Seems that the Line honours listing is (completly different from my earlier listing. Apparent the organisation didn't find it necessary to give GPS trackers to world class tornado crews like "Enrique Figueroa & Jorge Hernandez" and "Simon Northrop & Matt Young". Not to mention that Bouscholte lost his GPS tracker at the lighthouse. (correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think this is the first time for him)

Anyways :Apparently the listing is :

Line honours:

-1- Hans Bouscholte en Ruurd van Wieren. Eagle 20 Carbon (not onlike the US V20 when looking at the specs) 2 hour 41 minuten.

-2- Enrique Figueroa en Jorge Hernandez. Tornado (intl Torn so with spi)

-3- Simon Northrop en Matt Young. Tornado (intl Torn so with spi)


Now of these were shown on the GPS tracking.

Somewhere behind these 3. The GPS tracking leaders Mitch Booth+Herbert Dercksen Hobie Tiger F18 finished ahead of M20 sailors Gunnar Larsen + Xander Pols. Right behind Booth the F18 worldchampions Boulogne (Vincent and Emmanuel) finished sailing their Cirrus F18. The protest hearing will determine wether Booth has started early and is DSQ-ed or not. This is currently the tie breaker for first overall and first in the F18 cirquit.

Back to an earlier statement of mine. The uni-rigged M20 has failed a third time in finishing ahead of the Tornado's when facing long distance race conditions; meaning legs that aren't quite upwind beats or downwind legs. The upgraded Tornado is proving to be the wapon of choice for line honours with the F18's keeping the Tornado's on their toes.
