Simon / Matt,

My hat off to you for a well run race.

....and actually the 1st boat round the lighthouse looked to be the A class of Lambrieux (i cant confirm this fact as we were concentrating on making the gate ourselves) ...


I think I can confirm this by virtue of hearing about from various independent sources.


>>i think it must be hard to give GPS tracking systems to everyone that could win as from 600 starters your going to miss someone out, its probably unfortunate that 2 out of the top 3 didnt have them and the one that did have one
malfunctioned.


That is of course true but I saw several sailors with GPS recorders that I know wouldn't be sailing in the top 50. Why not give these to true competitive teams like for example you as you did very last year as well.

But still is mostly talking in hindsight.

So congrats and till next year I hope !

Wouter
