Sandy Point has all the same ingrediants as the trench...... It is very sheltered from waves, very shallow so the chop does not pick right up and gets good breeze from the Southern ocean.

It is a natural made speed sailing course and is where Maquarie Inovation is attempting to take back thier record and be the first over the 50 knot mark.

Unfortunatly it is a smallish body of water and MI must enter the course at low speed from behind a sand dune and try and hit super high speeds to reach a good average. They have said MI has alread exited the course in excess of 50 knots.... Just got to get a better entry speed.



MI with a minor setback..... They reported that they were traveling @ 45 knots early in the run when this happened. It was set to be a record run they believe...... It has now been rebuilt much lighter and stronger.
