Yes those flat-water, screaming downwind legs were a very good way to get the season started.

I'm sorry I didn't watch over my shoulder down the final downwind Matt. Your ride down that leg must have been insanely fast. I thought I had been breaking the speed limit but when I took the spinnaker down you had caught me up!
You should have trapped that last sprint to the finish - you could have got me.

Hi Matt,

have done that before, but never had time to think about it at Bendigo, guess I was just to busy hanging on and trying to avoid other boats. crazy

Regards,
Gary.
