For those interested, the Speedsailing Circus has started up at Walvis Bay, Namibia again. Not catsailing related, but here`s the link :

So far the best wind has been just on 20knots, the minimum to open the course. Finian, Bjorn and a few others have run the course at 36-37 knots, not bad for "light wind" speedsailing.. The kitesurfers are not too far behind either.
Hopefully the wind kicks in and some records start falling (Sjouke Brednekamp has already broken the African Women`s Kite record.) [img]http://www.speedweek.co.za/2006/19.10/pages/PICT3798.html [/img]
