Hey There Punters,
Here's some vid from WA, a bit of a mash-up of all the racing over last summer. Best with loud sound, big thanks to racing yachts Hoodoo man, Al Fresco & of course This Way Up.

I love the big Chinese gybe halfway through. Hope the big fella who fell onto the STB side was OK!
Floating and steering under those kites in a cross swell is a fine art.
Thanks for posting.
good one poods ,looks like plenty of speed and excitement in that lot . Are the bombies a normal obstruction on the course ?

That was just going around the west end of Rottnest Island, before we race the last 100nm to Jurien Bay. I was just about to put the bow down & call the kite up, then thought... No, lets go a bit further & a bit wider! 
A Sydney 38 called low speed chase got wiped out on a breaking shoal off San Francicos a few years back, with very sadfy most of the crew drowning. A lesson learnt there.

I've got a copy of the full report into the tragedy, about 6MB, a very interesting read. Drop me a pm if you would like me to email it to you.
