Oh that is a shame, he will be gutted, he was really looking forward to it and he has done a helluva lot to promote the sport here in Sydney, Train up for Maliko Dave.

If its easterly they may reverse the race direction, but if its north, what options would there be?
Doesn't look pretty

Yeah there go my chances of winning. That's it, I'm staying home.

Outside of fantasy land, who of the favourites is the best "slugger"? If Bart de Zwart is still coming over, he'd surely be a good chance, given the 11 Cities conditions and result. Although Jacko beat him in this race last year didn't he?

Jacko beat Bart last year and if the conditions are as forecast will be a strong contender this year on a 12 6. No advantage for the big boards :-(

Owen does not drink but I will get some lemon lime and bitters for him if he can drag himself away from MR. Looks like I will be there with you and Rowdy priming for the after party do not fancy another drudge like last year.

Everyone has a different definition of a downwinder I suppose. First 11k were sidewind 10knots then turn at the bouy and it was downwind but only 10 to 12knots. I like 20 plus which we get regularly see Monday below. Saturday at the moment looks crap but that may change.

I gotta agree with hilly if it's not waves or 20knot DIRECT downwind, I'm not interested anymore.. Most of us over here arnt as keen as you guys from over east..

Yeh I know he doesn't drink but he still joined me last year.....I'm sure he would love a lemon lime and bitters

Hey belly what are the chance of getting your old man to take a few of us over on his boat, then you guys cab get a good on water view. Of course we would look after him with $$$$'s for petty and maybe even a case for the crew.

Lacey, I think what Hilly is saying is that if you were willing to paddle 28km then it was good.BUT I'd you wanted to surf 28km with a little bit of paddling in between it wasn't so great. And fortunately or unfortunately which ever way you want to look at it we are used to the latter of the two.

I also think the straight west currently predicted could be a lot worse. Could be stronger bit at least the direction is right and it will make getting to the fair way bouy a lot easier.

Well if he wants a trial run next weekened I know a few guys who would make it worth his while, plus it could be a good chance for you to bust out that fancy pants camera of yours.
