Hi all – you might like to hear the latest on Chris and the Contender World Championships at Brisbane

You know that the shipping container carrying the eleven Contenders out to Brisbane got delayed and there was doubt whether she would get there for the start of racing – which was yesterday.

However everything just scraped through on time. We have not heard any results yet but at least Chris was in on the start

There is three days of the Australian National Championshps followed by three days on the World Champioships

If anyone is interested the web page for the reslts is www.contenderworlds2010.com.news but I can’t find any results there yet.

Hi all, yet another frustrating day in the dingy park waiting for the wind to drop still 30 – 40knt gusts!!!!

Only to have the second day cancelled again.

All I can say is that the race officers had it right. As some of the good guys decided to take the bladeridder FX demo boat out for a sail this lasted approx 3 mins before the boat spectacularly folded up!!!

Moths obviously don’t sail in 30knts!!!

Hoping for some racing tommorrow

keep you updated Steve
