G'day Chris,

                How about continuing with your reports, they are valuable to all EC12 skippers regardless of Country.

Look forward to hearing from you again.

Regards,

Bob.

Hi Chris!

Thanks for the promotional info. thumbsup.gif

I have updated my website to reflect your proactive promotion.

As I have stated many times before, you Kiwi's leave us Aussie's for dead in terms of promotion and actually getting things done. You actually make the effort to let people know what's going on!!! weirdfaceLike, in Oz, if that was to happen, there would be cardiac arrests all over the place. worry.gif

I will never give up my Aussie status, but damn, sometimes I wish I had some Kiwi blood in my veins! frustrated.gif

Chris, you are the man!

Well done sir!

And my most heartiest congratulations!

And make sure you give the Aussie's a shake up. I think they are sorely in need of some stimulation.

This might sound a bit unpatriotic, but I have a real soft spot for the Kiwi's.

They have done more for 12-metre radio yachting than anyone else I can think of, and whilst it would be nice for an Aussie to take out No 1 in the Australian Championships, if a Kiwi should do it, I personally am not going to be too upset about it.smile

PS: Hey Chris, if you can point me to a link, or even send me some pics, exclusive would be nice, but any will be welcome, that would be great.

PPS: I note Rod Liddy has a similar hairstyle to mine, but his hair colour is just a tad darker than mine.cry

Thanks Don

Same result after 15 races in Fleet today - not in top 6 - busy being organiser and thinking about that too much as well. - am 7th so not far out of top 6!!!

Weather was same today - light to mid A rig and a little fluky at times. Some good pics and video taken that will show up soon.

Rod Liddy leading Fleet racing by a healthy margin.

Another similar forecast for tommorrow.

Chris,

Just concentrate on what is at hand. I note you were in the second 6 today in the Match Racing, rather than the first 6.

Brisbane will come, but in the meantime I see from your website some really beautiful trophies that would make a handsome addition to your trophy cabinet, should you win one or more of them.

Might I respectfully suggest you put on a different hat and concentrate.weirdface

Good Luck
Don
