Way to go Skipper, you not only got your 25 but nearly 26

What a way to say goodbye to 2010.  Huge big Congrats and well done to you, Hardie

Well done Hardie, so pleased for you, excellent!!  Enjoy your New Years Eve!!

Funny real speed gives me a 23.52 as my best alpha. the next best is a 23.39

EDIT: Decrep your on the money changed proximity to 70m and there are 4 over 24knts.

Back to the drawing board then

Well done on your milestone Hardie! Happy new year to all...

Onya Hards, top effort mate

In the spirit of the comp, our illustrious leader has sent me his tracks, so we can all share in his alpha technique.

This is GPSarPro's view. looks like the secret is 30kt entry and exit with 15kt min.

The proximity is 49.3m how well judged was that?? Changing proximity to 75m doesn't improve things either, anybody would think we'd set up a 50m gate. This must be close to a perfect attempt for the conditions.

So Bendy man how does your's compare to this, you both have 15kt minimums.

Mike i will email my data to you now

Huuuuge congrats Hard Fella, awesome Alpha M8 

That bra must be doing the trick, no mid corner wobbles 

Have a happy, safe & healthy 2011 guys 

Thanx for all the congrats Sorry took so long to respond had to change out of my last 2 sets of clothes had drenched them in tears of joy of course, and yes I think one of the main reasons for my Alpha today, was the Manbra Sports I was wearing

I hope the manbra was set to doppler not track point

Looks like you have both things happening Ben, your best legal one goes wide to 70m then comes back to about 25m at the end.

your entry run started off upwind, then there was a bear off half way through,

So the main difference is the upwind run in, slowed you down below 25kts. The bear away brought your speed up nicely but meant a wide gybe and an upwind run back. If you can turn tighter, and stay more square, that will be faster.

You also have a 65m 23.6kt

It's a better looking alpha, but entry run a bit too far downwind, making it hard to get back within 50m.

If you look at the other gybes to the left, you'll see why I thought you were going too wide. They are over 75m

Great thanks for the advice Mike. KA 72 gives me what i have posted. i will leave it as its not counted in the team score. Might start posting with Realspeed again if KA72 is going to rob me when i'm close to a PB

Awsome gybing hardman !!

Well done Hardie!

Bendy, I didn't actuallysay it, but GPSarPro make your legal alpha 23.52. I use KA72 when I'm away, but I always check results when I return home.

It's nice to check the tracks and make sure they're legal, not to mention making sure you're not being robbed!!!

Awesome alpha Hardie

See you all down there tomorrow for the marathon.

Congrats Hardie, great way to end the year.

Good on ya Hardie - you are awesome now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
