Is there any official news feeds from Bordeaux? Hopefully a few updates and photos will be posted here, so I can keep up while moving house!

Rolf - commiserations to you and your countrymen, horrific events there in Norway.

Found a full list on the Club Website:

Sorry about all the troubles at home. My best to you all.

Anyone doing commentary?

I am not over there this year, but am trying to find someone who can do either live feeds, or feed the info back to me... on the other side of the world.

For those on FACEBOOK, I will be keeping AHPC (Australian High Performance Catamarans) page as up to date as possible.

Today (Sat) was registration day at the F16 Worlds. The club also had a Long Distance Race which many of the F16's used as a Warm Up.

The full results can be found: Results of Transcat

Report from Greg Goodall:

"Had a good day on the water. The club had a long distance race so about 10 of the F16 joined in. We did ok as we hit the lead about 3/4 through the race. We got a bit lost trying to find the last mark just before the finish so ended up just behind Emmanuel Le Chapelier & Alexandre Noiro (FRANCE also on a VIPER). It was good fun with a really long downwind in 20knts and flat water. In these conditions we are easily as fast as the F18's. On a shorter, lighter boat it is a bit of a buzz."

Thanks.

I thought Greg was going uni?

Not much wind predicted for the week, tomorrow is probably the best day.

Just in - Result of Race Two: 1. Brett Goodall; 2. Darren Bundock; 3. Reiss-Whitehead; 4. Caroline Brouwer; 5. Gregg Goodall....

Results of Race One: 1. Darren Bundock; 2 Reiss-Whitehead (1); 3. Brett Goodall; 4. Carolyn Brouwer; 5. Gregg Goodall. The Vipers killed that one!

Live feeds on the F16 Worlds now happening on AHPC (Australian High Performance Catamarans) facebook. Thanks to Catharina Whitehead.

ahhhh, crap...

My work blocks Facebook!

Can anyone do some updates here?

Three races over...
RACE 1 - 1. Darren Bundock; 2 Reiss-Whitehead (1); 3. Brett Goodall; 4. Carolyn Brouwer; 5. Greg Goodall.

RACE 2 - 1. Brett Goodall; 2. Darren Bundock; 3. Reiss-Whitehead; 4. Caroline Brouwer; 5. Greg Goodall

RACE 3 - TBC.... But I think Bundy 1 Brett 2 Greg 3 Caroline 4
Reiss & Matt had a capsize after the 1st mark.

That all the races for today.
According to Bundy's Twit, Vipers fill top 10 places.... Ouuuch!

Modesty.

All marketing aside, where is the first corinthian team on the scoreboard?

First uni rig in 25th, second in 28th.

I root for the DNFs! Finishing before the time limit runs out with the likes of Bundy and Carolijn in the fleet is a hard target if you are new to cat racing

Anyone know why Matt and Gina aren't sailing?

Results after 3 show M & G with a first race DNF?
