This
year's Great Race attracted 61 entries from as far away as New Zealand, with a
Kite Surfer jumping on a plane, Team Harken on the Hobie Wild Cat from Sydney
and various yachts from Northern NSW & North Queensland all to complete
this years gruelling 70km challenge.

| Rigging per start |
The
weather was looking to do it's best to force the postponement, but with the
strong wind warning cancelled and the winds and rain squalls easing it was on
and looking to be a record breaking run.
There are
2 new times to beat next year: Team Harken taking the multihull record which
fell from 2:57:18hrs Elapsed Time down
to 2:33:32 and the Monohull time took a pounding from 3:44:48 Elapsed Time down
to 2:39:58 by Steve Sherring in his foiling moth.

| Up nice and close for the start |
