| The two GPS units have arrived, one donated by Riks, one bought with entries (when we get enough)- so no wind for the forseeable future!! The windsurfers are starting a speed ladder, we are intending to get some prizes sponsored, if not a Wednesday night trophy may be used. We are basically running it on honesty basis, but will be able to download tracks to check! We have two GPS unit (Now here in safe under telephone) as used by speed sailors in a waterproof pack - there are insteructions with the units. As a result there is a £10 entry to pay for the GPS, which will be locked in the club house. Entries and results to date Rules fairly simple: | Speed
