Google Earth -> Load the .kml file -> manipulate the earth -> do screen dump -> upload picture -> 
done
Meanwhile, later still, the Oats boat is zipping along at 21.4 knots while in her wake Comanche loafs along at a paltry 15 knots, gotta hope it stays that way, can't have an upstart brand new boat come and steal the silver ware.
Anybody know why none of the SH boats are visible on tracking apps such as MarineTraffic etc.
Doesn't any of them have a transmitting AIS, or not switched on, or why?
Strange.

It is the handicap position that's important Andy. A robust wind with south in it will suit her and the other S&S designs well but it will be bouncy and wet onboard the small ones.
Well here's one for us Morning Bird Quickpoint Azzuro is humming along at 10kts SOG and currently:
1st IRC 30 year
1st IRC 20 year
1st IRC
1st ORCi
Go you little beauty

Don't get to serious Loose Change all in jest 
Now Ive got your attention could you have a look at the Pur water maker thread please
Anyone hear of a boat retire into port hacking a few hours after the start? I was there in the afternoon and a boat with what looked like a Rolex sticker pulled in there.

I did look at it and while your idea is workable I'm not convinced it's a long term solution. Gerni's and Kärcher's are now so cheap that they have become a throw away item. As a throw away item I question their longevity and am I willing to take the chance of failure.
I'm happy with my 750 litres of fresh water....that will shower me and a girl in bikinis/or naked for approx 2 weeks!
whoops this is the wrong Thread!

That could have been Last Tango, a Salona 44 that dropped off an injured crew member. She later retired with sail damage.
Got to love wild oats tacking at the finish with a furling headsail. Seems the sydney scretcher is all the go these days!
Yes abc 24 is the go apart from the repeated Bob Oakley interview. Give the poor bloke a break obviously he likes watching his money spent in privacy !
the 80 year old Maluka of Kermandie is doing very well also !!
congrats to the crew of wild oats on line honors
the race is looking good for next year , as the new yank tank goes really well, and will give WO some competition in the next few years.
Azzuro currently 2nd, behind Maluka. Either at the top would be great for lovers of classic yachts and a one two fantastic.
looks like wild rose may beat maluka of kermerdie in the 20 year old classic race wild rose is kevlar ! [oats first w/o ]
in the 30 year division the s&s 34 azzuro looks like she may beat maluka ??
would have been a tough night last night for the last few !!!!
I checked the S2H website after a text from Claverton. It said Azzuro had won in IRC. Having got my hopes up, I checked 10 minutes later and Azzuro was way down the list.
As all the relevant boats had finished some time earlier, why would the website be updating so much?

I think it constantly updates as the slower boats finish
MB ,, Azzuro ...... 4th , 6th and 33 rd 30 yo h/c , 20 yo h/c and o/a h/c respectively
love and war [s&s] 1st . 2nd and 7th
good result for S&S
but Maluka of kermerdie !!!! 2nd . 3rd and 13th amazing boat and crew !!!!
Quikpoint Azzuro is the old Shenandoah II from Melbourne raced extensively there by Ron White, for anyone that might remember that. Built very light and no interior to speak of back then, merely just sufficient to satisfy the IMS rule under which she did well. The current owner bought it in a derelict state from QLD (not THE derelict state of QLD 
) and has rebuilt it extensively. Gutted to see them drop down the handicap placings on the last night.

thanks for the tip, Ramona.
seems the Tracker is buggy (showing Wild Oats waaaay out in front) but the Standings screen is accurate.
I don't know if anyone has already said it but I think the tracker shows the race record boat (wild oats) on the screen with the current fleet so you can see how far behind or infront the current fleet is compared to the record holder (wild oats will be on the tracker twice)
Regards Don

Don, if you click on the pic I have near the top of this page you will see that the .kml file in Google Earth shows the same thing but in my opinion, better.
BTW LooseChange, i did get my bro who's much more savvy than me to load all the google earth stuff, next year i'm all set
