After winning the evaluated ranking on gps3 in 2009 and 2010 i really wanted to win this ranking again in 2011. Sadly for me Hans his level is rising so much that it is impossible for me to win if we always sail on the same spot. Some people noticed we are not sailing together anymore in 2011 to make it more unfair;-). Hans congratulations with this result and next time we can go out together again. Next goal is to make it as long as possible in the month top 10, sofar 23 months in a row and counting.

West Kirby was super windy and the course almost perfect...... Personally i don't like crashes and i really don't like them if i know upfront crashing (because of rolling waves) is the only option to break some records. My personal best was impossible to break in these conditions as 10 second runs where not easy to make, check the 500 for example. The only record to break for me today was the max topspeed, but than i had to make a kamikaze run and just accept to crash.....that's not my style. Respect for the top guys from UK and specially Martyn who went for it all the way which resulted in a 49 knots peak and some decent 10sec runs.
