|

| 31/07/2010 | Talkin' About Records |
|
While the best pressure in this year's 384 nautical mile race will come once the leading crews are ensconced at Southport Yacht Club, supermaxis such as Wild Oats XI only need to average 14.6 knots to claim one of the mighty Brindabella's remaining race records - and they can reach at speeds of 15 knots in just 5 knots of pressure.

|
| 29/07/2010 | Race Record Could Tumble in the 25th Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race |

For Wild Oats XI, Bob Oatley's 100ft super maxi, the clear line honours favourite, these weather conditions are perfect for them to break the 11 year old race record of 27hrs, 35 mins and 43 seconds set by Brindabella in 1999.

| 25/07/2010 | The Gov Cup's Final Four |
|
In the other semi-final match between NHYC Segerblom and CYCA Griffin, Griffin was a little ahead of Segerblom after the first windward mark.

At the next weather mark, Griffin continued to lead Segerblom downwind. In an exciting finish, Segerblom passed Griffin downwind to win by six seconds.

Those seas and wind against current will pose the first major tactical decision for skippers - whether to head offshore to find the northerly current that acts as a sort of conveyor belt south, but at the cost of pounding into steeper, bigger waves which can damage the boat, or to stay inshore where the waves should not be as steep.
