Swiftsure 2008

Holy cow. Preliminary results indicate a 1st place in this years Swiftsure, and 2nd overall. Once again, the team fought hard against kairos (kairos being a common sight from madmax ever since last years Van Isle 360).

This year was a bit of a driftsure, in contrast to the last several Swiftsures that were characterized by 40-knot night time passages through Race Rocks.

Although winds were lighter this year, MadMax managed to split a spinnaker while racing to the finish line.

Great work team!

Southern Straits 2008

A hard fought, and finally won, first place for MadMax in this years Southern Straits. Well done team!
