Aussies - Amac, John Harris, Matt Belcher, Scott Babbage, Ben Crocker/James Owen-Smith/Sam England/Doink? Poms - Adam May, Graham Vials, Jason Belben, Simon Payne, Mike Cooke/Alex Adams/Mike Lennon? maybe it should be compulsory to have your best female in the team as well? :-) Either way - that one will be close as well, but i agree with les and think the aussies might have it again... so who are the top 5 aussies and poms? anyone keen to do a form guide on this as well?

The ashes will STAY in Australia after a week long holiday in the land of warm beer. I must say the trophy looks great sitting there above the TV. I look forward to seeing it displayed proudly at another Aussie moth sailors house after July. Pommy Bob – keep dreaming mate.

Even without 10 months of sailing you'd still be in front of the field. But the rest are gaining fast. Hence the comment about the level in general moving up. I wasn't referring to you personally, other than that the video was yours. Indeed Rohan, that would be the case. Even without 10 months of sailing you’d still be in front of the field.
