Heaven Can Wait 2010 - Double 49 World Champion and Moth European Champion Nathan Outteridge and three times Laser World Champion and Etchells World Champion Tom Slingsby talk about the epic 29 mile race.
OCS at the start, Outteridge showed why he is the favourite for the 2011 Moth World Championships to be sailed on this lake, Lake Macquarie, the largest salt water lake in Australia early next year.
In spite of eleven capsizes in this years One Lap Dash Nathan smashed the existing record held by the Egan 9.5 catamaran Two Tribes, completing his personal Moth Marathon in two hours seven minutes and 31 seconds, even though he he went back for his hat and stopped for a chat with his fellow Australian sailng team member mid-race.
Both Nathan and Tom are keen to come back in 2011 for the Heaven Can Wait One Lap Dash. At the One Lap Dash presentation Nathan said he is aiming for a sub two hour record.
On Friday night, at the Heaven Can Wait Welcome Dinner at the RMYC Toronto, the two multiple World Champions held a dinner audience spell-bound as they went back to the beginnings of their sailing. Tom explained how he had to be bribed by his sisters to crew on the boat, he hated it so much and Nathan explained why his nickname is George.
We will bring you the full audio and transcript of that revealing interview later today.
But right now here is the story of two great sailors and their race.
