G'Day,

The statistics were just published for the 111km race. 428 boats, 612
paddlers (singles, doubles, quads and one outrigger boat with six paddlers).
81 withdrawals throughout the night. Fastest time overall was 8hrs16m for a
VK4. Fastest time for a single "Medium sized recreational" was 9hrs 22m. The
small time difference between racing and recreational is probably because
many of the  recreational boats are built for speed and wouldn't really work
as sea kayaks much less a touring sea kayak. Sea Kayaks don't have a class
of their own yet in this race so its difficult to work out how many were
there also the "Broklyn or Bust" classification doesn't specify the boats.

All the best, PeterO
