Yes Ray, I see your name in the list of flag marshals.

Another thing I noticed in the programme was that in addition to the money the winner of the Tasman race received 100 bottles of champagne provided by Ron Hodgson.

This is a practice that has died out....

It must have lubricated the great parties that took place at Tasman time.

By the way Ray did you get to share any of the champagne won by your great mate Matich?
