Commentary

The first sprint series race of 2024 found SOLer’s racing the frigid Mamaroneck Frostbite Association's course in a 9’ Dyer Dhow. To get an idea of what that is like click the link in wsguerin's report. Tiny boats in cold water, what could go wrong? Certainly not frostbite from our sofa's, but as your reporter found an early fired DC from a preset course caused a wrong side rounding. FROSTBITE! A danger even online SOLer’s faced with such tight racing. PROTIP: open the laptop date time settings and click Sync (to UTC) before setting DCs to ensure alignment with the server.

In total 87 SOL crews signed up, 74 set off and 65 finished. It was a tight race as the server lists the distance as 13.3 NM, and the top boats finishing having only sailed 13.4-13.5 NM. Very nuanced racing with only the smallest deviations necessary was the margin of success. In fact, the first boat to sail a longer distance of 13.6 NM placed 16th!!! Again, as is common with sprints mere seconds separated the top boats to determine the podium. A rather long 12 seconds separated first from second but only 3 more for a close third by local Soler wsguerin. Well done. Give the reports a read if you would like to know how they succeeded.

Mangalia to Sevastopol 2024


This time the Black Sea challenges us in a race on the 360 Nm route from Mangala to Sevastopol. On the way we will also visit Odessa. Watch out for the legendary pirates and their fast battle galleys. Nobody ever found them. Apparently they took them with them to the land and hid them in the forests. Let's hope that our Delphia 47 will be fast enough to escape the chase, otherwise we may end up in captivity.
