Commentary

92 boats set sail on time. Eventually 149 participated. There was a split in the fleet, already at day 1, as we approached the Falklands. The main group opted west of the islands, while 3 brave sailors chose the in-between, and more than a dozen took the eastern side. This though didn't play out to be significant as the whole fleet was quite equal, on a broad front, for the next 6 days.

The situation changed as we encountered a high system on day 7, which caused a scattering among the fleet. After 2 weeks of sailing there was some indication of the outcome, as the fleet converged towards the waypoint Recife. Actually, the podium was set at this point, as was #4, the potential winner of this year’s ocean championship, as well as the Round the World competition.

The podium finishers sailed approximately 6900 nm in 28 days, which makes an average of 246 nm/day or 10.3 kn. 113 parties managed to cross the finish line (at the time of writing).

Reports

Commentary

This year's Mistli's Birthday BBQ race was an all-upwind affair, and it paid competitors to put in plenty of tacks in order to stay on the inside of the steadily lifting wind, as indeed reflected on in the reports from our top two podium-placers, attached under the buttons above.

And yes, the winner was KaSToR, a newcomer to SOL from France but possibly not to online sailing, pipping two SOL veterans and past winners - one of them serially - of this always challenging event. Tiens, tiens, tiens, magnifique!

Commentary

This was the fourth time we raced over the top of North America but this time, in order to kinda comply with the concept of the HILAT Series that this race was the curtain call for, departing for Alaska from Halifax in Nova Scotia (nevertheless more than 10o S of Antica Scotia aka Caledonia) not Maryland (same latitude as Cadiz). And as always much fun was had by all, guessing, no figuring, what was the best route, east or west of Newfoundland, and east or west or even simply south of Baffin Island, following the route that Franklin might have, through the Hudson Strait, the Gulf of Boothia and into his eponymous Franklin Strait, if only he hadn't got ice-bound and perished.

This time keeping west of Newfoundland was very much quicker than staying out on the open North Atlantic ocean, and most of the more than 100 SOLers who made it all the way to Alaska got that first call right. But the Baffin bifurcation was a different matter, and a hardy fleet led by bonknhoot and Sax747 continued north, relying on past experience and the fact that those east to west distances up there are shorter than they look. Hardy but wrong, and within a few days it became clear that the majority who had headed west and then north were on a winner.

And so it was that WRmirekd romped nicely home with a lead of almost half an hour on his nearest pursuers, which included antares_sydney in 4th, which placing was sufficient for him to win the HILAT Series and his first series on SOL overall. Impressive by the both of 'em!

Commentary

It was another race that looked easy and pleasant. It is true that most of the route looked like that but it could only lull the navigators into a false sense of security. The finish had to be planned much earlier. The choice of place, time of the last turn and approach to the finish line were decisive for the results of the race. We watched a fierce battle in various positions. In the end, WRmirekd defeated ALP317 and Satori mboo7 and rafa. A beautiful fight for sixth place between CriticalHippo and MaxStarostin. Congratulations to the winners and all participants.

The Beagle in the Bay of Islands 2024

And west the Beagle went again to reach the Bay of Islands on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island on the 19th of December. Darwin was not nearly as impressed by the inhabitants here, commenting that the Maori natives were “savages with the character of a much lower order than the Tahitians” and many of the English settlers were of “the most worthless character” and “included runaway convicts”, not anticipating that less than 200 years later a blend of these characteristics would combine to create a nation of serial Rugby World Cup Winners – evolution, eh, Charlie! The Beagle sailed on swiftly, but we will stay a little longer and explore c 200nm of the North Island’s glorious eastern coast, up and down, as ever in our replica Tall Ship Class B.
