2010-05-08 17:18:35 - Admirals Cup?
How easy would it be to run a 'teams of three' admirals Cup type race (sorry I didn't use the race proposals pro forma for this but it doesn't really fit).

The idea would be to have three different rated classes - each team of three must be made up of one of each.

Placing would be based on teh combined score of all three competitors in the team.

Solo and teams of two could also enter the race but would not be eligable for the team prize.

The teams of three would self select and the race officer woudl be notified which boats were 'teamed up'. This could be done on the boat chat section or on the forum.

Any thoughts?

Best wishes

I quite like the idea, but it is difficult to implement for SOL.

Fun idea.

Why not let teams self-organise within a "normal" race? RC's practice race gang have proven the feasibility of using the forums to track such things :-) Not to mention the (mostly) French team effort.

It's not clear yet whether the live tracker is going to be up for this year's Swiftsure (May 29) but we have three boats in the system already that might do the trick.

TP 52
Riptide 50
Santa Cruz 52

Line honours / SOL ranking points would be the TP52 - boats willing to forgo points for a weekend race could round out the other two, or race informal handicap via the forum.

Swiftsure runs PHRF, with (provisional) ratings of -81,-63,-15 for the race (~24h) TP52 owes Riptide 42 min and SC52 154. Riptide Owes SC52 112 minutes...

As always, SOL ranking points would only based on elapsed time

If there is interest from the fleet, let's here it! Race organising (particularly when we can do it behind-the-scenes/on-the-fly) is user-driven.

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
