Race Report by JakeS

quote
This race was just how description promise; hard one! We had a perfect wind and fast boat. Trickiest thing was to do right decision very quickly for the next course. Do I sail optimal angle a bit longer way, or do I try a shortcut? And only few sec time to make decision! And after passing one island there comes 100 more islands to pass and no time to rest or sleep. This was challenging in different way than our ocean races are.

I'm happy that we sail this, thanks to RC and Smo! Congrats to teamboats and brave solo sailors! This race also attracted a lot of discussion and opinions what is always good thing. Even there was sailors who like this I think we say goodbye to FSAR -race like it was, but we might say wellcome to Archipelago Team Race . . . We’ll see

elbetico

As requested here and via email, your boat is now renamed El_Cid_Campeador.

Your crew may sail around during practice, but once the race starts, their boats must remain at the start

If anyone else wants to form a team boat, please just post here and follow the rules mentioned above!

Thanks!

nacrr - you do not need to register a new boat - I can simply change your name to that of RaidTeam (once you have your full complement/crew listed)!

Please note that if you are going to be creating a team boat for this race, it is Sailonline convention that:

1. everyone steering needs to already be registered on Sailonline (ideally also be SYC members)

2. a complete list of boats/names racing in the team must be posted

3. none of the individual boats in the team may race independently of the team in that race.

Will be fun if this takes off

Re: Predictor time marker error

Board » Sailonline Yacht Club

I usually do my utmost to ensure that the weather zone exceeds the course bounds by at least the max BS x 6 ....

Unfortunately this was not done to the southmost bounds of the Christmas race because it never occurred to me that folks would sail that far south and I was trying to keep the weather zone within the ideal 1000pts size.

Sadly, no-one else thought of it either.
