Race Leaderboard

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!

GRATULACJE WRmirekd !!!
FELICITATIONS ALP317 !! CONGRATULATIONS Satori !

Race Leaderboard

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.

CONGRATULATIONS CriticalHippo !!!
CONGRATULATIONS CollegeFund !! GRATTIS sassy63 !

Race Leaderboard

Commentary

In the first sprint of Q4 CriticalHippo proved masterful on the water claiming P1 by 22 seconds. Without a report one is left to wonder how he managed such a lead because P2-P5 were only separated by 4 seconds. Overall the race took under 4 hours and of the 75 boats registered 60 finished before race close. With only two more sprints before the annual championship is determined stay tuned as the rankings will shuffle as discards begin to take effect. Stay tuned.

The Beagle in Tahiti 2024 - RESULTS

PARABÉNS Vida_Maldita !!!
GRATULACJE WRmirekd !! CONGRATULATIONS CriticalHippo !

Race Leaderboard

Commentary

More than a hundred SOLers made it it to the start of this our sixth race of our Survival of the Fittest Series in goo'ol' Class B Tall Ships retracing that epic scientific round-the-world voyage of Fitzroy and Darwin less than 200 years ago. Tahiti is a particularly attractive place to tarry awhile, and so it was a credit to the fleet that the vast majority departed on time, and what is more that the vast majority of that vast majority got to the finish line within the time limit. Bravo all!

As for the racing, well, the series is turning into quite the battle between WRmirekd and VidaMaldita, with Vida well shading it this round by an impressive four and a half minutes. With two discards, there's all to play for still!

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.
