Commentary

And to bring y'all right up to date, here are the results of the TIMED racing in the Foveaux Strait off the southern tip of New Zealand's South Island, which generated a complete different podium once again.

This time Thursday the 14th of September was the day the wind blew right and the first 22 boats all had a start on that day, mostly after 12:00 UTC, which was a bleary-eyed 01:00 in the morning local time down there. This time it was Kipper1258 who found the perfect time starting at 12:14:06 UTC and putting slightly more than a minute on his nearest challengers, sassy63 and rafa, who started about a half hour later and a half hour earlier respectively. TIMING is everything!

Boston to Newport TIMED Race 2023 - RESULTS

CONGRATULATIONS Vida_Maldita !!!

Commentary

Another month, another TIMED race, and another SOL classic - Boston to Newport. At c 150nm, it's a long race, even in rapid Reichel Pugh 66's, with the best times achieved on this occasion being only slightly less than nine and a half hours, which meant that no matter when you started your run was always going to straddle (and well) at least one WX update and potentially two, with all the uncertainty that that brings with it. Add to that that the best route almost inevitably requires you to hug the beaches of the Cape Cod peninsula, but also very likely requires you to make a choice between one of the narrow passages through either Woods, Robinson or Quicks Hole or even Canapitsit Channel, this is a race in which an awful lot can go wrong. And who knows, even the winner may have had a mishap.

But, as always, if you didn't get a run in during the right weather window, you were going nowhere. That window was Tuesday the 15th of August and 20 SOLers caught it, but when exactly should have been the right time to set off is hard to tell from the results with the T3 starting in intervals of c 2 hours at 12:27:23, 14:48:32 and 16:31:57 respectively. 12:27:23 was quite the earliest start chosen by any of the T10, and one wonders did it work out so well for Vida_Maldita because he was already 1/3rd the way round when the next WX came in and disappointed. Well TIMED!

Kerguelen Can Can TIMED Race 2023 - RESULTS

CONGRATULATIONS Pit8008 !!!
CONGRATULATIONS wsguerin !! ONNITTELUT Smo !

Race Leaderboard

Commentary

The Can Can is yet another Sailonline classic. Indeed, it is also a French classic, but of a different genre of entertainment, but nevertheless perhaps our Can Can is so named because the Kerguelens are a French overseas territory and our Volvo 70s (shouldn't they really be IMOCAs to keep to all things French) always fairly dance around the archipelago's main island, imaginatively named Grande Terre. Enough, who won!?

Well, it was that perfectioning pilot Pit8008 again, but this time, on the day the winds blew most true, Monday the 17th of July, he had a lot of company with a veritable fleet of 33 boats starting between the hours of 09:00 and 17:00 UTC. Another 100-miler-slightly-more, and the times achieved were again rapid with Pit8008 just pipping wsguerin by 29 seconds in 4:26:30, with the last boat home on the day, Ryba, still managing a very speedy 5:29:12. The 20th, 23rd and 24th were also fine fair days for racing, but no times achieved on those days could get near Pit8008's and the T23 of the #33. All very well TIMED!

South Sandwich Islands TIMED Race 2023 - RESULTS

Commentary

The next TIMED race we failed to commit to blog, in 'timed' sequential order, was the South Sandwich Islands event, another Sailonline classic. This time the best winds were to be found on Monday, June 26 roughly between the hours of 13:00 and 18:00 UTC, which welltold only 4 SOLers managed to seek out, including the previous events winner FreyjaUSA who this time 'only' managed 4th.

This time instead the winner was another American, Pit8008, who got around the more than 100nm course in 5.327222 hours, little more than 1 minute (0.016667 hours) quicker than his nearest pursuer. Very well TIMED!

Sinbad Braves the Bay of Bengal 2023
“Sinbad, you sorry sailor, why have you not told me of this great sea, this giant bay, stretching hundreds of thousands of qasbah east of Al-Hindi to fabled lands where tea and rice and rubber is abundant?” and Sinbad replied “Ahh, umm, shall I go have a look. May I take the Judel Vrolijk 62 again, it’s going to be a long voyage, perhaps a million and one half qasbah (c 3000nm)? I’ll start in Chittagong and follow the coast to the southern tip of the Hindus’ land, round Serendip, head east into the vastness of the seas, and if I’m lucky (no pun intended, oh Mighty One) I shall find land again and then head north and see where I end up”. “Fair winds, Sinbad”, said the Sultan.

Maryland to Alaska 2023
Welcome to this September edition of 2023 OCCH. This route was first sailed in 2020. At the time it was inspired by Matt Rutherford's single-handed Red Dot Expedition around the Americas in 2012, SOLer Renegade proposing a half-around from Maryland over the North into the Pacific and back through the Panama Canal, in 5 legs, 5 years later. Leg 2 across the North West Passage proved to be particularly challenging and so to create a proper Ocean Race, SRC combined Leg 2 with Leg 1 to give you a race of at least 4000nm from Maryland to Alaska, now to be sailed in our magnificent Archer 78.
