Reports

Commentary

With FreyjaUSA and WRmirekd duking it out for supremacy in the series, there was little enough room for any others to make the podium, but three of the more than 100 SOLers who came out to participate in at least one race did, CapeAgulhas, rafa and Satori, and of those three, it was Satori who put the better series together, to take the third overall – chapeau, mon Canuck! Bit it was another of our others, CapeAgulhas who took the only other first the two duellists left available, in fact the first and longest race, and how CapeAgulhas went about it, you can read in his report under the button above.

Rests us now to congratulate Freyja and Mirek on sharing an equal 5 points, but Freyja on taking the series, by virtue of winning the last race or two firsts versus Mirek’s one - take your pick!

The Beagle in the Bay of Islands 2024 - RESULTS

GRATULACJE WRmirekd !!!
GEFELICITEERD bonknhoot !! PARABÉNS Vida_Maldita !

Commentary

There wasn't a lot of wind about along the east coast of Aotearoa, the island of the long white cloud, so that to make any progress in our Tall Ships Class B masquerading as replica Beagles it paid to stand well offshore. If the ghost of Darwin was on board with anyone of us, he'll have been disappointed as there will have been precious little to observe, classify or philosophise about, other than, how far exactly east should one go, which as has happened before, the crew aboard the good ship WRmirekd, got sweetly right.

Thus, by the time the 90-strong fleet (out of 117 entries) had reached The Dramatic Volcano of White Island, Te Puia o Whakaari, it was all over bar the shouting, and as our old-timers are not equipped with VHF, that was quite pointless, so on we went to finally get some sight of flora and fauna rounding the Coromandel Peninsula and passing the islands of the Hauraki Gulf.

"But on we sailed, regardless, slowly and sedately enjoying the southern summer weather, Mirek doggedly pursued by bonk and Vida and the rest of the fleet. In the end, it was 86 Beaglers made it back to the Bay of Islands to tell tales of and sing songs of mythical kings and iguanas.

I have flown to star-stained heights
On bend and battered wings
In search of mythical kings
Mythical kings and iguanas

Well done, all!"

Commentary

In the second sprint of Q4 we visited the Island of Bioko. Where 75 boats registered, 61 started, 58 finished and 3 went on holiday. It was relative newcomer KaSToR who bested the fleet and captured first place, duplicating the feat for the second time in less than a fortnight. Flamingo and FreyjaUSA rounded out the podium finishing a minute back. With light winds at the start of the race, and difficulty finding the correct balance of wind and angle click the button above to read the winners report on how he did it.

In terms of quarterly rankings CriticalHippo leads, followed by CollegeFund, and FreyjaUSA who is tied with Kipper1258 for third. However, the annual championship is opening up now that discards are taking effect. FreyjaUSA leads followed by CollegeFund, and CriticalHippo. Be sure to race our final sprint of the year on Lake Victoria in December to see how it all turns out. We'll race Lasers along the coast and word on the shore is it's a very popular event for the wildlife.

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).

The Beagle in Mauritius 2024

And west, forever following the sun, the Beagle went once more to next explore Australia, but since online we already regularly race the length and breadth of that wee dinkum continent’s coasts, we will delay launching our Tall Ship Class B until the Beagle reaches Mauritius, which she did on 29 April 1836. Darwin explored the island and its coral reefs extensively. We’ll better that by sailing some 450nm to Reunion and back, for a better appreciation of this remote archipelago, inhabited mostly by descendants of French and English colonists and Indian convicts and political prisoners.
