August Sprints RESULTS (1) Principe (2) Moheli 1 (3) Moheli Redux

The August Sprints were again designed by MustangMark to offer a standard and a PYO (pick-your-own) course – this latter style is proving extremely popular. Located off different coasts of Africa, the courses also afforded an opportunity to explore islands with widely differing histories. Just fascinating. Each podium has reported on their races, so please read their contributions below.

The Principe race was strongly competed and the podium are to be congratulated – just ONE SECOND separated the top three. In all 38 boats arrived within 10 minutes of the first finisher. Amazing competition!

The first Moheli running got off to a brilliant start. As a PYO course the merits of N or S of the island were hotly debated. Unfortunately, the gods of electricity intervened and a power outage at Sailonline’s ISP (where a backup also failed) meant that while the race continued on, it was no longer counting for the Championship. Those who remained engaged and who waited out the not-too-long downtime, had the reward of a good race and some excellent matchracing. The podium three did an excellent job to grab the top spots, with just 10 seconds between #1 and #3.

The second Moheli running, the championship race, saw many switch from a S to a N track and due to shifting winds, there was a lot of “play” in the approach to the finish line, requiring some to even contemplate crossing the line back-to-front (which is allowable) to avoid an extra tack! Bravo to the podium, arriving within 5 seconds of each other – a total of 38 boats arrived within the first 10 minutes!!

Kamchatsky to Tromsoe 2024

Just before the light failed entirely in Antarctica, Skip Novak managed to get his Pelagic 77 out of the ice and north up the Pacific to Kamchatsky. The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
