Race Leaderboard

The second race of the 2014 TIMED Race Championship got off to a relatively slow start - there were few opportunities for optimal runs throughout the week. However, word spread that there would be a good window on 28 January and it was from the afternoon runs on this day that our three podium winners achieved success! Well done guys

Race Notes from karriv
Right from the start it was clear that the weather varied very much from wx to wx, so I decided to try to take advantage of any opportunity arising. The first came on late Saturday evening (Finland time =UTC+2), with another coming early Sunday morning, the latter seeming more advantageous. In the end the Saturday window was not very popular, just a few SOLers, I managed to set a good time, and the next wx closed the Sunday morning window.

The real window came on Tuesday evening. After spending a way too long evening with Up Helly Aa on Monday (I set 10 carefully calculated DCs and ended up BBQing about 23 minutes after going to bed, practically at the first available beach;) and waking early Tuesday to work I almost skipped the window. Fortunately I decided to race after all;) This time the course was packed with boats, almost everyone starting between 14 and 16 UTC. I started a bit later than majority of the fleet. From the start I was thinking that the race would be decided on who rounds the marks best. I did marginal errors at Vuelta 2 and 3, took a small risk at Vuelta 4 which paid off nicely. After Vuelta 4 I got my first fairly accurate estimate of my time. After that it was very exciting to see the times set by boats ahead of me. After crossing the line the excitement was almost unbearable as estimating times for arriving boats was extremely difficult.

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!
