The THIRD short, informal, practice race will be held on Thursday, 21 November 2013.

This will be a special race:

Towbackrace
There are marks spread around the course. Participants collect points by sailing from mark to mark (which will be called a leg). Each leg is associated with a number of points. Participants are free to choose what legs they sail, and in what order.
- It's NOT obligated to round all marks, you are ranked by the total amount of points.
- You will NOT receive points if you sail the same leg (in the same direction) a second time
- You may choose any mark to start from
- You should clearly communicate via the chat when you have completed a leg, for example "I completed leg M2-M4".

Markrounding or -cutting
Marks are to be cut, your track has to touch the mark (at maximum zoon level) in order for that mark to be the end of the previous leg and the start of the next leg.
With the exception of your first mark of your first leg, you may also round the marks, such that:
1. You sail complete around the mark, cutting you own track
2. You may not round land or other marks in the process of rounding the mark, your track should isolate one mark from all others and from any land.
3. If an island functions as a mark, it does not count as "land" in the above rule (2).
The track produced from the towback itself is not part of the race: you cannot cut or round a mark while being towed back.
Examples of rounding and cutting marks

Ranking
- The participants will be ranked on their number of points in descending order (the more points the better)
- If two participants have the same number of points, the one that completed his last leg first will be ranked higher than the other. If it is unclear who was first, both participants are ranked equally
- All participants will be ranked
- No G-SCOW is awarded, as this is not a normal practice race, there will be special titles to win though.

____________________________

RACE START
The race starts 18:00 utc
Choose any mark to start from

RACE FINISH
Towback for the official race is at 20:00 utc, the practice race will stop when all participants are placed back at SOL start. Marks cut or rounded while being towed to SOL start don't count.

COURSE
Marks 2, 3, 4 and 5 form the begin and end of the legs. Marks 1 and 6 form a gate, If you sail through this gate, you will receive 3 bonus points as soon as your current leg is completed. You will receive these bonus points at most once per leg.

USEFUL NOTE
The amount of points per leg is roughly equal the the number of minutes it should take to complete.

If map and description (table) conflict, description is leading.

TITLES TO EARN
Apart from the ranking some titles can be earned while racing:
Sailing salesman: Sailed past all marks
Gatekeeper: Sailed trough gate every leg
Chef cook: longest bbq (only if significantly long)
Explorer: Sailed past a mark no-one else sailed past

=========================
RESULTS:

As kroppyer finished his last leg before Careka did, he is ranked above Careka.
As JakeS finished his last leg before glynnwi did, he is ranked a bove glynnwi.
Go4iT retired during the race.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
