"early in the morning on day 26"
youtube (link should take you to 0:26:22 in the video)

There must be exact finish times somewhere...

The rest of the video is worth watching as well.

Dana1 found this and mentioned in the chat:

Steinlager 2 sails to first leg of Whitbread

"The total elapsed time since the September 2 start of the race in Portsmouth, Great Britain was 25 days, 20 hours and 46 minutes. "

Been watching my collection of Whitbread movies and VOR movies and am taking time to reflect of exactly how good sailors Sir Peter Blake and Conny van Rietschoten was... Masters... RIP to both.
Sir Peter Blake in particular was a genius when sailing was involved...

Had goosebumps seeing the footage of him and Grant Dalton coming in 1st & 2nd into Auckland in that 89/90 Whitbread... that squall at the end...

Tragic that some fool with greed as a motive cut short his life. We lost a great man indeed...

OK, I know I am a bit slow on the uptake but I would like to know when the second leg starts (and where I should have looked for that information).

Thanks

Must admit that having watched a lot of footage of the VO70's in the southern ocean I'd rather do the voyage on Steinie2 if pressured to do so... She may be much slower than the modern breed of speed machines but she is way tougher

I notice that there are no ice gates or southern latitude boundary that we must observe. I don't know if this was the case for the real race, but it is now for all around the world races. I am not necessarily advocating that we should have such limitations, but if realism is something we are striving for then it may very well be that the best virtual course for this leg would be sheer suicide in real life. Just a thought. I will be reinforcing Hirilondë's bow for ice breaking just in case. ;-)

Ice gates make a lot of sense IRL. Still, it is interesting to route without them in SOL.

Even so, I ended up setting up some gates.
Not "ice" gates, actually, but points on the Antarctic Coast that I have to leave to starboard.

Sanave
68 57.822s 000 35.645e

Sor Mondane 01
69 16.394s 014 59.413e

Sor Mondane 02
68 28.407s 033 32.456e

Napier Mtns
65 58.389s 051 01.731e

Please forgive the rather arbitrary naming of these points.

Also, I have no clue as to whether using these WPs in a router will help or hurt the time to arrival at Fremantle.

Africa by Sea - Abidjan to Swakopmund


Our exploration of Africa by Sea continues. Next, it’s off to Swakopmund, on the water’s edge of the Kalahari desert. It’s a wind-blasted coast, and a venue of choice for those seeking to set wind-powered speed records. More likely than not, we’ll have to beat into it in our Steinlager II, to finally find some shelter behind the walls of Platz am Meer where there is a marina of sorts. Only 2200nm!
