	Post annotated by Incognito : This thread was moved from the category General Discussion. I draw the attention of the SOL Committee on a suspected bug related to the overall time of the mentioned vessel achieved today in the Boston - Newport timed race as per leaderboard .The protest is presented with a smile of sympaty , but is seriosly supported by the following FACTS 1)Sabre77 alledgedly completed the course in 4 hours 41 minutes and 16 seconds after leaving Boston at 08.35Z . The tws and angles on the course at that time span were not justifying such result , given an average speed ( without accounting for extra run ) of 28,01 Knots !!! . 2)The boats that completed the course ending from 2nd to 10th position had tws between 19.... and 23 knots , with almost perfect reach angles all the way , and logged an average speed of 23,6 knots , completing the course in approx 5,5 hours. 3)Well renowned boats departed in the same time window as Sabre77 and did the following results : JuJu.....dep 0749...took 6H11M47S Jepsom...dep 0751...took 5H50M19S K1W1.....dep 0826...took 5H45M56S Odysseus.dep 0858...took 5H47M32S Urania...dep 0907...took 5H49M33S Due to above evidence I claim that Sabre77 time is INCORRECT . Could the Committe look into this matter and , should this evidence be confirmed, amend the leaderboard accordingly ? Thanks WINSTON_4

	Check the course sailed by "2by4" also. I think he chose the turbocharged hydrofoil for his run. Where do I click to run one of those!

	My estimate for Sabre77 uses the distance traveled as 194 nm (plotting his track) and elapsed time of 4.75 hours. Average speed 41 kts!?! While not as impressive as a first place ranking, "2by4" sailed a VO70 over 220 nm in just over 6 hours, including a long upwind, in a hair over 6 hours, at an average speed of ... over 36 kts.

	I would point out that I was grounded for part of my run - maybe 10-15 minutes JuJu

	I think there is a bug in the system... I started at 20:00 UTC and try to change course at 23:00 UTC but was unable to login to the website. So I went to sleep... My boat went to the end of the map and the next morning at 09:00 UTC or something like that I changed course to the finish line. I think the time of the leaderboard is from the end of the map till the finish. Cheers, Sabre77
