2010-02-06 22:06:19 - DAY 7 PRE ZILT RACE PRACTICE MATCHRACING - OPEN INVITATION
DAY 7 – SANDOWN, IoW TO PEGWELL BAY, E KENT

Start: 1000utc
From: 50.65 / -1.16
To: 51.32 / 1.36

On the last day of practice matchracing the fleet that departed Sandown was a little smaller than before but with one new addition, chrissq. Winds were 12kts from the NE but due to back and strengthen and then veer and weaken so the approx. 112nm to Pegwell Bay should take about 10hrs altogether.

By 1200utc the fleet was spread across a front of 2.49nm and there was only 0.3nm in straight-line distance to go between #1 and #9!!

1500utc saw the main group 51nm (straight line) from Pegwell Bay, at this stage werner and newsartist were taking a more central-Channel course, and chrissq and pc were a few nm behind. As pc had started 15mins late, that he had closed the gap so well was remarkable.

1730utc and the fleet is not nearly so spread. While pc is about 28nm from the finish (straight line dtg) and werner and newsartist can be found steaming up the Channel, the main “gaggle” who are sailing very tightly together are about 27nm (crows flight) from Pegwell. Vic has said that one of the most uncomfortable night moorings he ever experienced was at Pegwell – here's hoping this practice fleet have a more enjoyable time before race day dawns!

1830utc – what a difference an hour makes. The fleet is now split – offshore are Scott and Vic followed by woody55 and werner, and close inshore are pc, robert and batchg while Rainbow is placed between these two groups. News is now closer to France than England and chrissq has headed France-wards – as nothing has been heard from this SOLer it may be that they were only coincidentally at Sandown for the start this morning.

Just after 2100utc the winner of today's race, batchg, romped into Pegwell Bay, closely followed by Vic and the Siamese Twins (robert and Scott). The rest of the fleet arrived thereafter.

The results for today then are

1st batchg
2nd Vic
3rd robert
4th Scott
5th pc
6th Rainbow
7th werner
8th woody55
9th newsartist

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

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!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
