	Post annotated by Incognito : This thread was moved from the category Races. We should get time for one good match race before the Start of the Grey Whale race. All are welcome to take part! This will begin near Guerrero Negro, at a time to be determined, (Thursday?) Proceed to 28.1n 114.2w. Folks may want to have private mini-races to that location? A good part-way destination is the island at 26.7n 113.2w. I will start for that island at 2400z if anyone wants to play. Then, tomorrow to Guerrero Negro.

	news - I liked your suggestion in chat to make the run to Guerrero Negro in two parts: But FIRST you need to get to the location for the matchracing at 28.1n 114.2w. The proposal from newsartist (and agreed) thus far is to make this journey in two legs: 1. go from the Start to the island at 26.7n 113.2w(San Ignacio). 2. Then go on 28.1n 114.2w (?Guerrero Negro). Gives a chance for people to join up to cruise to the matchrace start together!

	ALL ARE INVITED There will be an informal casual practice matchrace on Thurday, 11 March for anyone who wants to join in. Time: 1800utc Start: Beach at 28.03N 114.19W where RC and gang are waiting. Route: North to the "flat" point at 29.11N 114.71W - beach boat to finish, there will be BBQ later Suggested race for later is SW to the islands and back to today's start. Good reaching practice! If you can't make today's start, you could always meet the fleet on the Northern beach. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2010-03-11 14:34:28 ---

	Thursday Match Race Results p.1 Smo 0207 * tie for First* p.1 Tazumaki 0207 p.3 76Trombones 0208 p.4 Stoertebaker 0209 scored at line extension, sailed into bay p.5 RainbowChaser p.6 newsartist It was an 'interesting' Finish. Smo led Taz by a tiny margin nearing the line, but the updates were out of phase and Tazumaki 'flipped' first. Call it a tie for First and Second. With 76Trombones right there for Third. Complicating things, darkness fell five minutes before the Finish. RainbowChaser was 11.0nm out, and the touring newsartist was 52.7 away. (Bacchus is 36nm out and appears to be joining us.) --- Last Edited by newsartist at 2010-03-12 02:43:16 ---

San Francisco to New York 2022
Cornelius Vanderbilt, who made his money - that his descendants enjoyed to spend sailing and racing yachts - by recognizing that getting from the East Coast to the West Coast of the USA was best done by rail, would have been more than a little amused to see SOL organizing yacht races over the very route by water he made redundant. It's about 13,000 nautical miles, which compares with less than 3000 statute miles by train! Six years ago, the best SOLers managed to complete the passage from San Francisco to New York in around 36 days, sailing our much-used veteran ocean greyhound, the Super Maxi 100. Time to try again, this time on the VO70. If you aim for a SOG of 18kn, it'll only take you a month.
