2010-03-25 17:12:04 - RIO CIRCUIT - PRACTICE MATCHRACING
Post annotated by RainbowChaser :
This thread was moved from the category Races.
There are some small islands inland of the Rio Circuit start that are begging to be matchraced round!

Consequently africa has suggested a rounding of a couple of them for tonight... as follows:

START:
1800utc tonight AND/OR 0800utc 26mar10

FROM:
1. Rio Circuit start point (today)
2. 22.858 / -43.121 (tomorrow)

TO AND ROUND:

1. the island at 22.806 / -43.279
2. the island at 22.743 / -43.031
AND

FINISH: beaching at 22.858 / -43.121.

ALL SOLERS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN IN AT ANY POINT!!

THIS IS AN IDEAL CHANCE TO PRACTISE THE BOAT AND TO BE SOCIABLE!!

See attached pic for route!

RACE ONE - 1800utc 25mar10

Only five matchracers started with the gun at 1800utc (two others have booked their places for the 0800start from tonights finish).

africa (CRO)
Incog (BEL)
Rainbow (GBR)
Smo (FIN)
Victorious (GBR)

BMD (USA) started a little while later but grounded alongside Incog who was called away unexpectedly.

Bliksem (NED) started at 1839utc.

At the first rounding the rankings were:

1. Vic
2. Rainbow
3. africa

4 is up for grabs as Smo (on DCs) didn't round the little island and Bliksem is now on course!! Smo, sadly, ran aground a little while later!!

Mk went direct to the finish to set up BBQ and Spin joined him :-) Thanks guys!

After the second rounding it was clear that,of the four boats still participating, Vic was going to romp home, Rainbow/africa possibly vying for second BUT Bliksem, who had started 39mins later than these three was definitely gaining.

A definite chase to the finish then!

The finish times posted were:

Vic @ 2212 = 3h 58m
Bliksen @ 2250 = 4h 11m
africa @ 2220 = 4h 20m
Rainbow @ 2222 = 4h 22m


A BIT Thank you to africa for proposing this matchrace course!!

START 0800utc 26 March 2010

Matchracers who started this run (thus far are)

76T (CAN)

5. Spin @ 1246 = 4hr 46m

Those who didn't finish were all side-tracked by work, Dr appointments or other IRL commitments!!

NEXT GROUP START IS 1700utc


1700utc START saw five racers at/not too far off the gun:

newsartist (USA)
Rainbow (GBR)
sassy (SWE)
Smo (FIN)
stoertebaker (AUT)

FIRST ROUNDING

1. sassy
2. stoerte
3. Smo
4. news
5. Rain

Unfortunately we didn't have time to make the second rounding as the boats were teleported to the start of the SOL race, so these rankings prevail!

Kamchatsky to Tromsoe 2024

Just before the light failed entirely in Antarctica, Skip Novak managed to get his Pelagic 77 out of the ice and north up the Pacific to Kamchatsky. The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
