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

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!

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
