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)
africa (CRO)
Bacchus (NED)

3. stoerte AND africa @1242 = 4hr 42m
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!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Baia de l'Oiseau to Carnarvon


How ever shall I return to report with clear report to the Sultan – asked Sinbad. It must be told this island and all its fables shall be expunged from the annals of every thousand and one night. The wind howls here, and sun be none (it’s Winter, Sin, ed.) and all days from the west, but let’s launch anyway and see if we can work our SOL Balloon north as the days pass aiming for Asthralaya, where The Mahabharata tells the ancients once tested mighty weapons, about a quarter and a million qasbah away (2500nm, ed.), perhaps one month.

Nantucket Sprint 2025


Welcome to Nantucket, from whence Herman Melville’s Cap’n Ahab sailed round The Horn into the northern Pacific Ocean to hunt the gray whale - whose migrations are celebrated elsewhere in SOL’s Q4 schedule - he never to return. And whaling too, as the 19th C progressed, like Ahab disappeared from Nantucket as the harbour silted up and mainland Massachusetts whaling stations benefited from rail connections. But beach life, yachting and nostalgia has rescued the island from oblivion, so to celebrate leisure, SOL gives you the Nantucket Sprint - 25nm in 29er_XX’s from Great Point to Muskeget & Tuckernuck Islands across the sound to a finish just inside the mouth of the harbour. Enjoy!
