This thread was moved from the category Races.
AHOY ALL MATCHRACERS - the Giraglia 2010 is up and ready for practice and so the first matchrace will be held tonight, Sunday 11 April 2010.

TIME: 1800utc

START: SOL race start

ROUTE: To and round the island group, Iles de Lerins, at 43.52 / 7.05

FINISH: 43.70 / 7.32 (the bay of Saint-Laurent du var)

ALL ARE V WELCOME TO JOIN IN - OR IF YOU PREFER, JUST HEAD TO THE FINISH WHICH WILL BE THE START OF THE NEXT PRACTICE RACE!!


MATCHRACING FROM THE GUN ARE
crzycanuk (CAN)
newsartist (USA)
Perenkist (NED)
Rainbow (GBR)
robert1 (SWE)
stoertebaker (AUT)

glynnwi (GBR)started 4mins after the gun. Smo and Victorious joined in later too.


RANKING AFTER 1hr
(based on DTG to Iles de Lerins)

1. Rainbow 30.2
2. Perenkist AND canuk AND stoerte 30.6
5. glynnwi 30.9
6. news 31.2
7. Smo 31.8
8. africa 32.2
9. Vic 33.8


MATCHRACE FINISH CHANGE!!!

As the original finish is going to prove to be too far to go, the race will now finish by running ashore at 43.54 / 7.04 AFTER rounding the Iles de Lerins.

PRE-SLEEP RANKING

As time was pressing and some were already thinking of heading to sleep or on to tomorrow's start point, the final Ranking (based on DTG to the larger of the finish SLIs) was:

1. stoerte 6.3nm
2. Perenkist AND Rainbow 6.6nm
4. glynnwi 7.2nm
5. Smo 7.5nm
6. africa 8.9nm
7. robert 9.6nm
8. Vic 15.8nm
9. news 21.1nm
10. canuk - heading into the wide blue yonder!

This is a little skewed as both SLIs need to be rounded and all except Rainbow are more offshore, hence better placed to make the approach to the finish point.

With some heading off to other destinations overnight, the first finishers at the matchrace finish point were:

1. stoerte
2. Smo
3. africa
4. glynnwi (slightly off finish point)
5. Rainbow (just about to finish)

Perenkist didn't round the islands but arrived before everyone (hopefully got the bbq and grog ready!).

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
