2010-06-25 22:17:45 - VICTORIA-MAUI PRACTICE RACE(S)
Post annotated by RainbowChaser :
This thread was moved from the category Races.
There will be Practice Racing on the Victoria-Maui course, at times and courses to be determined.

As always, these are informal races and open to all, and you can join if progress if need be.

With the Kiel race starting tomorrow, the earliest Practice Race would be 1800z Sunday, starting at the official race Start point.

Details will be posted on the Vic-Maui Chat, and also here.

Don't sail too far away so you can do some short races with us!

rc:stoert:news: would this be a valid practice race positioning for two mark boats, if winds stay the same as predictor, only probably 4-5knots wind next couple of days....
start of practice: race start.
leave to port mark 1 at position..48.377...-123.302..
leave to port or jump sli at position..48.424...-123.738..
leave to port mark 2 at position..48.501...-123.264..
to finish headland at postion..48.498...-123.305.
approx 16 miles at 5 knots...
and it would put us amongst those lovely isles to the north west.

Good morning glynn - I don't think [b/news saw your plan but.. as the winds are now forecast to be lighter again, you will be pleasantly surprised at the shape of the course that is now in place!! Looks v similar to the one you proposed - just smaller!! :-)

As for artwork - light years better than mine!!!

PRACTICE RACE 1 - 27 JUNE 2010

TIME: 1800utc

START: SOL Race Start

COURSE: Leave Mark_3 to port - Leave Mark_2 to port - finish at Mark_1

FINISH: Mark_1 (48.4553/-123.2978)

Attached .jpg of the course for ref.

The aim of tonight's course is to reposition the practice fleet away from the main routes of pre-start SOLers.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Cocos to Sagar Island


Kapil Muni, incarnation of Lord Vishnu, founder of the Samkhya school of philosophy, disturbed from his meditation, in his wrath reduced the 60,000 sons of Sagar to ashes, as they dug the earth to retrieve the sacrificial horse that Lord Indra, the king of the Gods, stole off Sagar, thus creating the Sagara (ocean). Aeons later, Bhagiratha, a descendant of Sagara, asked Ganga to cleanse the ashes of the 60,000 princes, and her resultant torrential fall from heaven created the great river and where it met the ocean, the princes’ souls were washed and raised to heaven and Gangasagar (Sagar Island) was formed. So, let us join the pilgrimages to Kapi Muni’s Temple (see above) and race 2400nm from Cocos Island deep in the Sagara thence, in rather rapid Rapido 60s.
