2010-07-12 23:57:29 - Re: OUZO RALLY 1 - PRACTICE RACING
Second Ouzo Practice Race 18:00 UTC Tue July 13.
For the second race we will hold a rabbit start race (also known as a gate start).
Shortly after new weather is posted (apx 17:35~17:50 hours) I will post the course in chat (English...sorry I'm not good at any other language).
At near 18:00 I will leave the start buoy (Mark 1) on a starboard reach. 5 Minutes later I will turn back and reach back to the start mark on port tack (hopefully reaching the start mark at 18:10). At the mark I will haul in and go best VMG upwind still on port. At this point the race is on.
All the boats in the race will start by crossing my stern. They will all be on starboard tack.
I will maintain port tack till I reach lay line to the mark or to clear any obstruction. So if anyone sees any advantage in starting down the line they may do so. After I have tacked the start line is the line from Mark 1 to my tack point (because of the server delay in updating tracks this may appear to move for a couple of minutes).

I will start the course to as close to straight upwind as possible. After that at least one reaching leg, and anything else I can throw in and keep it close to 1.5 ~ 2 hours.

Oh yes:
Rule 18-- (a) No sniveling.

Rule 1 (1) (a)--Have fun.

:-)

2010-07-13 22:34:02 - Re: Rabbit Start
This only confirms what I have suspected for some time now, the sol boat is faster than regular boats.

I accept the role as proposed & will preside over the next rabbit start to be held in 1 week on the Chi-Mac course at the usual time. (7/20/2010, 18:00 utc)

This will allow the race to be conducted during local daylight conditions.

The course will be an AC style format,
3 upwind/downwind legs, the distance between the marks to be determined by the available wind to allow the event to be completed in the desired nominal time.

Raja Muda Selangor 2026 - Port Klang to Pangkor

Sailonline is delighted to be able to offer online sailors an opportunity to once again compete in all three of the offshore races of the Raja Muda Selangor International race week, organised by the Royal Selangor Yacht Club in association with the RORC, and commencing with a 75nm trip from Port Klang to Pangkor. This year we will be racing this race, and the other two, which together will count towards our Sailonline Raja Muda Series (RMI), in X-332s.
Be careful at the Pangkor Island marina – there are tidal currents of 1-2 knots, which make mooring to floating docks quite tricky.

Skimmer Dragonfly - India to East Africa 2026


In the autumn, when the rains stop and the tourists thicken in Goa and along the north western coast of India, globe skimming dragonfly climb to the skies (up to 1500m) to catch the high-altitude ITCZ winds and glide south west to East Africa. We’ll stay at sea level, where alas the winds will be less predictable, and race them there, the whole 2400nm of the way, in Carkeek 40s.

Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
