2010-07-20 21:22:50 - Re: CHI-MAC PRACTICE RACING - 1. Rabbit Start for Chi-Mac Practice Racers
The Rabbit Start was messed up due to the fleet of hounds milling around and not being in the right place at the right time... so a regular practice race was run instead.

Results of this are

1. Tazumaki (GER)
2. Svein (NOR)
3. Glynnwi (GBR)
4. RainbowChaer *GBR)
5. Matoto (ITA)
6. newsartist (USA)

EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN THE RACE AT ANY TIME!!

----------------------------------
RULES FOR RUNNING STARTS
(paraphrased by newsartist

The gun fires at a known time. You must cross between the Mark Boats to start. Thou Shalt Not Cross the Line before the BOOM!

If you cross early, and are protested, you must circle around either end of the line (Marks,) and cross again properly.

You may choose to hang close at TWA=0, or a slow angle, or to charge in at full speed. A pocket calculator is handy to judge time to the line!

Except for not being in front of the Line in the last ten minutes of Prestart, there are no restrictions on where you may sail before the gun.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
