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)

The second practice race in this year's Chi-Mac warmup will be tonight, Wednesday, 21 July.

TIME: 1800utc

START: A running start across the line between M1 and M5

COURSE: Round M3 (leave to your STARBOARD) - Round M2 (Leave to your STARBOARD) - Finish

FINISH: Cross the line between M1 and M5

Attached is a simple .jpg of the course!

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

N.B. Minor adjustments to the course will be made if the winds vary significantly between now and race time!!

SEE YOU THERE!!
----------------------------------
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.

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 by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


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!
