OK, I'll send them to you.

But I disagree with your statement that it makes no diff to us. And now I'm getteing real petty and whiny.
It makes a diff overall ranking wise and its the overall position that is used in SOLs ranking. Speaking purely for my self - dont think anybody else is as whiny as I am - I know that several uprisings passed me on the final leg. Them TWA 180 and my gybing at VMG. I sat there scratching my head and fired up Navmonpc (and I know it is not acurate) but Whoaa!! How dey do dat???

Some may have noticed that I'm a really competetive kinda guy:)

Tom, i don't mind you beeing competitive.
But you should also have been competitive before the race when comparing polars.
It was as obvious then as it is now that uprising had that polarbend at certain windspeeds.
For reasons known to you you choose i believe the Katrinautic as you thought that was the best boat. Complaining in hindsight is always a bit easy . I wonder if we would have had this same discussion as katrinautic had won?

To A Gage: I didn't notice the discrepancy, and I went over those polar diagrams in non-mathematical detail---and nobody else mentioned them in the chat. I chose 'uprising' on the basis of better up and down-wind performance at all wind speeds, and fastest speed on a reach----but I didn't spot the "Faster-than-the-wind at 180" at all. I hope that the designer receives all due credit for his effort----and wonder how his work compares with that of other professionally designed boats--- I wonder if some of these designs etc could be made available to SOLers---just for interest's sake. The race is over and I'm reasonably happy--except for an unfortunate course-HOOK, due to a middle of the night wind change.But that was my fault!!!

If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Tempest: I was competetive in my selection. I decided that all the "realy fast guys" would choose uprising, so I figgered i'd be better off in the "second best" boat. I'm also a sucker for a pretty face:)
Anyhoo, as history will show - it worked.

The real issue here is the "absolute denial" and wierd explanations after the fact.
All boats have bulges in their polars.
The keel dipping lower in water giving greater speed at that windspeed.
Boats can sail faster than the wind at TWA 180.
Its not uncommon that boats can be designed to sail faster at a specific windspeed and direction.
One polar is in m/s but the one useg in the race is in knots. I could go on.

Its just a game, so somebody could have said: Oopss - we really screwed up here. And that would have been it. End of discussion.

And Tempest. We would have had the same ddiscussion if katrin had had the same bulge. As I said: "I'm a real competetive guy" and I would have pointed it out myself.

Here are the ratings based on WhyNot's archived weather added to mine. There are still a few gaps, but should be much closer than the ones based on the pre-race forecast:

imsyc_uprising 1.000
imsyc_katrinautic2011 1.061
imsyc_falcon 1.080
imsyc_nyd66 1.091
imsyc_Raspberry 1.094
imsyc_JBSD66 1.135
imsyc_scandinavia 1.136
imsyc_j 1.149
imsyc_mano 1.167
imsyc_lb66 1.189
imsyc_pjtr 1.199

*Corrected time ranking attached for all boats currently finished.* Congrats to all concerned!

The ranking is still top heavy with Uprisings and Katrins, but most of the "usually" fast crowd chose those boats. I'll do a final calc if anyone can fill in the missing gribs.

Africa by Sea - Abidjan to Swakopmund


Our exploration of Africa by Sea continues. Next, it’s off to Swakopmund, on the water’s edge of the Kalahari desert. It’s a wind-blasted coast, and a venue of choice for those seeking to set wind-powered speed records. More likely than not, we’ll have to beat into it in our Steinlager II, to finally find some shelter behind the walls of Platz am Meer where there is a marina of sorts. Only 2200nm!
