2011-07-06 16:41:33 - Tall Ships Races - excluded from SYC ranking
By popular demand, due to the impact on SYC ranking of the choice of boat without official handicapping, the SYC ranking of all the Tall Ships Races has been withdrawn.

You are all, therefore, at liberty to pick and choose among the tall ships - why not race a different one each race.

Unofficial handicapping results will be forthcoming (or you can calculate them yourself) using the data provided by 76T!!

:-)

If the choice of boats had been restricted to four and you had to choose a different boat for each event, wouldn't the scoring for SYC ranking have been viable?

ybwcobblerslast - yeps... no question about it.

The "buddy-up" with Sail Training International came about fairly last minute and went from a germ of an idea to the races in just a few weeks. Normally a SOL buddy-up has a good lead-in and we have time to think round the issue - this time the focus was on getting all the boats ready and your lateral-thinking approach just didn't occur I think!

Next year, things will be done better!!

RC... this was an OUTSTANDING effort and one that will, no doubt, increase SOL visibility and hopefully increase participation.

I like Cobblers suggestion as well. Then just take the TOTAL elapsed time for all legs as the rank at the end. That way, perhaps there would be some different names to enjoy line-honors accolades and the rankings would still reflect the pro-performances.

Again, WD!!!!

SHamPir - that is how the Series ranking would work ... so deffo an idea for next year (if SOL doesn't have official handicapping in place).

Thanks :-)

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
