As promised:

Pursuit Starts
AL 18:20:33
AS 18:00:00
B 18:03:33
C 18:40:12
D 18:41:51

In pursuit racing, boats start staggered based on their handicaps. The slowest boats get a head start and the fast ones attempt to chse them down. If all goes correctly the fleet converges at the finish and the final ranking is the order that they cross the line.

Course is a windward-leeward-windward with gates at the top and bottom of the course. Start between Mark_1 and Mark_5, round through the windward gate of Mark_2 and Mark_3, back down through the leeward gate and finish between Marks 2 and 3.



If the fleet elects to use a "standard" start, TCF are as follows:

TCF
AL 0.740
AS 0.591
B 0.612
C 0.973
D 1.000

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!
