Board » Technical Support » Start of Leg 5

A minor point of inquiry---is the start of Leg 5 of the SOL World Race, 2011-2012, REALLY the 18th of JANUARY, 2012, as set out in the notice board to the right of this column, and also in the NOR?
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.
Or is it maybe 2011, as written in NOR-text?
And why at 01.00 UTC???
You're right, Sambal --- 2011-----
Boy, did we muck up THAT start!!
(Or has someone invented a time machine, just for SOLers?)
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.
Now it starts on "18 MARCH, 2011"
At least its creeping up now in the NOR. There's a chance for us yet!!!!
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.
0100 UTC is just character building for all the Northern Europeans, still in mid winter hibernating mode.

IRL in NZ it will be a nice sunny afternoon and I will be on one of the course marshall yachts, so I will be starting with DCs as well.

If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

The Beagle in the Bay of Islands 2024


And west the Beagle went again to reach the Bay of Islands on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island on the 19th of December. Darwin was not nearly as impressed by the inhabitants here, commenting that the Maori natives were “savages with the character of a much lower order than the Tahitians” and many of the English settlers were of “the most worthless character” and “included runaway convicts”, not anticipating that less than 200 years later a blend of these characteristics would combine to create a nation of serial Rugby World Cup Winners – evolution, eh, Charlie! The Beagle sailed on swiftly, but we will stay a little longer and explore c 200nm of the North Island’s glorious eastern coast, up and down, as ever in our replica Tall Ship Class B.
