A long time ago there was a sort-of convention established with respect to week races that are not buddied or mirroring real ones, namely that they start at the UTC equivalent of 1800/1900 LOCAL so that those in that region/country are able to start their local race in their evening.

I think it might be the decent thing to do to keep to this here? Aaron's family are aware of our plans so, who knows, may participate in the series in some way :-)

That would be a rare honour indeed...

Impressive Tyger... you have given this lots of thought.
Thanks WW, but it becomes intuitive after 46 years sailing around this part of the world

Tyger - do you have the start/finish coords for the races yet?

We don't have to go the full GoogleEarth creation route, providing we have start/finish/waypoint coords and in this case an explanation of what each leg represents (that's pretty much already done in this thread).

What would also be useful is a note of the bounds for each race. The racing zone is a box with min/max lats/lons and it would be good to know how big the boxes should be for each race.

At present we have only a couple of weathersystems for Australian races, so once we have the individual legs here, I can see what else needs to be set up.

If it would help to have a quick Skype session to run through this, then just holler!

:-)

RC - Been a bit under the weather with the flu (winter here) and sinuses have been running like a tap. Clearing up now. I plan to finish off Leg1, Adelaide to Melbourne details tomorrow (Sunday) and will included bounding box co-ords.
Details of the other legs will follow quickly.
I used Skype in the early days when sound quality was poor. Because I make lots of international calls, the telco package I have now includes calls to UK & USA at 2 cents per minute ($0.02) - dirt cheap & high quality. If you email your phone number, I'll call so we can co-ordinate race details.

Vuelta de la Isla Saltes Sprint 2025


Welcome to Spain for our first sprint of Q4. This is a traditional 20 NM local race around Huelva in SW Spain. Chances are a quick circumnavigation will involve some upwind work weaving your way round the mud flats of the upper reaches of the Huelva delta in our Fox 9.50. Fair winds!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!

Africa by Sea 2025 - Mogadishu to Suez


Nearly there; only 2500nm to go, round the Horn and up the Red Sea to Suez into what will more than likely be more headwinds for this sixth leg of our African circumnavigation, to be followed in September by a final sneaky dash up the canal back to where we started all those months ago. We’ll be sailing a not entirely appropriate-for-upwind-work 60ft Trimaran!
