Re: lenght of finish lines

Board » Race proposals

Thanks for your quick response.
The point is not, that I miss the line when I am online; Incognito's point was - and mine is - many have to finish via DCs. And the shorter the line, the more the risk to miss it.

regards

Stu

PS: the current Leg 3 line is 2nm long.

lenght of finish lines

Board » Race proposals

In Incognito's race proposal manual you will still find a proposed finish line lenght of 5 nm for offshore races. For some good reasons - and we all agreed.
We are sailing now the second race in a row against a miniature finish line. Anybody care to explain?

Rich: Thank you for opening this thread. It is useful and welcome I think.
In this early stage I am just shocked very sorry about all who have lost somebody.

Re: Length of Finish Lines

Board » General Discussion

Another interesting finish line at the NASA race just 0.5nm long and just a half is useable....

In our guidelines we are finding a finish line lenght between 1nm and 20nm, according to the length of the race.

Probably we should talk about the purpose of doing it difficult (or even not). A short race can get additional thrill with a difficult finish line. A longer race should have a clear, uncluttered last leg towards the FL, so a DC is easy. IMHO.

best regards

Re: Length of Finish Lines

Board » General Discussion

According to our course guides (Incognitos excellent work) finish lines should have a certain length and angle. So some finish lines recently where too short. And I don't agree with the "perpenticular angle" thingy because sometimes its very unhandy.

IRL sailing: There are no specific rules for finishing lines. Sometimes race commitees drawing very short lines or have even marks to round for finishing a race - just to keep a clearer record of the finishers.
But that is not very suitable for SOL.
