Race Leaderboard

Commentary
Over the period, this - our last TR of the year - was open, Aeolus proved once again, for the benefit of anyone who doubted it, that round Cape Horn, the wind it blows and mostly from the West. With a fair few islands scattered across our course from East to West and back again, any shift in direction into the south for this one worked out would be more helpful reducing distance sailed, than shifts into the north. This was primary. However, wind strength could not be ignored, as our St Cruz just keeps going faster downwind until 31kn of TWS is exceeded, but barely loses any upwind VMG no matter how hard it blows.

As it turned out, this best mix of south westerly gales prevailed early on during the 10-day window the race was open, and anybody who started between 10:00 and 11:00 utc on Saturday, December 2 had a good chance of getting a T10 result. It was Kipper1258 who timed this best, starting that bit later than most everybody else, thus pipping bonknhoot by 4 seconds with StIngFI a further very few (18) seconds adrift. Close racing as always and well done, guys!

But on this occasion - the last race of the year - the congratulations need to go on, since Kipper1258’s P1 also gave him P2 in the Overall by 3 points from bonknhoot in third. Rumskib, of course, had already secured the series in November with an absolutely epic run through the Huelva delta, but sportsman that he is, had come down to Cape Horn to have a go, but on this occasion only managed 9th. Foot of the gas, perhaps? But what a series, nevertheless, mensch! 11 T10s and 1 DNC.
