At the end of Practice Racing some SOLers decided to go hang near to Jubilant - probably in the hope of some of CG's excellent food!!

Start Report from RORC:

"The RORC Myth of Malham Race got off to a fine start." Reports John Burnie on The RYS Line. IRC 4 were first away and as the tide was turning on The Green many yachts chose the classic RYS line start of the island shore. However, several yachts chose the pin end and could just fly a shy kite. It was difficult to tell which end of the line paid but RORC CEO Eddie Warden Owen, further up the course believed that going for the main land shore was working better. Andy Budgen's Volvo 70, Monster Project got away well but the best start of the day was Piet Vroon's Tonnerre de Breskens. Nailing the leward end of the line with pace and hight. After a grey start, the 120 yacht fleet are now in bright sunshine and heading towards Hurst Narrows, where a favourable tide will turn in about half an hour."

Jubilant's SPOT Tracker webpage - this is the signal we are bringing on to our SOL race page.
With Jubilant appearing to be at anchor on AIS although not head to wind in SOL, the only source of info is RORC. The morning update says:

0800 BST 26.05.13 Myth of Malham Update: About 21 hours into the race and RORC Racing Manager, Nick Elliott reports that the majority of the fleet are between Start Point and the Eddystone Lighthouse. The leading boats are now round Eddystone and racing back. Monster Project was the first boat round at approx. 01:00 this morning and Monster Project is currently half way across Lyme Bay doing 11 knots.

Light airs have slowed the progress of the fleet but the wind is expected to increase during the day. The first finishers are expected by early afternoon.


Thus in the absence of news, we must presume all is well on board Jubilant!
All morning SOLers have been speculating about Jubilant's track - her SPOT tracker is offline so all we had to go on was AIS



BER Baggus (who sailed on Jubilant in the Cervantes Trophy) has thrown some light on the situation with:

"Jubilant will not be enjoying these conditions! ... She needs a breeze to get her moving - any sort of tide against her will be a major headache... They are quite close to the most beautiful town in the world though :-)"

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
