2014-08-07 23:40:37 - 2014 SSANZ Safety at Sea NZ Spars and Rigging 60
The FIRST short, informal, practice race will be held on Sunday, 2 Februari 2014.

This will be a special race:

Towbackrace
There are marks spread around the course. Participants collect points by sailing from mark to mark (which will be called a leg). Each leg is associated with a number of points. Participants are free to choose what legs they sail, and in what order.
- It's NOT obligated to round all marks, you are ranked by the total amount of points.
- You will NOT receive points if you sail the same leg (in the same direction) a second time
- You may choose any mark to start from
- You should clearly communicate via the chat when you have completed a leg, for example "I completed leg M2-M4".

Markrounding or -cutting
Marks are to be cut, your track has to touch the mark (at maximum zoon level) in order for that mark to be the end of the previous leg and the start of the next leg.
Why cutting marks? Because you need to go to the mark itself to collect your points. You may also do a 360 around the mark if that's easier.

Ranking
- The participants will be ranked on their number of points in descending order (the more points the better)
- If two participants have the same number of points, the one that completed his last leg first will be ranked higher than the other. If it is unclear who was first, both participants are ranked equally
- All participants will be ranked
- No G-SCOW is awarded, as this is not a normal practice race.

____________________________

RACE START
The race starts 18:00 utc
Choose any mark to start from

RACE FINISH
Towback for the official race is at 20:00 utc, the practice race will stop when all participants are placed back at SOL start. Marks cut or rounded while being towed to SOL start don't count.

USEFUL NOTE
The amount of points per leg is roughly equal the the number of minutes it should take to complete, for m6 this is not true.

COURSE PICTURE AND POINTS:
See NOR here. If the points in the picture do not match with those in the table, the table leads.

SPECIAL:
Bonuspoints will be awarded for using some (unknown) words in the chat, so keep chatting people! ;) [1 point per word]

ANNOUNCING LEGS
You have to announce in the chat that you have completed a leg like this:
I completed leg m4-sol
I completed m5 - m6
kroppybot, I have completed m3-sol

You can ask kroppybot about your route and points like this:
kroppybot, what are my points?

And you can ask the complete score board like this:
kroppybot, what's the score?

You can also ask someone else's score:
kroppybot, how many points does RainbowChaser have?

___________________________________

17:25utc leg M5-M4 is 18 points, as stated in the table. The map falsely shows 28 points. This is a typo in the map.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 3

Leg Three of our Round North Island Series, in partnership with SSANZ, keeps the pressure on! From Cook Strait, the fleet turns north for a 187 nautical mile passage up the east coast to Napier. It may look like a quick overnighter, but shifting coastal winds and the ever-lively Cook Strait demand sharp focus. In our responsive Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed racer and powerful downwind performer, tactical decisions and precise timing will make all the difference!
