Board » Practice Racing » PRE ZILT RACE PRACTICE MATCHRACING - OPEN INVITATION

Posted by RainbowChaser Posts 2656 Registered at 2009-06-14 09:44:50	2010-02-06 22:06:19 - DAY 7 PRE ZILT RACE PRACTICE MATCHRACING - OPEN INVITATION
	DAY 7 – SANDOWN, IoW TO PEGWELL BAY, E KENT Start: 1000utc From: 50.65 / -1.16 To: 51.32 / 1.36 On the last day of practice matchracing the fleet that departed Sandown was a little smaller than before but with one new addition, chrissq. Winds were 12kts from the NE but due to back and strengthen and then veer and weaken so the approx. 112nm to Pegwell Bay should take about 10hrs altogether. By 1200utc the fleet was spread across a front of 2.49nm and there was only 0.3nm in straight-line distance to go between #1 and #9!! 1500utc saw the main group 51nm (straight line) from Pegwell Bay, at this stage werner and newsartist were taking a more central-Channel course, and chrissq and pc were a few nm behind. As pc had started 15mins late, that he had closed the gap so well was remarkable. 1730utc and the fleet is not nearly so spread. While pc is about 28nm from the finish (straight line dtg) and werner and newsartist can be found steaming up the Channel, the main “gaggle” who are sailing very tightly together are about 27nm (crows flight) from Pegwell. Vic has said that one of the most uncomfortable night moorings he ever experienced was at Pegwell – here's hoping this practice fleet have a more enjoyable time before race day dawns! 1830utc – what a difference an hour makes. The fleet is now split – offshore are Scott and Vic followed by woody55 and werner, and close inshore are pc, robert and batchg while Rainbow is placed between these two groups. News is now closer to France than England and chrissq has headed France-wards – as nothing has been heard from this SOLer it may be that they were only coincidentally at Sandown for the start this morning. Just after 2100utc the winner of today's race, batchg, romped into Pegwell Bay, closely followed by Vic and the Siamese Twins (robert and Scott). The rest of the fleet arrived thereafter. The results for today then are 1st batchg 2nd Vic 3rd robert 4th Scott 5th pc 6th Rainbow 7th werner 8th woody55 9th newsartist

	After seven days of informal matchracing, the fleet are now running to the Start Line - whoever is closest by 1230utc on 7 February will be the winner! The results for the 7 days racing were scored according to the new 2010 F1 points system and the totals just simply added up - those who raced in fewer races obviously got less points! - and are as follows: robert SWE 113 batchg AUS 98 Vic GBR 91 Scott AUS 89 Salmon NED 67 Rainbow GBR 50 Samr NED 45 pc GBR 41 CG GBR 32 sassy SWE 29 woody55 GBR 29 Smo FIN 25 werner GBR 17 Aztec AUS 16 newst USA 13 Wairua NZL 12 glynwwi GBR 0

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
