2010-02-25 23:28:06 - Extremely Unofficial Matchrace Underway - Google Earth file
Impatient to wait until the morning, four of the usual matchracing suspects (sassy, robert, perenkist and rainbow) started off at 2030... joined from the SOL start-point at 2320 by two others (newsartist/africa).

The attached .kmz file should open in GoogleEarth and show how they are doing!!

Reports from the race:

1. newsartist 23:49: Perenkist, Robert, Sassy, newsartist, RC and Africa, (order by eyeball)

2. newsartist 00:09: At the frist turn: Sassy, Robert, Perenkist, newsartist, RC, and Africa

3. newsartist 03:03: Wake up RC! Your autopilot cut early, and you are a long way from your morning start!
RainbowChaser 03:43: news! only just heard your hail of 0303 but thank you!!
RainbowChaser 03:52: I wonder if the 90d portion is because I hit the SOL boundary? I never set that as a DC.
RainbowChaser 04:00: OK next DC: 05:12:16 / 352d!! there8d better not be another server generated one before then!!

2010-02-26 10:34:25 - RACE ONE: ZILT PRACTICE MATCHRACING
The offical first Zilt practice Matchrace started at 1000utc with only four racers - africa, Bacchus, Perenkist and Rainbow.

By 1030 africa was leading Perenkist from Bacchus but Rainbow had already fallen foul of a laundry-run-aground and was lying 4th (SOLing and domestic chores don't always mix well) :-)

1300 and there are some changes in the interim rankings: 1. Bacchus 2. africa 3. Perenkist 4. Rainbow

1845 and Race 1 is suffering the effects of easing winds and with a change in destination (to help the start of Race 2) there has been a change in rankings again: 1. africa 2. Bacchus 3. Rainbow 4.Perenkist. 76Trombones and Smo are also following the course.

The finish of this Race 1 was a little curtailed as the weather meant the fleet were running behind the start-time for Race Two.

Accordingly,the race stopped at 28W with final rankings as before.

2010-02-26 17:45:36 - RACE TWO ZILT PRACTICE MATCHRACING 2100hrs UTC
NOTICE OF AMENDMENT

The first matchrace was popular with its participants and as there has been no interest in a re-run of Race 1 at 2000hrs, the racing this evening is amended in line with the attached picture of the new course.

Start: 2100hrs / as close to 2100hrs as the Race 1 participants make it!!

From: 39.09 / -28.00

To AND Round: Faial SOL Race Start point

Back To: 39.02 / -28.02

ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN IN!!

FURTHER CORRECTION DUE TO LATE RUNNING OF RACE 1

The Start for Race 2 will now be:

39.02 / -28.02

The Start Time remains as close to 2100 as possible, but will be held for the arrival of the Race 1 boats.

RACE TWO REPORTING

Due to the overrun of Race 1, the start for Race 2 was staggered with some starting from the revised start point and others (Race1 participants) from the 28W line (the change in perf due to angle being the offsetting factor).

Altogether,the following boats are racing:

africa (CRO), Bacchus (NED), news (USA), robert (SWE), veritassemper (GBR), Smo (FIN), Scott (AUS), Rainbow(GBR),??sassy(SWE), ??Vic (GBR)

(??=boats that didn't go at the gun, but were positioned to race).


OVERNIGHT REPORT

newsartist 02:02: The following were on land believed to have finished in this order: 1-RC, 2-Bacchus, 3-?Africa, 4?-Scott, newsartist finished at 0152, veritassemper just before Sassy at 0153.

newsartist 02:04: Robert missed the island, closest approach was at 0154. Smo is still 17.8 miles out.

The gun fired at 1800utc and seven boats appear to have started in the race - africa (CRO), Bacchus (NED), Calamity (NED), newsartist (USA), Rainbow (GBR), sassy (SWE) and Scott (AUS). Smo (FIN) also started but appears to be heading for the Race 2 rounding point!


By1849 the fleet had grown by one,welcome to Tazumaki (GER), Smo had realised the new rounding for today and the fleet had split into two groups.

Heading E,for a clockwise rounding of Terceira were newsartist,sassy and Scott,while heading S with a counter-clockwise rounding in mind were africa, robert, Calamity, Bacchus,Smo,Rainbow and Tazumaki.

At 1854 africa discovered that he had been planning to round a different island.. sadly this meant his gybing was left a little late. Smo, meanwhile, had stopped for a quick run ashore!! In the N group, newsartist and Scott were running v close together with sassy a little further to the south. In the S group, Bacchus, Tazumaki and robert were neck and neck, with Rainbow a little further back.

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
