Board » Practice Racing » VICTORIA-MAUI PRACTICE RACE(S)

Post annotated by RainbowChaser :
This thread was moved from the category Races.
There will be Practice Racing on the Victoria-Maui course, at times and courses to be determined.

As always, these are informal races and open to all, and you can join if progress if need be.

With the Kiel race starting tomorrow, the earliest Practice Race would be 1800z Sunday, starting at the official race Start point.

Details will be posted on the Vic-Maui Chat, and also here.

Don't sail too far away so you can do some short races with us!
rc:stoert:news: would this be a valid practice race positioning for two mark boats, if winds stay the same as predictor, only probably 4-5knots wind next couple of days....
start of practice: race start.
leave to port mark 1 at position..48.377...-123.302..
leave to port or jump sli at position..48.424...-123.738..
leave to port mark 2 at position..48.501...-123.264..
to finish headland at postion..48.498...-123.305.
approx 16 miles at 5 knots...
and it would put us amongst those lovely isles to the north west.

not as arty as stoert's..perhaps he could re-do. time allowing.
perhaps not, mark boats just underway
Good morning glynn - I don't think [b/news saw your plan but.. as the winds are now forecast to be lighter again, you will be pleasantly surprised at the shape of the course that is now in place!! Looks v similar to the one you proposed - just smaller!! :-)

As for artwork - light years better than mine!!!
All SOLers are invited to join in the first practice race of Vic-Maui 2010 to be held this evening Euro-time. Practice racing is a fun, totally informal and relaxed way to hone your SOLing skills and familiarise yourself with your new boat before the SOL race starts!

TIME: 1800utc

START: SOL Race Start

COURSE: Leave Mark_3 to port - Leave Mark_2 to port - finish at Mark_1

Current Races:

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
