2010-07-20 21:22:50 - Re: CHI-MAC PRACTICE RACING - 1. Rabbit Start for Chi-Mac Practice Racers
The Rabbit Start was messed up due to the fleet of hounds milling around and not being in the right place at the right time... so a regular practice race was run instead.

Results of this are

1. Tazumaki (GER)
2. Svein (NOR)
3. Glynnwi (GBR)
4. RainbowChaer *GBR)
5. Matoto (ITA)
6. newsartist (USA)

EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN THE RACE AT ANY TIME!!

----------------------------------
RULES FOR RUNNING STARTS
(paraphrased by newsartist

The gun fires at a known time. You must cross between the Mark Boats to start. Thou Shalt Not Cross the Line before the BOOM!

If you cross early, and are protested, you must circle around either end of the line (Marks,) and cross again properly.

You may choose to hang close at TWA=0, or a slow angle, or to charge in at full speed. A pocket calculator is handy to judge time to the line!

Except for not being in front of the Line in the last ten minutes of Prestart, there are no restrictions on where you may sail before the gun.

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!
