I've shortened the course a little but the layout is unchanged.

TCF
A(large) 0.974
A(small) 1.241
B 1.206
C 1.041
D 1.000

Pursuit start times:
A(large) 18:21:02
A(small) 18:00:00
B 18:02:46
C 18:16:18
D 18:19:02

If the fleet wants to try the pursuit format, the idea is as follows: The handicaps have been pre-applied. Each boat-type has it's own start time, with the slower boats going first. The faster boats chase down the rest, and if I've done the math correctly everyone crosses the finish line at the same time. Because the different boat speeds have already been taken into account, the final rank is the order that the boats finish.

IRL this can be quite fun, and the different speeds and polar shapes adds some excitement :-)

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, 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?!
