2011-07-06 16:41:33 - Tall Ships Races - excluded from SYC ranking
By popular demand, due to the impact on SYC ranking of the choice of boat without official handicapping, the SYC ranking of all the Tall Ships Races has been withdrawn.

You are all, therefore, at liberty to pick and choose among the tall ships - why not race a different one each race.

Unofficial handicapping results will be forthcoming (or you can calculate them yourself) using the data provided by 76T!!

:-)

If the choice of boats had been restricted to four and you had to choose a different boat for each event, wouldn't the scoring for SYC ranking have been viable?

ybwcobblerslast - yeps... no question about it.

The "buddy-up" with Sail Training International came about fairly last minute and went from a germ of an idea to the races in just a few weeks. Normally a SOL buddy-up has a good lead-in and we have time to think round the issue - this time the focus was on getting all the boats ready and your lateral-thinking approach just didn't occur I think!

Next year, things will be done better!!

RC... this was an OUTSTANDING effort and one that will, no doubt, increase SOL visibility and hopefully increase participation.

I like Cobblers suggestion as well. Then just take the TOTAL elapsed time for all legs as the rank at the end. That way, perhaps there would be some different names to enjoy line-honors accolades and the rankings would still reflect the pro-performances.

Again, WD!!!!

SHamPir - that is how the Series ranking would work ... so deffo an idea for next year (if SOL doesn't have official handicapping in place).

Thanks :-)

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
