Chris`I Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Who said sailing was easy Its only because I didnt check it over the weekend I need a turbo baby! What happens if I create a second boat, where would that start? Do they dump you in the middle of the field to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuck Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Just joined. My boats name is "The Flying Zed" bit corney but its all I could think of this early in the morning! Currently in 67566th place but that is going to drop rapidly. My only boat experience is sitting in a dinghy in a swimming pool when I was younger on holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 66665th was making a good 14 knots headway, but wind has changed un favourably, and i wasn't able to make the tack angle i wanted, damn weather predictions. well i'm hopefully gaining on lexx anyway.

DJsickboy Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I wonder how long they will continue this leg for? I mean they cant wait for everyone surely? I reckon I will get to the destination sometime after next weekend at this rate!! Lexx has stopped for a bit of fishing I reckon.

How does the ranking work?! although your racing against other boats, think of it more like a rally, with different stages and your racing against the clock, your score will be affected by the distance from the finish, and how far off the race line you are. and the speed at which you complete the stage.
