Commentary

Another voyage, another monsoon to beat into, another blue bubble to second guess, and another fetch home - there is something very eternal about the weather on the seas of the Indian Ocean!

So eternal, that Kipper1258 took the gun again, but for a while it looked like BRENTGRAY had reckoned it right, and how he did that, you can read in his report under the dhow-silhouetted button above. And HappyHour came third to make it a very jolly podium indeed. Sindbad's next and last voyage for 2023 is coming up soon. Where else shall he wander? Don't miss it!

Sinbad explores the Erythraean 2023 - RESULTS

Commentary

There can be little doubt about it now, that Sinbad and his Sultan always conspire to create more than challenging voyages of exploration, and this one across the Erythraean Sea proved to be no exception. A long, long beat into the strong and steady summer monsoon was followed by an equally long, long leg west to east through unpredictable doldrums and finally a fetch north to Surat of only three days or so duration, the shortest leg of the course.

Places changed from leg to leg, but in Surat, it was Kipper1258 who crossed the line first, having defended the lead he had established at Minicoy all the way home. Ripper, Kipper!

Reports

Commentary

This was the third time we raced over the top of North America from Maryland to Alaska, and as on both previous occasions much fun was had by all, guessing, no figuring, what was the best route, first up the East Coast, then through 'a' North West Passage, and finally down the Beaufort Sea. Icewise, it actually happened to be the right time of year for it, and of course the climate has 'improved' for this particular passage. Indeed, Franklin might have even made it through, although his route through the Hudson Strait, the Gulf of Boothia and into his eponymous Franklin Strait would definitely not have won the race.

What did win the race? You may well ask. Well, best to read bonknhoot's excellent (even though I say so myself: ed) report under the button above, where you will learn how RICOTINA did it, and SCARABOCCHIO came third, to create a rijp-belegen ciabatta sandwich. What a race!

CONGRATULATIONS Kipper1258 !!!

Commentary

And to bring y'all right up to date, here are the results of the TIMED racing in the Foveaux Strait off the southern tip of New Zealand's South Island, which generated a complete different podium once again.

This time Thursday the 14th of September was the day the wind blew right and the first 22 boats all had a start on that day, mostly after 12:00 UTC, which was a bleary-eyed 01:00 in the morning local time down there. This time it was Kipper1258 who found the perfect time starting at 12:14:06 UTC and putting slightly more than a minute on his nearest challengers, sassy63 and rafa, who started about a half hour later and a half hour earlier respectively. TIMING is everything!

Fisherman's Friend 2023

A 272nm race in First 40s around the main fishing ports and grounds off Devon and Cornwall.

Stockholm to St. Petersburg - 2023
Welcome to Stockholm - are you ready to race this course of about 431nm across the Baltic and into the Gulf of Finland, from one great historic city Stockholm to another St. Petersburg? The Gulf of Finland is still ice-free so board your Club Swan 50’s and prepare. Take care and keep a weather eye. The odd stray submarine may need to be avoided but if you keep a good lookout you should soon be docking at the home of the world-renowned Hermitage Museum!
