Romany 156 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 anybody know why the disparity in corrected elapsed times? I assume they are similar sizes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 96 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Looks like the yb tracker has set them all up with a handicap of 1, and the corrected elapsed is actually showing the estimated elapsed time rather than a real corrected time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 185 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Malcolm Dickson’s third attempt at the Solo Trans Tasman Yacht Challenge has proven to be his best after taking line honours. There was a tight tussle for second, as Jim O’Keefe aboard Hullabaloo finished just 54 minutes ahead of Mike Carter on Allegresse. The International Rating Certificate handicap first place was won by Mark Hipgrave aboard Mister Lucky who finished in 10 days, 23 hours and 24 minutes. As a teenager, Dickson designed and built his first keel boat, Spindrift, in which he competed in the 1978 Ray White New Plymouth Solo Trans-Tasman race. He set up a boatyard in Nelson until 2000 when he sold the business to pursue his goal of sailing around the world. https://www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-daily-news/news/131822568/third-attempt-ends-with-line-honours-for-former-nelson-sailor-in-solo-transtasman-challenge The first two days after leaving the New Plymouth Yacht Club on April 9 saw the Tasman Sea at its moody worst, with winds gusting up to 50 knots and rough seas forcing three competitors to withdraw. Malcolm Dickson said they were amongst the worst conditions he had experienced, but he never felt in danger aboard the 16.7-metre sloop Sarau that he built himself. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/131844803/taking-on-tasman-sea-singlehandedly-and-winning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spindrift is currently owned by John Gander, is kept in a very good condition as befits a master shipwright and is currently in Waikawa Bay for sale 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
