At the 2100 Schedule in the Apollo Bay Race

Three boat have finished Simply Fun, Hartbreaker  and Spirit of Downunder two boats are on approach to the finish line White Noise and Mille Sabords

Yoko, Turbulence, Addiction and Halcyon still have a way to go. Yoko and Turbulence both gave the same positions so they are both at no 4

The fleet is reduced to 10 in the Apollo Bay Race

The retirement since the last schedule are Magazan53, Wildside, Alien, Allegro, Bandit, Blue Chip, TryBooking.com, the remaining 9 boats are pushing on and the leading bunch of Hartbreaker, Simply Fun and Mille Sabords follow by the Spirit of Downunder and White Noise. Yoko, Halcyon, Addiction and Turbulence.

The leaders have thirteen miles to go and the rear of the fleet have 20 miles to go so hopefully we should have all the fleet in by midnight.

   

The 15:05 schedule has been completed and the boats still have 25  to 40 miles to go.  We hope the wind will hold as the sun sets and we should see the first boat by 8pm. The boats that have retired so far Algy Rose, Blaise Pascal, Cartouche, Christine, Hush, Remedy and Smooth Operator.  

  

What a difference a day makes for the weather for this week’s Apollo Bay race

The PWG and PWC models are now in agreement, so wind from  the South West at the start clocking around to north and hopefully there won’t be too much time with no wind between the different wind directions The other two models have a different out look on the weather. So tacticians keep doing your homework
