Round the Island start line

[davel]

Decided to go and take a look at the start line for this years race at the weekend.

It looks to me that the line is set much further east than last year. I seem to remember it being slightly west of true north on previous years. At the weekend it was lining up about 11 degrees east of true north - in fact it seems to run straight over brambles bank.

Has any other saddo taken a look? and can they confirm/deny my observation?

How did you check the line?

The rear marker for the transit (the diamond on the castle) moves - if you checked that this weekend it was probably set up for the start of a different race - hence a different line.

I think from memory that the start this year is the same as last.

That'll be the reason then. I took a couple of transits on the line on Sunday by marking them on my GPS.

Thanks for the info.

Don't worry, In an RTI no one notices if you're over by a smidge.

True,

My plan this year is to start with the class half an hour before mine, I'm sure no one will notice
