Volvo Ocean Race

[fireball]

For all you moboers out there ....(and wannabe raggies!!)

Come along and have a look at the VOR forum

The YBW crew are forming a group in the Sailonline.org race which starts 11/10 at 11:00 UTC (that is midday on Saturday to the rest of us!)

Currently it requires a client download, however I understand there is a webbased client in the offing ...

We are running a YBW league - so come and pit yourself against:
Myself,
Morgana
Dipper
Brendan
Dyflin
HYC_Trev
Abestea
chabrenas

When you sign up if you prefix your login name with YBW we can identify you more easily .... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Did he mean GMT?

No, it's in UTC, which is the worldwide recognised time keeping standard.

GMT, UTC, UT1 and UT are broadly similar, but have different scientific meanings, so GMT is rarely used now.

 

[Dipper]

Come on you lot. Brendan's totally outnumbered by all us raggies (although he is putting up a good fight). Practice now and the race starts on Saturday.

 

[fireball]

Nah, come on Dipper, you're wasting your time ..... they can't navigate anyway .....

It's ok - don't worry - they'll never catch me .... with 6000Nm first leg they'll run out of fuel before they've left the med!!

Not bothering with vor this this time round, they have trashed it as an event for the uk public. Sad /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Good fight? Now I'm getting the hang of it, I'm going to win, if I can resist the temptation to lose 5 places to broadside volley and board Fireball again! I blame it on reading too many Patrick O'Brian books about Captain Jack Aubrey
