What names are everyone here using in the race?

[BrendanS]

I forgot to enter ybw in front of mine, so I'm simply

BrendanS

 

[yindoor2]

Hi Brendan

I'm Warragamba lass

 

[yindoor2]

what is your place at the moment ?

 

[BrendanS]

176, which is better than the 252 it was 5 minutes ago! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[yindoor2]

i tried to do a search for u and you cannot be found. ?

 

[BrendanS]

How do you do a search? I've not found anyway of finding other boats, other than looking a leaderboard, or putting the cursor on boats on chart?

 

[yindoor2]

use the little magnifying glass on the bottom left of the screen.

 

[BrendanS]

ah, you're on volvooceanrace. I have entered that, but only to see how it works

The rest of use are mainly using sailonline.

 

[TigaWave]

The new software which should be ready very soon will allow you to type in the first few letters and get a list with positions, hence ybw should give you the list of all ybw boats.

It's due to be ready next week, but you know all about software....version 3 will work perfectly!

[jbridges]

i'm there as jbridges, didn't see this thread till after I started

Now in pos 466 as I started a couple of hours after the start of the race, so some catching up to do. already made 10 places or so

 

[Whitelighter]

YBW_Whitelighter_IV - bit late to the party being almost a day and a half behind, but this is a marathon after all.

So, when do I get to use my 600Hp diesels to catch up?

 

[Bejasus]

hah, so you are my next target. You are currently 45.1 nm ahead to my west and about the same heading at the moment. Looks like you will be gybing soon for your run through the gate.

 

[BrendanS]

How well do Volvo 70 hulls plane?

 

[Whitelighter]

Best light the afterburners then.

Going to gybe in about 90 minutes to get the best speed through the gate. Hoping to make a few places up and try to get some miles back on Davenhelen who is my next target.

 

[Bejasus]

can see you about to make your move. Be another 2 hours at least before I gybe.

 

[Whitelighter]

Yeah, working on VMG just watching the wind to minimise the amount of time I will be running downwind
