4K Video from the first part of the MacDonnell Sound Race January 18th 2025
Beautiful conditions – although light for most of the race it was reasonably consistent and not shifty.
Lots of shots of other boats – especially at the start.

9 minutes the CYCSA/RSAYS Twilight Race in very up and down conditions.
Lots of shots of other boats at the start and very end.
Plenty of gratuitous speed from about 3 min onwards.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

Racing rules of sailing

19.2 Giving Room at an Obstruction. (a) A right-of-way boat may choose to pass an obstruction on either side. (b) When boats are overlapped, the outside boat shall give the inside boat room between her and the obstruction, unless she has been unable to do so from the time the overlap began. (c) While boats are passing a continuing obstruction, if a boat that was clear astern and required to keep clear becomes overlapped between the other boat and the obstruction and, at the moment the overlap begins, there is not room for her to pass between them, she is not entitled to room under rule 19.2(b). While the boats remain overlapped, she shall keep clear and rules 10 and 11 do not apply.

Safety tip of the day

The third person into the life raft should move to the back of the raft to help balance it whilst the first 2 help others board.
