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

30.2 Z Flag Rule. If flag Z has been displayed, no part of a boat’s hull, crew or equipment shall be in the triangle formed by the ends of the starting line and the first mark during the last minute before her starting signal. If a boat breaks this rule and is identified, she shall receive, without a hearing, a 20% Scoring Penalty calculated as stated in rule 44.3(c). She shall be penalised even if the race is restarted or resailed, but not if it is postponed or abandoned before the starting signal. If she is similarly identified during a subsequent attempt to start the same race, she shall receive an additional 20% Scoring Penalty.

Safety tip of the day

When waiting in the water to board a life raft, you can help the person boarding by helping their foot onto the boarding ladder steps.
