MacDonnell Sound Race 2025

Posted on January 19, 2025January 19, 2025 by Robert Dunn

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.

Racing rules of sailing

30.1 I Flag Rule. If flag I has been displayed, and any part of a boat’s hull, crew or equipment is on the course side of the starting line or one of its extensions during the last minute before her starting signal, she shall sail across an extension to the pre-start side before starting.

Safety tip of the day

When lifting someone into a liferaft who is wearing a life jacket, 'bounce' them into the water twice to generate lift to help pull them aboard.
