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

22.3 A boat moving astern, or sideways to windward, through the water by backing a sail shall keep clear of one that is not.

Safety tip of the day

If you find water in your boat and you are not sure where it came from, taste it. If it is fresh it is from your water tanks. If it is salty it is from a leak in the hull or water ballast tanks.
