Oops! meant to say VesselFinder. Seems quicker to update and you can see which boat is which more easily.The official tracker is useless for us. LiveShips is our best option at the moment. Gitana just tacked to go between Guernsey and Alderney!
^^^^^This. Even more scary for the little boats.I think this is just badly phrased. The safety of the small boats with a 125ft boat short tacking through the fleet at the Hurst Narrows is a pretty valid argument for sending the big boats first.
Having skippered a biggish boat when we started last, it was bloody terrifying trying to avoid everyone short tacking out of the narrowest point of the race course.
They seem to have put afterburners on- he hasn't dropped much below 18knots for the last hour. 1-2knots faster than Charal. Amazing!....and what have they done to Apivia? 18 and a half knots upwind in 24 kts breeze!
Indeed, and I have disabled everything but I still don't see anything from the "live blog".Not only is tracker pretty useless, thank's to Privacy Badger, Ublock-Origin et al. it's clear who's being tracked. It's not the yachts.
Where do you see that ?And now 23 retired, 6.9%. This is silly.

For me the site is totally unusable (functionally I mean, but not much time to spend on it)
Thanks ! I guess that's the only page I will look at ...
Why ?This is silly.
