VR Sydney to Hobart

[Tunnel Rat]

Hello,

Here are rankings from approx 09:00UTC.  Shockwave, Jesus and BillE seem to have pissed off the man with the tape measure.  So I'm putting in distance to leader and O/A placings.  Maybe some of it will make sense.....

Thanks to TR for again keeping the rankings for us.

Anyone else had issues with programming using the website?

The one i put in for jibe south occurred 1 hour later than programmed time!  e.g. set for 13:00, actually happened at wall clock time of 14:00! 

Lost a little time to what had been the chasing pack, tho' have been sailing faster angles to try catch up.

Daylight saving ??

 

[TPG]

I forgot about the start. Totally buggered it all up and just kinda going wherever. 

 

[stufishing]

Yes. Its amazing how much one little mistake can cost you. Sometimes its a good thing especially if its not your fault. Once you get over your anger at VR, you can tune out for the rest of the race!

 

[lahana]

Overslept by 3 hours this morning, game plan out the window, dropped a few thousand places.

Still, I'll always have my screenshot of fame!  LoL

 

[stufishing]

Well done Lahana, its nice to see your name on top isn't it!

 

[Tunnel Rat]

Rankings are rather late today, due to the inconvenience of work....

As before the DTL is rather screwed up so I am including the OA placings and sorting on that.

Talking to the missus after dinner and not noticing that I should have changed to the Code 0 cost me some miles, ho hum - worth it!

Quick update on the rankings from approx 09:00UTC.

The same caveats on inconsistencies between DTL and OA placings apply.

[Magool]

Thanks Tunnel

 

[lahana]

Thanks for your efforts TR!

 

[mad]

301 at one stage, now 16400!  

Normal standard of racing for me then.  :lol:

12 hour time difference and Christmas drinking don’t help either. 

 

[stufishing]

Thanks Tunnel Rat

 

[yachtie2k4]

Thanks tunnel rat

 

[Gybe Turkey]

Yes, thanks again Tunnel now wake up and turn your boat

 

[Tunnel Rat]

Err, thanks for the advice, I've just got back from avoiding my son's 18th birthday party, and now I'm hiding upstairs trying not to be a killjoy.......

But even more annoying than the crap music is that I can't get into the VR site!

 

[mad]

Next stop, Antarctica. 

 

[33jesus]

Has anyone witnessed that inconsistency before? I’m clearly not 496 miles behind the leader. Hell... the pack is less than 30 mins in front of me. Also, I can’t seem to find anyplace that says I’m that far behind. Where are you getting that info from? Thanks again, TR!

A little upthread TR and i mentioned noticing the same for shockwave11. Clearly the distance is wrong for several sailors.

VR has a strange way to calculate distance/ranking (shortest distance to rhumbline and then following the rhumbline AFAIK) but this is not the problem here. It only makes overview in race like RdR with N and S options harder.
