Remote Control Volvo Ocean Racing

Real or not?

With the repairs on the Real Boats finished for almost all Boats, it is time for some other (sailing related) activities!


What about a sailing race with 1 m. long models of the VOR boats ? Great fun to sail these models with remote control. 


Sanya was the BIG winner of the RC In-Port race. And lets hope that Sanya Lan also will be able to win the Sanya Hiatang Bay In-Port Race on 18th February. 
Starting time will be: 06:00 UTC so a little early for some Europeans maybe, (14:00 local time)

9 Pack Serie LiveSkipper Sailing Race

Yesterday I also Finished my boat sailing into Sanya on LiveSkipper's 9 Pack Serie Stage 3. I was 6th in a fleet of 20 boats, so not too bad.

The progress can be seen in the Progress Map above in the TAB, or on this special map. 


More important is that this is the 1st Stage that I was able to sail with the faster boats. So it seems my exercises during Stages 1 and 2 have giving me some experience that helped me climb the ladder. Lets see to continue this upward trend.
