Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta Race 2 and US Feeder Race, Report 20: Time Limit Brought Forward

The Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta continues its two races  with some tight competition and winning places still unknown.

“In the US Feeder Race from Charleston, Pride of Baltimore II leads on the water and continues to make fast progress towards Bermuda with When and If not far behind. Oosterschelde has overhauled Spirit of South Carolina and is just one mile apart and she has moved up into second place on corrected time due to her low Time Correction Factor.

“Whilst the Charleston fleet are enjoying some really fast racing, the Race Committee have decided to bring the time limit forward to 14:00 UTC tomorrow for the Las Palmas fleet due to the light and variable winds they have been experiencing. At this time the race results will be calculated using the Finish at Sea formula with the Racing and Sailing Instructions. Will the final results change?”

Paul Bishop, Race Director, Sail Training International
