A packed lunch, plenty of water, flares, a compass in case of fog (mobile phone in waterproof bag and nav app to you snowflakes) oh and keep the tide on your lee bow as much as possible..(If it''s not on your stern)

Just for fun. So we can decide tides, wind forecast and starting time.
I was wondering if there was an accepted quicker way round. Or a accepted time to set off with the tide. |

Google the 'Round the island race' bound to be details, almost certain they go anticlockwise.

Mozzy - having done the trip from Hisc (albeit in a quick keelboat the single biggest factor is the breeze - a southerly is perfect, though you tend to get quite a wind bend in the western solent making that more of a skewed beat.... but if you get the tides right, the ebb will spit you out at the Needles - at which point you can close reach to St Cats... and then it's more or less downhill all the way home (you don't want to be doing the final leg, from Bembridge Ledge to HISC as a beat at the end of the day, that's a ball breaker and a half). It depends on the dinghy and how quickly you think you can make it to the Needles - you want the ebb there and then the changing tide to carry you eastbound around the back of the Island ( not many easy places to pull over on the leg to St Cats... it gets easier after that). In the end, it is all about the timing - and preparation.....

Might be useful to give the Osprey fleet a shout, a handful of them did it a couple of years ago.

In the 800.
In about 10-15 knots we do 7-10 knots at VMG upwind angle... hopefully we won't have to many square beats. 70-100 TWA can be a bit tricky. Should be able to do windspeed but it's a lot of steering. 100-120 and it will be a dog leg with kite/no kite. Again, all at wind speed. Then from 120 below you're kite up, with little control on gybe angle, but doing windspeed. I reckon in 10-15 knots we should average 10 knots boat speed through the water. |
