RB08 results

Thought I'd start a new thread here to keep the results separate from the rest of the discussion.

The current "Overall Race Positions" published on the RB web site have several discrepancies with the results published for each leg.

Some of this is obviously down to penalties being dished out and subsequently taken back (or not). Some of it is just weird. There's precious little information on the RB web site, and from the statement on the home page this almost seems to be something that they are proud of . . .

From The Organisers of the Round Britain Powerboat Race.

We wish to make everyone aware that this Great Race is being run as a Corinthian Event primarily financed with the racers own money. It has therefore not been possible to have secretarial staff or any other expensive facilities supporting the event. We only have personnel who are giving their time free of charge to help the event and the racers. Therefore please understand that as the race and everyone associated with the race are moving everyday and due to the unusual format of the race, communications and information is very difficult. We make no apologies for this, our primary concern is for the racers and their race, everything else has to take second place.


It's not really helping the cause of powerboating as a spectator sport if they just give the finger to everyone who is following and supporting the race. I know that things aren't ideal for the organising team, but how hard could it possibly be to publish proper results (or just email them to someone to pass on) including details of the penalties?

Anyway, enough of my constructive criticism and back to the detective work. These are the differences:

Portsmouth to Plymouth
43 Swipewipes.co.uk (+30 minutes)
88 Tequila (-16)
110 Seafarer (+30)
185 GEE (+30)
343 Carbon Neutral (-20)

So presumably 43, 110 and 185 received 30 minute penalties after the original results were published. No idea why 88 and 343 had time taken off though - typo? timing problem?

Milford Haven to Bangor
2 Hot Lemon (-60 minutes)
4 Hardleys (-1)
16 Team Scorpion Dubois (-60)
33 Gutta Boyz (-10)
81 Wettpunkt.com (-50)
110 Seafarer (-60)
111 Venturer (-39)
185 GEE (-90)

My guess here is that 2, 16, 110 and 185 all had 60 minute penalties applied before the results were published, but all appealed successfully (with 185 also getting the 30 minutes back from leg 1). Again, no idea what happened with 4, 33, 81, 111

Bangor to Oban
Looks like nothing has changed. Yet!

Any news? Are the currently published "Overall Race Positions" 100% correct?

I think your results analysis is great - very useful/helpful.

P.S. Spoke to Angela (she's downstairs doing wedding stuff with Vicki) and Swipes have had their penalty upheld.

Can someone translate that into english?

Penalty upheld means penalty is applied. Or ar you saying their appeal was successful?

I am aware of what penalty upheld means, that's why I wrote it.
You seem to understand it too.
What's the confusion?

It also appears as though Mike, Dave and Graham had a successful appeal as Hot Lemon is now in 4th overall.
This was posted several hours ago. You appear to have posted 'new' information, which makes me thing it is the opposite of this previous 'old' information....

Guys - from what I can see here (Inverness) is that the powers that be are doing their best with protests / results.

This race is hugely complicated for everyone, I suspect '69 and '84 were the same, the only difference was no instant communications, Dolphins, Sharks etc.

The safety, scruts and race control people are working 18 hours a day - give them a bit of slack.

Next post Edinburgh! Hope to get the finishing boats out to you asap!

RB08 results

Good analysis - but one additional discrepancy may have been missed:
Portsmouth to Plymouth:
No. 8 (MC2) - originally posted as : 4hr 7mins 4secs
Now increased to: 4hr 7mins 41 secs
Original overall time: 11hrs 15mins 29secs
Revised overall time: 11hrs 16mins 06secs
A difference of +37secs.

Presumably not a penalty - maybe timing, typing or admin error.
More info may come to light over the next few days.

Nobody's criticised the race control, scrutineers or safety.

Actually there were a couple of others with very small discrepancies, but I didn't want to be too picky!
