Snow Lion has finished at midnight, standing 4th in class. Here is a link to an article updating the salvage of Rambler 100. A great many boats are still on the race course slowed by light winds and strong currents.
SNOW LION FINISHES
Day: August 17, 2011
RAN AGAIN?
It looks like the boats that have not finished have light air ( it looks like 10 knots from the north, i.e. off the shore) and are subject to the tide that makes the Fastnet Race so challenging. “Ran” may well be winning on corrected time for a second time in a row, again helped by the light air on the course. “Snow Lion” is still fifty miles from the finish but steering a course straight to the finish. Once again the bigger boats benefitted from the weather pattern; but that’s ocean racing.
