In my thinking, the most significant aspect of this circumstance is the nature of the routing algorithm.

The wx is pretty simple, a fast downwind stretch along the coast, a lighter reaching bit across Bass Strait, and another fast downwind bit alongside Tasmania. Bass Strait is certainly the least predictable, and likely decisive.

It is a bit too coastal for my tastes, so I only made my go decision very late. &#160; The first part has the wind turning into our face which pushes the route into the coast. &#8230; <a href="http://solfans.org/blog/races/racereports/her-name-is-rio/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Her name is Rio</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
