Good morning and two observations.

Exception made to the Nordic races sailing around the fiords rocks, or if the race duration is under 4 hrs – 6 hrs, every race is susceptible of being routable. It’s only a matter of extra work.

You forgot to mention the big change the 22:30 hrs UTC WF brought to the race, favouring by a big margin (better angle) the boats sailing further SE at the time, namely javakeda and co.

If the initial conditions (16:30 hrs UTC WF) hadn’t suffer such change, namely with a decrease in WP on the West, other story had been written, for sure.

Well, uncertainty and luck is part of the game.

Again, congratulations on this Podium!
