Peter X Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Finishing last is easy. It took real skill for Rob and I to meet our target of being mid-table, 16th out of 32. We would've been in the bottom half at 17th if Carpe Vinum hadn't sunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty40s Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 7 hours ago, Captain Pegg said: Results are published. Indigo Dream was the winner and Clarrie wasn't last. I think Northstar must have been docked some points as their score for the route they did with the crew should have been a lot more than it was. Maybe because they ran out of fuel and had to be towed. JP ...or they were speeding when they still had some fuel left.... 16 minutes ago, nicknorman said: Does anybody know what happened to Carpe Vinum? Was it successfully recovered?

What was the hull damage? Hi all firstly let me say congrats to indigo and thank you for the donation, we are currently at just over £400 for the BCN Society and it’s great to see the scores I reckon if I hadn’t of sank and finished my route I would of had it this year by about 10 points? however a lot has happened since then. Carpe Vinum is currently sat at a hard standing in notts deemed a write off not so much down to the damage although it was a good sized hole but more down to the things I had added such as smev cooker,warm air heater , invertor , new outboard etc. So end of an era. I owned her for 6 years and put a lot of effort in to kit her out as I wanted somit is sad ? However I have just purchased a 25ft tidy looking Springer full survey last year and all is good, it is outboard rather than inboard but I now along with my girlfriend own a steel boat called Mary Beth she will hopefully be transported from Hilperton on k&a to Alvechurch next week and we will Be getting used to her in anticipation for next year ,yes we will be back and you will I promise all get to sample the floating bar at the end. thank you all so much for the messages and support you gave me over he weekend and congratulations to all and how well they did. I feel i made more friends this year than ever before and all Things considered am happy with how we did,mainly we were all safe. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would have meant disqualification. Although they did leave us way behind below Factory locks. What I do know is they didn't have their cruising log because they took photos of mine at the start. So they may not have supplied all the information necessary to get all the weighting factors or even all the route scored. Their basic route should have scored 327 points with a two person crew. They ran out of fuel because the helmsman - who was not the captain - had the engine at full throttle against lock gates while waiting for locks to be prepared and whilst in the chamber. All we could hear was engine noise interspersed with thumps of boat against gate. JP Edited June 7, 2018 by Captain Pegg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an awful lot of points, significantly above our points for our planned route (excluding clues). With their hold up at Walsall, I doubt they achieved their target Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
