索伦特超级系列赛 - 第 2 轮 Gosport

由于预计索伦特超级系列赛第二轮比赛的风力非常小且多变，上周末对于参赛者和选手来说，情况看起来非常棘手。

The second round of the Solent Super Series took place over the weekend in very light and variable wind conditions, making things tricky for competitors and the race committee.

索伦特超级系列赛的第二轮比赛在周末举行，风力条件非常微弱且多变，这给参赛者和比赛委员会带来了棘手的情况。

On Saturday, Island Sailing Club Race Officer Rich Palmer decided to delay racing by two hours to allow tidal conditions to be more favourable for sending the fleet east. At 12:30, the fleet got underway in four to six knots of breeze, starting between the MarkSetBot and West Knoll buoy in the central Solent.

周六，岛屿帆船俱乐部比赛官员 Rich Palmer 决定将比赛推迟两个小时，以便潮汐条件更有利于船队向东航行。 12:30，船队在四到六节的微风中起航，从索伦特中部的 MarkSetBot 和 West Knoll 浮标之间出发。

However, once started, the little wind that got racing underway decided to disappear, leaving the fleet drifting on the tide. No boat reached the first mark after 40 minutes of racing, so the decision was made to abandon.

然而，一旦开始，那股疾驰的小风就消失了，留下船队随波逐流。比赛40分钟后，没有一艘船到达第一个标志，因此决定放弃。

As the fleet motored east, some wind was detected by the race committee, who quickly set up the next start at Browndown. Five knots of wind and favourable tide got the fleet underway with the JPK 1030 Insert Coin and Sun Fast 3300 Kestrel leading the way.

当车队向东行驶时，比赛委员会发现了一些风，他们很快在布朗当安排了下一个起点。 5 节的风速和有利的潮汐让船队在 JPK 1030 Insert Coin 和 Sun Fast 3300 Kestrel 的带领下起航。

There was a big split between both boats, one favouring the mainland shore with an asymmetric and the other on a symmetrical spinnaker. Insert Coin hunted the pulses of breeze further away from the land and came out on top at the leeward mark, going on to take the win by three and a half minutes.

两艘船之间存在很大分歧，一艘喜欢不对称的大陆海岸，另一艘则喜欢对称的三角帆。 Insert Coin 在远离陆地的地方追寻着微风的脉动，并在下风标记处脱颖而出，最终以三分半钟的优势取得了胜利。

It was a great fleet achievement for all boats to finish, with much of the racing in the Solent cancelled.

对于所有船只来说，这是一项伟大的船队成就，索伦特海峡的大部分比赛都被取消了。

Round 2 was supported and hosted by BOATFOLK Haslar Marina. Teams were welcomed aboard the impressive Light Ship [a landmark in Portsmouth Harbour] to enjoy a warm Winter Pimms and watch the final sun set of British Summer Time.

第 2 轮由 BOATFOLK Haslar Marina 支持并主办。欢迎各团队登上令人印象深刻的轻船（朴茨茅斯港的地标），享受温暖的冬季皮姆酒并观看英国夏令时最后的日落。

Teams recounted the day's challenges and stories over dinner at the marina's bar and restaurant 'The Creek', reviewing the days race data from the GeoRacing tracking and looking ahead to what Sunday had in store.

团队在码头的酒吧和餐厅“The Creek”共进晚餐时讲述了当天的挑战和故事，回顾了来自 GeoRacing 跟踪的当天比赛数据，并展望了周日的比赛。

With an extra hour in bed/bunk (a benefit of autumn racing), the conditions were surveyed over a bacon sandwich and coffee, and once again it looked light.

在床上/铺位上多呆了一个小时（秋季比赛的好处），一边吃着培根三明治和咖啡一边检查了情况，情况再次看起来很轻松。

However, with five to six knots of wind, the start line was set and 'the race was live', this time between the MarkSetBot and Gleeds, near Spitbank Fort.

然而，风速为 5 到 6 节，起跑线已经确定，“比赛开始了”，这次是在 MarkSetBot 和位于 Spitbank 堡附近的 Gleeds 之间。

Race 2 of the Round got underway at 09:30 with tide underneath the fleet, and two boats getting caught out and being called OCS, returning to clear themselves slowly against the West going tide.

本轮第二场比赛于 09:30 开始，潮水淹没了船队，两艘船被困住并被称为 OCS，在西退的潮汐中缓慢返回以清理自己。

By the second Mark of the course Kemps Quay, just to the North of Ryde Pier, the wind (as per the forecast) started to become very patchy with the fleet stretched out.

到了莱德码头以北的坎普斯码头的第二个标志时，风（根据预报）开始变得非常不稳定，船队伸展开来。

After 2 hours of racing and the impending change in the tide making life very slow (Boats making 1 knot over the ground), the decision was made to shorten the course at Peel Bank and send competitors home for early showers.

经过 2 小时的比赛后，即将到来的潮汐变化使生活变得非常缓慢（船只在地面上的速度为 1 节），因此决定缩短皮尔滩的航程并让参赛者提前回家洗澡。

Kestrel took the win by 18 seconds over Insert Coin, with the Dehler 30 One Design Black Betty in third place.

Kestrel 比 Insert Coin 领先 18 秒，Dehler 30 One Design Black Betty 获得第三名。

With 2 races completed for Round 2, the Sun Fast 3300 Kestrel takes the Round win on countback with a 2, 1 - the JPK 1030 Insert Coin in second with a 1, 2 and completing the podium, the double handed Sun Fast 3300 team of Atomic with a 3, 4 scorecard.

第 2 轮比赛已完成 2 场比赛，Sun Fast 3300 Kestrel 在倒数计时中以 2, 1 赢得本轮胜利 - JPK 1030 插入硬币位居第二，并以 1, 2 完成登上领奖台，双手 Sun Fast 3300 车队Atomic 带有 3、4 记分卡。

Next up is Round 3 on the 9th/10th November which will take the fleet to the Western Solent with race organisers and competitors hoping for some good conditions to get the 3 races in and a night out in Yarmouth.

接下来是 11 月 9 日至 10 日的第 3 轮比赛，车队将前往西索伦特岛，比赛组织者和参赛者希望有一些良好的条件来参加 3 场比赛并在雅茅斯过夜。
