Title: Did the seal "Dog" appear? Post by: tiger on June 04, 2005, 06:08:37 PM Looks like the seal "Dog" appeared today again? Anybody see it pop up its head in the semi? Or was that a team throwing a race to get in a lower division, as Guido has indicated does happen.

Title: =) Post by: kelfon on June 04, 2005, 08:12:34 PM Looks like Team Ruckus made it to the "A" finals.
Title: Alcan Regatta - Unofficial Results, Thoughts and Photos Post by: Lethal Weapon on June 04, 2005, 09:59:52 PM Interesting overall I notice the Gemini times were faster than the 6-16 times. I guess teams are figuring out how to paddle them. There was some excellent heats today (and weather, my sunburnt face....) FCRCC mixed is the team to beat right now with PR and Subara (not yet showing their stuff ...(no dog today :oops: ...) and ROLI getting batter every race. Too bad about Ruckus and Success having that mishap (collision) as that would have made for a kick ass final. The Swordfish made it again to the Final! :shock: I guess twice lucky..... Alcan is next..Let the games begin!
Title: Alcan Regatta - Unofficial Results, Thoughts and Photos Post by: Optimal on June 05, 2005, 01:20:52 AM Quote Saturday AM A Final 1. 2:04.330 FCRCC Mixed 2. 2:05.600 Pacific Reach 3. 2:13.340 ROLI Canada I 4. 2:15.880 Swordfish 5. 2:59.040 Team SUCCESS 6. 3:09.220 Team Ruckus I heard there was a collision between Success and Ruckus, that explains their times. Why was there such a big time difference between 1st and 4th? 11 seconds? Title: Alcan Regatta - Unofficial Results, Thoughts and Photos Post by: Steamrollers Moaner on June 05, 2005, 02:01:53 AM Yes they did... but not by much. They beat out FODB by 0.10 of a second in the semi's to make it into the A final.
Nevertheless, a job well done!! Congrats! Title: collision... Post by: kelfon on June 05, 2005, 02:24:00 AM Yeah the collision licked salty herrings. Could have been worse, good thing no one was hurt.
Title: Alcan Regatta - Unofficial Results, Thoughts and Photos Post by: Angus on June 05, 2005, 10:24:34 AM In the morning's A final, right after the race started, a False Creek Ferry decided to cut across the race course near the 350 meter mark. When the onlookers at the finish line realized that the ferry was not going to stop for the race and that it was in a collision course, there was a lot of screaming from the shore, but the officials didn't say ANYTHING on the radio. How do I know this? I was standing right next to the finish line tent and could hear everything on the radio.
So what DID happen was that the officials boats were telling the boats to steer left to avoid the ferry - especially lanes 5 and 6. Lane five (success) followed those orders, but lane 6 (ruckus) did not. This resulted in a dangerous collision and what really shocked me was that they allowed the race to continue. Surely in the A final, having a False Creek Ferry interfere with the race would be reasonable grounds to call for a restart! They should have either stationed a boat near the 350 meter mark to control ferry traffic or ordered all boats to hold and restart. As for the laughable organization of the regatta... let me say this: Partway though the second round of the morning session, racing was suspended while the finish line people were scrambling to find a tape for their video camera. This led to an attempt to find someone to blame for the lack of tapes, followed eventually by the rewinding of existing tapes. But don't worry, they'll get 8 new tapes for the real race in 2 weeks. Just before the B finals race in the morning, the finish line drama started up agian. This time, the finish line people didn't know how to operate the camera. After much tinkering and fiddling, they called out on the radio - "Is there anyone out there who knows how to operate the video camera?" A woman does show up after a while, along with two black doggies and eventually, order is restored. But not before memorable lines like... "All the buttons are worn off on this thing!" "I know this camera works, I use it all the time!" I believe that the delays caused by the organizer's own inexperience leads to a tighter schedule. This increases the pressure to get the races over with as quickly as possible, and if necessary, look the other way when fairness of the race comes into question. Oh so much fun... Title: Alcan Regatta - Unofficial Results, Thoughts and Photos Post by: ~@ngel~ on June 05, 2005, 10:31:22 AM At one point I was standing near the finish line tent and I heard the officials say that the computer crashed and they were waiting for it to reboot. Some BAD luck at False Creek yesterday.

Kudos to them for doing the dirty deed. Trust me in saying don't look at the bottom of those puppies before having lunch..And speaking of dirty old boats that should be broken up into paddles...Any one else have the mispleasure of paddling the Barney boat (purple 6-16). Time to retire that baby.... Title: Re: What the RUCK!!! Post by: Angus on June 05, 2005, 04:39:57 PM Quote from: kelfon YO ANGUS...Please tell me that your intentions are not to blame Ruckus. If anything there were no clear instructions told or heard during the race. If any racers were there, you guys would agree the volume on those thingamagigy those officals use to communicate were on low. So unless you were racing in the success boat or officiating boat or on the ferry or floating in the water or walking on the water, how would you know? :evil: btw...All I need to know is that your intentions are not to make this personal, if you are blaming please provide some PROOF and not some statement that is your opinion. Everyone is entitled to their opinion...but if it is personal I am ready to Ruck. I spoke to several people on the Success boat to get that info. As I said before, I was at the finish line when the collision occurred. It is of my opinion that the collision between Success and Ruckus was caused by A) The false creek ferry that entered into the race course on what appeared to be a collision course. B) The lack of action on the part of the race officials to stop the race in this dangerous situation and the lack of a safety boat which could have prevented the ferry from entering the race course in the first place. C) The decision of the race official who decided to order boats to go left. D) The fact Success went left and Ruckus did not. Take what you want from it. Feel free to misinterpret anything you want, I don't give a Ruck. :lol: Title: Re: What the RUCK!!!

Whoa chill out buddy, from what I interpret, Angus is merely making a statement of what happened, he isn't blaming anyone for the hoopla! The responsibility technically falls on the shoulders of the steersperson to pay attention to the on water officals for any on the fly instructions. That being said, during a race I know the steers would be just focused on keeping the boat straight and nothing else. Sometimes they are so in the zone per se it is difficult to hear, with everything else that is going on. Things happens sometimes, just be glad that it was just a regatta, and nobody got hurt.. You live and learn. Just let it go, and focus on Alcan! Title: Oh I think some are upset Post by: tiger on June 05, 2005, 06:39:40 PM Actually I believe some in this thread are upset so they need to chill out. I won't name names but it ryhmes with Kangus. They need to chill. They have little knowledge of what goes on. Enough wasted on responding to dribble.
As for the event, yep Saturday morning was interesting, both for racing and also for organizing. That is always the case in this regatta. This regatta serves many purposes, especially for the teams I know: 1. Get some racing against like teams (we hope). 2. The festival gets to try out new procedures and volunteers before the big event. 3. Build some excitement for the festival So I think overall it was just that. I was there in the afternoon and it ran better. I was there on Sunday but just long enough to stay dry and it was ahead of schedule except for the fun steering on the water. Anyways it was a good regatta and now on to the big show Title: Alcan Regatta - Unofficial Results, Thoughts and Photos Post by: Angus on June 05, 2005, 07:00:18 PM Oops, Tiger is right. I forgot to mention that things did run a lot more smoothly in the afternoon. I really shouldn't focus only on the negatives.

Title: My thoughts on what I saw Post by: tiger on June 06, 2005, 08:14:10 AM Saturday AM
a. Some good racing, I would say the PR has improved this year, less DB work more OC work seem to be paying off (maybe FCRCC was not wrong about getting out in other boats, hmmmm). b. Comp division will be tough to get into. Teams have stepped up their paddling so it will be interesting to see who gets into what division. Whoever ranks will have an interesting time to try and get it right (least we be unfair and then get the wrath of the Eastern "Expert" :wink: ). c. Seemed short on volunteers?? Saturday PM a. Rec division looks about the same as last year, some have improved, some look the same, some have declined. b. Regatta ran better in the afternoon, bugs must have been worked out or they got more help. c. Ended on time which was nice. Sunday a. Wet b. Interesting steering, bumper cars using DBs is an interesting sight. c. Lining up was a little hit and miss. If you stood at the end of the race course, the boats were lined up all over the place (other than straight down the course). Maybe this is why so many DBs steered off course (or they took the Subaru "Learn How to Steer" challenge :shock:, couldn't resist) d. Seemed better than Saturday for the time I was there. Overall a. Nothing special, especially the weather. b. No team stuck out but it clearly appears FCRCC Mixed and PR are the teams to beat. I would probably put Subaru in there but cannot tell as they haven't raced anybody of their calibre yet (are they afraid or still in stealth mode?) c. Looks like the docks will be the same as last year, so much for the docks on the north side. Title: Re: Previous Comments Post by: Rossifumi on June 06, 2005, 08:22:15 AM Quote from: kelfon The previous comments are just comments reflected by myself and not by my team. Yeah you're right I need to chill. I can own up that I made a mistake and sorry to those whom I have offended. Though I am new to these forums, I guess I got a bit defensive. I will be more responsible in the future. I do give a Ruck, I will bring the Ruck, and the Ruck will see y'all at Alcan. It will be fun to race y'all. Peace. I don't recall seeing many comments posted from anyone by Ruckus. Not hearing much coming out of your team I always thought gee, that's a nice team. Heads down, get the job done etc etc.. Then you made your post haha. In the end, your post does reflect on your team but whatever, water under the Cambie bridge. If anything, this Regatta shows that steering might be an issue come Alcan. Saturday was eventful, but Sunday was off the charts. Docks/Dzone moving to the North of the Ball might be a move coming next year still. Hope not though.

http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=Race1End http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=Race2End http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=Race3End Race 1 is Heat 2 (1:15pm) Race 2 is Heat 6(?) (2:15pm) but don't quote me on this. Race 3 is the Rec A final. Enjoy! Apologies to the boat in Lane 5 during Race 2 in the links above: as steers, I badly underestimated the push of the wind northwards and drifted into your lane as we were lining up at the red buoy. I did manage to get lined up properly by the start line, but once again, apologies for spending a good 2-3 mins trying to maneuver out of your way.
