Cape Hillsborough Regatta 2015

Posted on November 16, 2015 by gekkosteve

Another great regatta although a little more wind would have been welcomed. 5.5m sails all weekend but no wheeling.

Thanks to Kay and Colin for the photos.

For a kart that started a race but did not finish the race it will be scored the number of karts that finished the race plus 1.
Note: The results are calculated using the Low point scoring System used for sailing. The lowest score is the winner.
Points are awarded equal to the finish position. For a kart that did not contest a race it is scored the number of entrants in the series plus 1.

Blokart Race Video at Bangalee

Posted on February 16, 2011 by gekkosteve

A few weeks ago I raced around the beach with a camera strapped to the front of my kart. I’ve eventually put a video together. If nothing else, it clearly shows the importance of getting a fast start at the front of the fleet.

I didn’t! You can learn from my mistakes.

Local Blokart Racing gets off the ground

Posted on January 17, 2011 by gekkosteve

Paul Effeney writes:-

The Blokart racing on Saturday afternoon was a lot of fun and great to see a good number of karts and people turn up.

I have attached a set of results for the races. These may need some explaining, as I have used the same scoring system that is used for sailing races. I have added some notes below the table to try and explain the points. For races that a kart did not contest/start it scored 15 points, this is based on 14 karts that raced during the afternoon plus 1.
