The course of one early trailable y

The course of one early trailable yacht race went from Buoy 1 (near the entrance) to Buoy 10 (towards Cowes) and then inshore towards Somers. This meant passing through the Bank. Bob Hibbins reports that as they passed through, huge swells appeared suddenly, which were steep enough to hide near boats from each other, and must therefore have been nearly 24 feet high and with white foam on their tops. They were terrifying, and appeared to tower over their Jedda, which other skippers said looked like a dinghy by comparison. When going through from Buoy 10 to Somers a breaking wave went over Tom Robinson’s Explorer, completely submerging it, but they managed to sail away.

Fog also causes wierd experiences. Without a compass, all sense of direction and position can be lost. George Benwell has had several calls via radio for assistance in fog conditions. The location of the boat had to be solved by sounds, wave direction, and/or memory. One boat called and said he had no idea of his position, except that he was somewhere in the Western Entrance, ‘Between Balnarring, Pt. Grant (Phillip Is.) and Sandy Pt.’. George recommended that he drop anchor, and note which way the the tide passed his boat. From this he was able decide to go to the right for Phillip Island or the left for Somers. He made his decision. Shortly after he called and said he heard the sound of the ferry and was following that home. Some of our boats have had experiences in fog in Western Port, but generally they have had a rough idea of their position, and have had compasses to guide them home.

Waktu satu yacht race trailable awal pergi dari Buoy 1 (dekat pintu masuk) ke Buoy 10 (menuju Cowes) dan kemudian perairan pantai menuju Somers. Ini berarti melewati Bank. Bob Hibbins melaporkan bahwa mereka berjalan melalui, membengkak besar muncul tiba-tiba, yang cukup curam untuk menyembunyikan dekat kapal dari satu sama lain, dan karena itu pasti sudah hampir 24 kaki tinggi dan dengan busa putih di puncak mereka. Mereka menakutkan, dan tampaknya menara di atas Jeddah mereka, yang nakhoda lain mengatakan tampak seperti sampan dengan perbandingan. Ketika akan melalui dari Buoy 10 ke Somers gelombang pecah pergi Tom Robinson Explorer, benar-benar menenggelamkan itu, tapi mereka berhasil berlayar jauh. Kabut juga menyebabkan pengalaman aneh. Tanpa kompas, semua rasa arah dan posisi bisa hilang. George Benwell telah memiliki beberapa panggilan melalui radio untuk bantuan dalam kondisi kabut. Lokasi perahu harus diselesaikan dengan suara, arah gelombang, dan / atau memori. Satu perahu menelepon dan mengatakan ia tidak tahu posisinya, kecuali bahwa ia adalah suatu tempat di Entrance Barat, 'Antara Balnarring, Pt. Hibah (Phillip Apakah.) Dan Sandy Pt. '. George direkomendasikan bahwa ia membuang sauh, dan perhatikan cara yang pasang berlalu perahunya. Dari ini ia mampu memutuskan untuk pergi ke kanan untuk Phillip Island atau kiri untuk Somers. Dia membuat keputusan. Tak lama setelah dia menelepon dan mengatakan ia mendengar suara feri dan mengikuti rumah itu. Beberapa perahu kami telah memiliki pengalaman dalam kabut di Port Barat, tetapi umumnya mereka telah memiliki gambaran kasar tentang posisi mereka, dan memiliki kompas untuk membimbing mereka pulang.
