    One of the yachts ended up in Burton upon Trent last year.

    I think it was using one of Dominion's homing devices

    Madam Wen sailing well but a slow 1st leg run.
    Ian - say 1 team comes off the hill back into Whitehaven and has to wait for the gates to open and another team comes back 2 hours later (and slower) and they both then leave the harbour at the same time does the 2 hour quicker run place the team 2 hours ahead as a whole or is that quicker run negated by the tide situation??

    Overall the time is the same but it depends on when the runners dib in on the return.

    if the runners are after winning the Hill trophy they will have to dib in as soon as possible at that point the 'sailing' leg starts even if the boat is in the harbour for a further two hours. If the skipper wants to win the sailing leg he can ask the runners to dib in just before they set sail.
    Does this make sense

    Yes, it was the overall bit I was trying to fathom - cheers.
