RACING PIGEON ARTICLE BY SILVIO MATTACHIONE

Dear Sir / Estimado colombófilo:

Racing pigeons over Atlantic Sea / Brieftauben-Rennen / Duivensport:

Derby Arona: By Silvio Mattachione
(Read complete article on PIPA Click here)

(En español aquí)

A number of years ago, I believe it was 2003 I became aware of the performance of a racing pigeon “Bayo Casablanca” .It was really quite a story and I wrote a long and detailed article outlining the circumstances of that performance.

For those interested the original article can be found at http://www.silvio-co.com/pigeons/bayo.htm and was entitled “Bayo Casablanca: World Record Over The Sea.” To say that I was fascinated would be an understatement. Prior to the "World Record "flight of "Bayo Casablanca" owned by Jose and Abel Ledesma of "Ledesma Loft," no bird had ever successfully flown this distance over the sea to be clocked at their home loft on the morning of the second day. It means that this incredible athlete flew at least 1000 kilometers over the ocean on the day of release!
So who is Jose Ledesma? Much to my surprise I found that Jose Ledesma is a Composer of music. He produces incredible music that combines his love and respect of the past and its popular island traditions the sounds of his country and his people fused to the anticipation of all that the future may promise. He has vision that he is able to express in music and in the forming of living art in the breeding of very beautiful yet incredibly rugged racing pigeons capable of incredible feats. Most people do not know that the world famous Dutch fancier Wout Smeulders (breeder of the Smeulders Janssens, the Kannon 23 X 1st etc) was also a Conductor and incredible lover of music. So do Composers and Conductors have an edge on just normal pigeon breeders? I do not know but I may have to investigate further. Jose is successful in many different fields of human endeavor. Beautiful music, beautiful design and beautiful racing pigeons what more could you wish to achieve?
Well it would seem that Ledesma is always looking for a challenge. Most men would never have considered attempting to organize a one loft race let alone bring it to International attention and of all places on an Island in the middle of the Atlantic. If anyone had ever run such a scheme by me I would certainly have accused the originator of such an incredible idea of being “a few notes short of a symphony!”Yet this is exactly what Jose Ledesma did! He successfully created the “Ultimate Challenge” he brought the “Ultimate One Loft Race” into existence regardless of all of the negative pontifications the “nay sayers”. There is no one loft race in the world that can lay claim to being the “Ultimate Challenge” that is not up until Ledesma created “DERBY ARONA”. “Derby Arona” has within a brief five years established itself as a “World Class” sporting event...(Read complete article on PIPA Click here)

.. and many more in next days!

NOTICE:

New changes will make to trainings, hotspot, final race weather, etc for 2011 race!

We will explain in more detail next days!

Some changes will be:

1. More 5 Km initial trainings.

2. More Island trainings.

3. More offshore short trainings.

4. One more (Las Palmas) - Gran Canaria HotSpot Training

5. Fuerteventura Semifinal

Liberations must only be done in perfect conditions allowing a few days before or after HS races for perfect weather with a 5 day scheduled Final & semi final liberation. In order to appease International entrant’s photo’s from web cams or friends can be posted on web page reflecting weather on route with wind and direction at specific times.

For final a select group of experienced International fanciers can be selected to aid the race committee in decision when to liberate during 5 day period. Prize giving can be scheduled at end of 5 day period. Care must also be taken with basketing day to ensure pigeon does not spend too much time in basket during hold overs.

ANMERKUNG:

Im Zusammenhang mit dem schlechten Flugverlauf 2010 haben wir folgende Änderungen für 2011 vorgesehen:

1. Es werden mehr Trainingsflüge über 5 km durchgeführt.
2. Es werden Insel-Flüge vorgesehen.
3. Es werden mehr Trainingsflüge über das Wasser vorgesehen.
4. Es wird einen weiteren Hot-Spot-Flug von Gran Canaria geben.
5. Es findet ein Semifinalflug von Fuerteventura statt.

Der Auflass beim Semi- und Finalflug wird nur unter perfekten Wetterbedingungen erfolgen. Hier wird ein Zeitrahmen von 5 Tagen vorgesehen, in dem der Auflass stattfinden kann. Außerdem werden Webcams auf der Flugroute genutzt, die über die Wettersituation informieren sollen.
Für den Finalflug wird eine internationale Züchtergruppe Mitspracherecht bezüglich des Auflasses haben. Auch hier wird ein Zeitrahmen von 5 Tagen genutzt, dementsprechend kann auch die Siegerehrung verlegt werden. Zum Wohlbefinden der Tauben, wird auch versucht, den Einsatztag zu verlegen, wenn die Wetteraussichten nicht gut sein sollten, damit die Tiere nicht unnötige Zeit in den Körben verbringen.
