Frank,
"I had a thought last night. If we actually tried this, and there were ten boats in the race sailing only by celestial to Tahiti, each using counterfeit almanacs directing them to Easter Island, I suspect anywhere from three to six of them would merrily arrive in Tahiti anyway, since cheating is so easy."
There are lots of ways to cheat. Jet con trails, am radio as direction finder, and mooching a position off a passing ship come to mind.
