	Hello from Poland! I would like to propose a winter race on Delphia 47 boats. It will be a part of virtual trip around the Europe. How can I deliver you polar curves of our boats? Excel file is OK? Proposed start date is 2.03.2013 9:00 GMT Are the race data OK? --- Ostatnio edytowane 2013-02-11 22:55:02 przez gpawlak --- --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-04-20 14:20:41 --- Attachments WR2013.kmz (1.2 KB)

	Hi gpawlak, Thank you for your suggestion, I have finally had a chance to look into it. The race itself seems pretty straightforward so no problem there. Similar to the end of the Global race this leg is quite interesting for strategy. I am currently looking into the race calendar. Not sure if we have a good spot for it around the 2nd of March. You noted you want the race to be part of a round Europe series, I would love to see the rest of the legs you are suggesting and the sort of time frame you have in mind. Excel for the polar should be okay, send us the data and I can make sure we can use it. Looking forward to hear from you and I get back to you if we can fit it in. Jeroen I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	Hi Jeoren, Thanks very much for your answer. Our virtual trip is a training for skippers from our club. They prepare projects for every leg of trip. They download weather info, decide about route on chart, describe pilots info, analyze tides and currents etc. We like to have one leg as a real sailing. Your system is perfect for this. They have to compare polar data with real meteo situation and your server engine is amazing! The beginning of March is most suitable because now they have two weeks leg from Cadiz to Madeira. If you have another proposition of timing we try to change our schedule. Please find attached a polar data file. The name of boat is Delphia 57. Your project is very interesting for me, I will be very happy to cooperate with you. My passion is electronic navigation. Regards Grzegorz Attachments polar_data.xls (8.5 KB)

	Hi, let me know which start date will be suitable for you. I'd like to prepare an instruction for participants in Polish Grzegorz

	gpawlack - sorry you had to chase a reply to this via email. As SOL is now running the NYC-SFO race that is essentially occupying our "ocean" category for now, but a Madeira-Vigo routing is not a huge number of days so, looking into the April calendar we certainly do have some spare capacity - perhaps a start on 11/12 April? Once I have posted this reply, I will be emailing your polar data file to a couple of SOLers who can help set up polars in the SOL system. _________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-03-15 19:47:55 ---

	Hi, thanks for your reply, Better late than never... Our trip moved in meantime forward. Perhaps I will propose a short 2-3 days race in the Channel (La Rochelle - Plymouth for example - 350 Nm). A start on 11/12 is OK. I will send you next week a file with race route in KML format. Let me know if that idea is OK?

	That could work BUT... as there is a group of SOLers who are, in real life, entering the Fastnet Race - see Jubilant's Fastnet Campaign, SOL will be running their two qualifying races in May. 1. Cowes to Le Havre on 4 May 2 Cowes/Eddystone light/Cowes on 25 May. Not sure if folks will be happy with another UK/cross channel option but... maybe something along the French or Dutch coasts? ___________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-03-15 21:23:52 ---

	And what about: San Sebastian - Brest with Start on 5 of April? Is it better?

	I like the route - not one we have done before, but 5 April won't work. As I posted further up this thread, you need to check the draft calendar(s) when proposing races and if you look at the April calendar the dates of 11/12 remain possible, but not 5th as we are racing off Australia that weekend.

	OK now I understand your system - let's start at 12 of April 19:00 UTC?

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
