	HiSmo - that looks like a lot of fun! Can you please perhaps come up with a course and waypoints? I couldn't find that while reading-in. What I did find was this: QUOTE The concept The concept is simple. Each team sails intensely day and night on a Formula 18 (5,5 m catamaran), along a unique course drawn among 100.000 rocks and islands. On the way, the competitors have to find 20-25 checkpoints located on islands (pontoons, beaches, boats, lighthouses) and described in the "Archipelago Raid Book" (latitude, longitude). The teams are free to choose their route between two checkpoints. UNQUOTE

	This race can be just great, I saw the irl race on tv last year, and looked like a very nice one, and perfect for some practice races very funny too.

	Smo - if you look at the thread called "Nine Islands, Nine Lights" you will see the Rolls Royce of race proposals. I don't expect you to follow that example, but something resembling that suggested by the Guide on How to Prepare SOL Race Proposals would be excellent! Kiitos.

	Smo - maybe you can get JakeS (an SYC Member) to work on this with you? We need coords, course, dates, race description as a minimum

	Here is that Archipelago Raid race by GE, if it's still relevant. Smo, I'm afraid that we created a "monster". . . 481nm / 21 wp's . . . Attachments Swe-Fin_archipelago_race.kmz (4.2 KB)

	Sounds like we need F18 for that ...

	As the website for this race has been completely hacked ... do we have a date for it? or is it up to us when we run it? I thought it was up and coming?....

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!
