	VOR70 I reckon I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	I agree that Volvo OR 70 would be a good choice!

	I've never really bothered to think about how our polar compares to the real boats, but in this case I think VO70 (or open 60, or IMOCA 60) is a little too fast. There are mostly boats of 35-45ft on the entry list. There is a first 44.7 on both lists There is a farr 11.6 aka farr 38 on both lists I think swan 36 might be a match too (little slow maybe), and there's more on the entry list that are probably more similar (than VO70/open60/IMOCA60) to the real boats in the SOL boat house --- Last Edited by kroppyer at 2013-11-14 17:14:38 ---

	Link to boathouse doesn't seem to be working..I guess VO 70.

	I've corrected the link to our list of boats. I was going to go with a Farr 38 The First 44.7 hasn't been used much and has a useful polar. Looking at the Calendar we have the VO70 in the Christmas Ocean race. --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-11-14 17:52:57 ---

	Agree with Kroppy, nice to have average boat of the fleet not the fastest one. Would add FinnGulf FG43.

	Big & fast boats are always fun, but I'd vote for kropp's idea; a not that big nor fast boat: Swan 36, X35 OD or, new this summer, 11 metre OD.

	well we've got a First 44.7 and a VO70 in our boathouse. There's 1 of each in the race IRL. I'd say one of those 2
