Brainaid's website went down yesterday, 30 December.

When contacted, he tried to restart his server but was unable to, so has submitted a ticket to his server provider.

As soon as he is able, he will restore its functionality.

I have the polar for 90ft monohull in two formats: "detailed data as csv" (90f_monohull.csv) and "qtVLM polar" (boat_90f_monohull.csv). I have the data for the steinlager polar, but I have yet to find a way to convert it into a useful format.
I can't supply the Wx GRIB files.

I converted the Steinlager polar into a csv file, thanks to Svein for emailing me the raw data.

Attached the csv file.

Please let me know if problems occur.

GW, Arthur

BRAINAID WEBSITE UPDATE

Brainaid's server provider had a major RAID array failure (i.e., the hard drive) and is having to rebuild.

There is no time to complete this - perhaps later today/tomorrow.

Please just keep trying to connect.

As an SOTP (Seat Of The Pants) SOLer my knowledge of the resources is strictly limited ... BUT:

POLARS

Polars in txt format are available within each race via the Info tab (blue questionmark tab).

GRIBs

I understand you can register with NOAA to download their files and there is a grib reader at zygrib

obviously those of you using routers will, probably, have other sources of file-data/info, so do please share these here!

Maybe you have to replace the . with a , in my csv file, depending on language/international settings in Excel.

Here is the detailed data as csv file for Steinlager II. Can be opened with spinnacer.
This file contains all data needed to create the other formats.

I see there's a qtVLM polar now, if there's any other format you'd like to have, give me an other polar in that format and I'll see what I can do.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!

The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
