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.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Tall Ships 2026 - Aarhus to Harlingen


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is from Aarhus in Denmark, through the Skaggerak and down the North Sea to Friesland’s Harlingen – a proper tall ship training adventure of circa 450nm, which online this year you will race in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Viareggio Bastia Viareggio 2026

Our sixth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil - was planned to be our third buddy-up with another incredible Italian event, the Viareggio Bastia Viareggio (or BVR for short). Unfortunately, in-real-life the BVR has been cancelled this year. But online we shall race it never the less. It’s a quickie – a 160nm roundtrip there-and-back in classic Class 40. Have fun, and if you’re planning a BBQ, piccola isola Capraia halfway across is simply lovely!

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!
