	Hi all, In view of the delayed start in NZ for the VRTW race will our start remain as scheduled or be delayed at all? Thank you Tim (Pocket Rocket)

	At 16:03 Go4iT said in SWR chat: On behalf of SRC I confirm that the scheduled start time of 0100Z on 15th March has been postponed for at least 24 hours. The revised start time will be decided around 1200Z on 13/3 and posted ASAP.

	Looks like a further start delay out to Tuesday. http://goo.gl/a0Z4uu “We may have arrived on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now!” Martin Luther King Jr.

	SRC has determined that the postponed start of leg 5 of SWR will take place at the new location, NW of Rangitoto Island, at 0100Z Tuesday 17th March 2015. This is a final decision.

	It appears that we are starting despite the new postponement of the IRL race. I am in total disagreement with this decision as it makes incomprehensible the first postponement. Hope that the SRC can reconsider and delay the start accordingly.

	Hi ALL a couple of days ago we at SRC announced a delay in start of Leg 5 , and that the new start would be final . That announcement was placed here on my behalf . Today we have a solid opportunity to make a real start definite and possible , and therefore would like to bring such advantage to the entire SOL fleet . I of course apologise for change of opinion , and reassure you that this has been done in observance of the minimum 24 hours notice rule.( actually 27 before new start ) Talking about taking the blaim , it goes without saying that this decision has nothing to do with satisfying ONE SOLer , nor with making better start time for Europeans ...That is out of question !!! Oceans in SOL are prime spot , and deserve prime attention . I will be very careful in future not to state anything as definitive ( just in case ) Ciao ALL --- Last Edited by WIN at 2015-03-16 16:15:23 ---

	My view: The SOL management has made the proper decision and reacted to IRL Changes. There is no reason to put blaim anywhere, except maybe PAM

	I agree with svein. And also with Rod at 16:15 on chat today 16th March 2015 where he said "As I have said and hoped, many times, SOL is not supposed to be an "arcade game", but is intended as a simulation of ocean racing navigation reality." So - way to go SOL management! -
