	Can there be a section / page with details of the boats we are racing. Ideally a pretty picture(s) but with good profile and layout drawings, dimensions, designer, builders, racing history summary. Perhaps "good" features and those where developement and design have continued on from. Links to more detailed sites would be better than editing down details & easier for all. Perhaps one page per boat? If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	Nice idea. Considering the work load I can only come up with polars for the boats and if users have additional info about the boats it would be nice to link in some way, yes. ...one of the guys behind the game...

	Good idea, starting with the x-332 from thy Cyclades volcano r run. It's not any longer in production but you can see a used one here: http://www.x-yachts.ch/seeems/70021.asp?retUrl=javascript:_w.history.back()&lp69482=0 ciao Bernd --- Last Edited by K3 at 2009-03-30 06:19:03 ---

	Perfect. Now just put a photo with that link or ask that website if you can copy thie page. They may even email the original to you. Ask other bi-lingual sailors to translate for you. email the original text in WORD.DOC or PDF format; make another page in the "new" language and paste the translation. Give credit (and blame?) to the SOL translating sailor. PS. Confusious said that "pictures speak a thousand words" and don't need translation more than 100 years or 1,000+ years ago! If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	Jacob perhaps all you need now is to add the SOL Polar chart and perhaps Brainaid's 3D polar diagrams. So X-332 is all sorted. If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	The Volvo site should have some pretty promotional photos for their 70 footers. Having an incorrect polar, or not exactly correct polar does NOT matter that much. Just add a comment e.g. For SOL use only. Now "Next boat" please. Thanks --- Last Edited by Paul Rosser at 2009-03-30 08:56:12 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

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!

The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.
