2010-07-05 19:34:13 - short races in sol databank

These have been pulled from the bottom of the archive. I checked the finish time of the leaders and the last 60% of the fleet to be sure they could be done in a weekend. This is a work in progress. More to come later.

I suggest changing some of the boats out though, a lot of the early races were run in a "40 footer". As this has a note in the archives that says "do not use". The longer races could be sailed in Seacarts or Open boats or 50~70' race boats.

Short races ready to go in sol DB:

Winter Challenge (or could be summer or fall challange) 302 mi.
In the Med, was run as a timed race in 60 ft tris, but could also be a fleet race. Winner was in 13 hrs 35 min+, top 50 under 17 hours, #400 was 2 days 1 hour 38 min.

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!
