	Tazu -- thanks for spotting the error at Napier Mark, it has now been fixed to ensure the fleet passes it to starboard! 76T -- please would you post the polar for the Young 11 if you think that will make us a little more competitive. The race will be run as the North Island Circuit (probably without stops) to avoid any chance of copyright problems with the IRL race organisers. --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-01-19 13:17:02 ---

	SOLer WairuaExpress is sailing in the IRL Round North Island race and SOL is hoping that we will get the technical side set up so that Open Country (Wairua's real boat) will appear on the SOL race screen. The SOLgods and others are working to get this set up. Thus, it would seem more appropriate to try and match what the IRL fleet will be doing. In his latest email WairuaExpress has indicated the following possible times for each leg of the race: QUOTE I think I told you that we have 3 stops in the race! Manganui, 24 hrs ETA Sun 20th Depart Mon 21st Wellington 48 hrs ETA Fri 25th Depart Mon 28th Napier 24 hrs ETA Wed 02 Mar Depart Fri 04 AKL Finish ETA Sun 06th Mar. ( well that's the game plan - but the Weather Gods will have the final say! UNQUOTE For SOL to run similar legs would therefore seem most appropriate... we could even run the timing as we are doing with the Global Challenge i.e., using the SOL winners arrival as the trigger for the "overnights". What do you all think please? ------------------------- 1 February: I have now added the four courses to the SOL database so we are "set"!! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-02-01 11:14:51 ---

	Hi All, I'm Cameron, chairman of SSANZ. I'd like to see a online RNI to replicate our race so that shore based supporters can have a go too. I can put a story on the official SSANZ website and links from the homepage so people know it's happening. Ultimately I'd like to replicate the actual race as close as possible and as such could email start times for legs etc as soon as they are notified. Please contact me on thorpecameron@xtra.co.nz if you wish to pursue this further. Cameron

	Hi Cameron Your post is a delightful and very welcome surprise out of the blue! I have just emailed you but also wish to say here that SOL will be very happy to "buddy up" in a virtual capacity with SSANZ for its Round North Island race regards Joanne / RainbowChaser SOLgoddess (Races) --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-02-13 01:14:56 ---

	Just an update for anyone following this thread. The great news is that SSANZ is very keen on buddy-ing up with SOL for this year's Round North Island race so that supporters and family members of those racing the real race will be able to sail it virtually. SSANZ is the New Zealand "home" of short-handed offshore racing so, who knows, but this may be the beginning of a great relationship between SOL and SSANZ!!

	A hearty WELL DONE! to the SOLGods and Goddess! This is certainly the best virtual-sailing experience AND community available. Expect more groups may follow the lead of SSANZ. Good Stuff!

	76Trombones said @ 2011-01-08 18:07:22: Excellent catch Taz! Question should be referred to the designers, but IRL there is a stop at Napier, so I assume that the intention was to pass it to Stb. Yes there are a bunch of representative boat we could use. The 88 is a popular class, and we have a great polar, but it's a bit small for this type of race. There are a couple of Young 11s in the entry list that I have polars for. I'm happy with the boat as-is. I'll post the polars for a couple of alternates anyways. Doesn't hurt. Hi 76Trombones, You mention you have polars for young 88's. Any chance I could get a copy? I'm a young 88 owner in Brisbane and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to see the polars for the 88's. Regards, Ashley

	Hi Ashley I have just checked the Boat Types link at the top of this forum and found this: http://daysailer.wordpress.com/2010/10/27/young-88/#more-254 hopefully that will give you the info you need!!

	Hi Ashley. The image for the Young 88 is still on Sol'd but the text download is missing. It can be accessed here: http://race.sailport.se/site_media/vpp/young_88.txt One of our NZL boats provided that one I think. Here is an ORC certificate for an (older) French Young 88: http://www.ffvoile.net/ffv/public/habitable1/orc/certifs/pdf/11024a.pdf "gain au vent/sous le vent" are VMG at the angles specified. Hope that helps! 76T

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!
