	I agree with AGage who keeps signing in as "sol", if 76T's Defender is included in this fleet all bets are off. None so blind

	I was just coming back to say that was me - dont even know why I had a sol login then - and I only use it for testing things in the client in as many races/boats as I can 8mR, but not workin gon that now! I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	That's the one without the spin The lobe is ability to chase apparent wind deep. It's still forward of beam at TWA140. Polar is "raw" VPP output. No runs below 20deg (vs 30 for the IMSYC fleet). --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2011-05-31 17:49:22 ---

	Actually, it's tough to get a spin to perform due to some hiccups in the rule. Not sure if the IMSYC group found/fixed/plugged the holes, but the Lines Processing Program bases weight of the rig assigned to the main (%mast+sail) as .5foot-length^2 rather than .5footluff... Additionally, the weight of jib overlap doesn't measure in. This means that you can put a 60m wing mast with no headsail on the boat for "free" apart from higher centre of effort, while a long boom really kills you. Hang a "blade" tacked just in front of the mast with whatever overlap you want (unconstrained by the rules, we'll rig a boomkin) and you have a lightweight rig with tons of power. Here's the "wide" version of the minimum displacement hull. The overall flare is a single plane defined by the depth requirement and prismatic coefficient. Bow/stern flare adjusts to meet displacement. A knuckle in the intermediate station ensures convexity with all flat surfaces. Righting moment at min displacement is ~40% more than the min beam version. Submerged hull is identical. This is the symmetric version. Sorry - a bit heavy for SOL... anyways, you can see I had fun. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2011-06-02 02:51:01 --- Attachments* minTRIthmb.jpg (5.6 KB) minTRI.jpg (58.8 KB)

	Can I have the boat that "Sol" is currently sailing in this race please It looks to have a very fast polar.

	AGage, Nice new tool that "Polar Explorer" well done mate. Fantastic range of tools you have developed thanks a lot.

	Very welcome UC... Is comments like yours that make it entirely worth the effort to publish - although obviously once written for personal use its not a whole lot more work to make public, but I also want to ensure that others have access to anything I write - I feel such an open policy is the fairest... And if something I write helps me, I wouldnt feel the same if I did well unless it was freely available... Ideally I would like to make a few of them 'browser applications' so that Mac and Linux users have equal access I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	AGage said @ 2011-06-03 19:42:20: Linux users have equal access Looking forward to this with anticipation

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

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!
