I've shortened the course a little but the layout is unchanged.

TCF
A(large) 0.974
A(small) 1.241
B 1.206
C 1.041
D 1.000

Pursuit start times:
A(large) 18:21:02
A(small) 18:00:00
B 18:02:46
C 18:16:18
D 18:19:02

If the fleet wants to try the pursuit format, the idea is as follows: The handicaps have been pre-applied. Each boat-type has it's own start time, with the slower boats going first. The faster boats chase down the rest, and if I've done the math correctly everyone crosses the finish line at the same time. Because the different boat speeds have already been taken into account, the final rank is the order that the boats finish.

IRL this can be quite fun, and the different speeds and polar shapes adds some excitement :-)

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!
