	Hi Hawk - thanks for this kmz.. all looks perfect to me (opened in Google Earth no problem)! As you want this to tie in with your school programme do you have a particular week/month in which you would like this raced? To get good winds I would imagine October would be fun? This will make a good weekend race As for boat-type.. what boats are used locally? Any ideas?

	October is fine with me. I´ll check boattypes shortly, and will return here - both a date for the race AND boattype! PS! Is it possible to navigate in the low waters NE of Waypoint 2 ? I think it will be a challeging route there, but I dont know how it will show in the SOL-klient. --- Last Edited by FRI Hawk54 DEN at 2011-07-31 19:37:04 ---

	Hawk - I will set it up this coming week and if we need to tweak the waypoints I will mention it here

	TY RC - btw, I think it is better to put WP2 up the nothern tip of Island Aeroe - can you do that, or do you prefer a new GE-file?

	Hawk Great Race! I suspect the route may have to alter to WP1 as the Alssund may not show in the SOL client. I tried a race with an even larger water feature, and it did not show up. Alternative might be WP1 on the north tip of Nordborg (leave to starboard). I'm sure your students will have a GREAT time with this race. Well done! SP

	Can one sail under / over Sundbrovej 54d57.54N 10d39.21E? The GE photos show it is very close to sea level. By contrast the Brovejen 54d56.51N 10d42.27E looks much higher off the water. IRL is there much tide here. It would be an interesting tidal challange in shallow twisting waters vs the straight course in deeper water. If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	BTW my mast is virtually 100m high!! If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Unfortually the SOL-client does not show the Store Bælt-bridge (WP3), so maybe that WP doesnt make sence!

Hi Paul I cant fint the positions you mention, but it is possible to sail the route I have made, both on SOL and IRL. BUT not with a mast, 100 m high I will find another boattype ! There is practically no tide in these waters but a lot of stream (not sure, if this is the word in English, sorry) at Strib Lighthouse (WP 5). This winter I saw a difference of sealevel because of the strong stream, at that point. An amazing sight, that I have only seen at "Saltstraumen" in North Norway (close to Bodö), but it was caused by the tide).

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!
