	OK, sneak preview time. Log in as the sol boat: Username: sol Password: sol and then click here Do you think we need to add a North Head waypoint (headland opposite RAYC) so that those who don't max zoom to start can see to go round the headland? For the start at least? ___________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-01-19 19:17:49 ---

	Per instructions: My only comment on the Three Kings Race, is the Start location. Depending on start time, (wrong for somebody, somewhere.) and depending on wind, it looks like a tricky DC Start. That might turn off people from entering? We often see smaller fleets than those registered. (You have to register to see the details of the start location.) ...newsartist

	Didn't manage to see the race online but I've no objection to moving the start line. Although, it isn't hard to set a dc for the first turn, so it isn't the toughest start line out there. The recent start to A3 was much more difficult and that still had a good turn out.

	The kmz file had marks set up? I had Cape Brett rather than Cape Rodney and all the 3 Kings islands included. The marks you have set up are fine though and make no difference to the race. Note that North Cape is called Cape Reinga. That is the only revision required.

	Hi Scotsman - I have renamed North Cspe NZ to Cape Reinga and I have switched Cape Rodney for Cape Brett. When I decided to set the race up yesterday I totally forgot to load your kmz.. I am v sorry. However, we can't have a mark in the middle of the island group as the sailing line would require us to duck inside it (its how the server sets marks vs line) and the NOR has us leaving the entire group to port. Maybe my idea of putting a mark on North Head will help folks with setting DCs for the start?

	I will leave the race open for preview until tomorrow morning UTC-time for any last comments, thereafter it will be closed/archived until we run it in February. Thank you to those posting comments... 'tis much appreciated.

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!
