An interesting idea would be to sail this race with 8mR boats, I think Finland has the biggest fleet of eights in the world and also Helsinki is hosting their Worlds this summer, so we might attract some finnish classic sailors that way.

I think we could get the polars for a generic eight somewhere.

I like the idea of sailing this race in 8mR in conjunction with their worlds.There has been a resurgence of interest in the class in AUS in recent years and I know of 2 boats from here going to the worlds. Polars should be easy to obtain, several well known designers are producing new designs. David Vieira of Portugal is considered the world authority on 8mRs, he designs, builds and restores them.

I am setting something up for this coming weekend (Turku to Helsinki), with Smo's blessing.

Won't in any way interfere with what you guys are up to!

:-)
===============

OK, its set up. To see it in all its glory you should wait for the next WX update at 1630 today (Monday, 25 Feb) but if you can manage without the full WX Zone then just log in as the sol boat:

USERNAME: sol
PASSWORD: sol

and then click here

If you think the course is too tricky or needs additional waypoints to make it more fun etc just add comments here (after discussing it in race chat no doubt!!)

PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2025

Welcome back to Auckland for the 2025 PIC Coastal Classic! In partnership with the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club, Sailonline is thrilled to race this iconic 118nm dash to Russell. First sailed in 1982 and inspired by early powerboat runs, it’s now a legendary multihull showdown. This year we race Ocean 50 foiling trimarans—fast, agile, and built for offshore performance. Expect tactical challenges, adrenaline-fueled downwind legs, and nail-biting lulls. Finish line rewards? Bacon butties, rum, and bragging rights in beautiful Russell!

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon 2025 - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
