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!!)

Back in 2013, longstanding SOLer Musigny and his friend xthyra invited us for a three race tour of beautiful Lake Vättern in the heart of southern Sweden.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
