Posted by outlaw Posts 33 Registered at 2012-06-01 13:37:55	2013-03-05 20:41:36 - NY-SF start time
	Hi all, NY-SF is a record attempt, as such we should want the fastest possible conditions... I requested the start time change to Thursday, it is now clear that a later start is much faster. Since postponing a race twice is unprecedented and there is another race on Friday, please post if you support another move!!! *update for 2230 wx* Well nevermind. A later start still is favored, but the huge differences in the first 72h have been erased, and what happens in the light air is ultimately luck. _________________________ PLEASE NOTE THAT TO CHANGE THE START A SECOND TIME WILL REQUIRE OVERWHELMING SUPPORT FOR IT BEFORE 1200utc TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, 6 MARCH. /RainbowChaser ____________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-03-05 21:36:36 --- --- Zuletzt bearbeitet von outlaw am 2013-03-05 23:08:13 ---

	Friday seems to be the fastest day of the race, go for it!

	As a first-timer on SOL I am just looking forward to a challenging race with realistic weather and helming scenarios. I will be happy to go along with the majority even if Thursday noon looked like the start of a hairy ride.

	Actually the best start time to get us to the doldrums faster would be around 02:00~03:00 thur the 7th. But I vote no more changes. Let's just race. --- Last Edited by Jack Watson at 2013-03-05 21:32:52 ---

	Newbie that I am, it is tempting to abstain. That said, I favor picking the 'best' day in a 5-day forecast ... then switching to a 48hr forecast to prevent second guessing. Of course, there is the alternative of adding a timed race adjunct to the one with all the boats. So, keep the registration open for a while. Late entries might not win the race, but they might set the record.
