	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.

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
