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.

I'm with Cappy - LET'S RACE AS NOW SCHEDULED!!!

I always start late anyway, and always finish in the top 150-200, whatever everyone else wants I'm good with.
I hate work, it always gets in the way of having fun. LOL

Agreed... long race and a lot can happen. Conditions are the same for all... So... Let's get cracking on planned start time
I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

I agree the systems will be what they will be and we should go as planned. Its a long race and in real sailing in general races start as advertised without being able to pick and chose the best weather. PR

UPDATE

As at now, the majority are in favour with staying with the current start time.

The stats are:

Current Start: 17
New Start: 2
Don't Mind: 2

I am now out until later this morning so, despite this majority, we will of course wait until the midday cut-off. That's fair isn't it?

:-)

Thank you all for your replies so far, this can help us for future races as well.

My personal thought is go as planned and if we like it we can always re-visit this one and set it up so we can have even more of a record run.

Greetings to all, my opinion is that you should not change neither the hour nor the day of departure, ie would have to leave the day was planned from the beginning, as the race is long and winds conditions many days can vary widely as to the best and worse.

saludos a todos , mi opinion es que no se debe cambiar ni la hora ni el dia de la salida , es decir que habria que salir el dia que estaba previsto desde su origen, ya que la carrera es muy larga y las condiciones de vientos en tantos dias pueden ser muy variables tan to a mejor como a peor

Let's get going as scheduled. The weather on this one is going to even out the optimum starting time anyway due to the length of the race.

Red Eye - Wellington to Nelson 2025


Welcome indeed to our first race of six “Red Eye Specials” - short overnighters through tricky high resolution winds, that will likely have you setting an alarm or two to not miss a weather update or tight rounding or three. This first one is a 105nm IRL classic out into New Zealand’s Cook Strait usually raced around the same time as our online race will start, raced only once before on SOL in 2012, and which on this occasion we will take on in our J-130!

Vendee Home - Cape Horn to Olon 2025

Welcome to our 2025 Ocean Race Championships starting off with the classic 6900nm drag race from Cape Horn back to the coast of Brittany leading or following the boats of the Vendee Globe fleet. A new polar from the board of the BNH Design Partnership is being made available to you for this one, in the hope that aboard her you too will be able to cover 600nm in a day when the conditions are right! It's winter outside, so like the IRL sailors, enjoy and stay inside!

AGage TIMED 100 Race 2025

SOL's gift to the memory of AGagewas a yearlong series of races circumnavigating Australia. This 100 nm race takes place in the St. Vincent Gulf off Adelaide to mark 12 years since the too-sudden end to the life of this remarkable SOLer. These were Aaron's home waters - he was a total competitor so... race to win! Please take the time to read the many tributes left in his memory. This is a TIMED race, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
