	A ton of data is going up at http://noticeboard.americascup.com/ They sail in such a limited range of conditions though...

	rrrrrrrrrrrricos... BRILLIANT footage... just the best. FYI the audio on the first YouTube has been muted due to copyright (but at least the vid itself hasn't been pulled)! Would be fun to play AC Racing on SOL... we could run a sort-of regatta perhaps over the space of a few hours? Folks would need to commit to participating but.. is deffo doable! SOL races are made up of several elements - to ensure optimal sailing conditions, someone would have to dictate to me the precise spot on earth and the exact coords (Decimal degrees) for me to get it set up on-the-run ... but the world IS our oyster so this shouldn't be too difficult. Just need someone to take this on as a project --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-07-15 12:05:11 ---

	It will be fascinating to see a SOL version of the America's Cup-----when our wind drops down to our usual (unfortunately) 4-5 Knots. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	"Nevah.....In the course of human history -- Has so much data---flowed to so many ---From so few boats-----" ...... to quote somebody who said something the same...once........ If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	I would love to see the same polars for races 18-19. OTUSA was getting faster and faster upwind. The best line from the audio feed was by Tom Slingsby to Spithill and crew, "Don't be afraid to go fast here".

Lake Victoria Sprint 2024

Welcome to Lake Victoria, home of the final sprint of Q4 and 2024. This Saturday we will sail our Lasers from Kaazi to Entebbe - 18 odd English miles in a cooling breeze, however slight it might be. Friends there will host an end of year BBQ of Luwombo, Muchomo, Matoke, and other delicacies. We will all sleep well after that. Now that the year is done relax and take in some sights like the Botanical Gardens and National Zoo. Enjoy the holidays and rest, 2025 sprints are a month away.

Christmas(W) to Christmas(E) Island 2024

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, so prepare your 90ft well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2024 challenge of a reversed race, starting in the Indian Ocean, racing to the Christmas Island in the Pacific! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2024. Please have fun! Fair winds!
