	First update from OpenCountry: QUOTE ust another sunny day in Auckland New Zealand! Thanks RC for setting this up. Yak & I are almost ready to go. The weather forecast is "light winds variable - might get up to 5 knots some time in the next 48 hrs. So We expect a slow race. Must give the Easter Bunny our sea address Hope he delivers!!! RC we will send you photos and updates as we work our way to Tauranga. But we are not expecting this to be a quick race. The weather is fabulous! But not for sailing ha ha. Cheers for now from the scurvy crew onboard Open Country.

	TYPBC Race Leaderboard Sailonline was back in New Zealand for the 2014 running of the classic Auckland to Tauranga Race, and for the second year in a row, was associated with the official race. Unfortunately for the real racers, the wx in Auckland was "inclement" and the start had to be delayed, but the virtual race set off at the originally scheduled time. This is the fourth time of running this race, the second with Young 11s, and our winner this year arrived in record time - beating the previous best (also set by a Young 11 in 2011) by 4h 20m. The challenge is now set! Congratulations to all three who took our podium this time If you want to see how the leaders or top SOLers tracks compared with yours, you can do so easily by using the comparison feature at hmm's SOL Race Data Centre --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2015-04-02 09:06:56 ---

Kamchatsky to Tromsoe 2024

Just before the light failed entirely in Antarctica, Skip Novak managed to get his Pelagic 77 out of the ice and north up the Pacific to Kamchatsky. The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
