	That was already done too I happened to be reading emails when the thread-alert message came through! Can't promise to always be so prompt

	RC, the race is PERFECT now. You're GREAT!!! Thanks you very much. If you want, ask me what you think could be nice and interesting for the presentation and I'll prepare for SOL

	Anchoilla - I will shortly be closing your race as it is now set up and it needs to be archived. As for the homepage information, if you look back through the different entries, perhaps we can come up with a nice picture (from your files or a photo) and then write a little about the area/course where we will be sailing. It is not urgent for now but would be good to have it drafted and ready Your proposal already has all the information, so the piece perhaps needs only to be a few sentences taken from that? Once you have a draft I am obviously happy to help tidy it if you think that is needed.

	HI RC, I think we have the reace ready to be archived (thank you for giving me the opportunity to test it) Everything is all right. I'm sending you some pics. Perhaps they are good to give an idea how the island is. Here is a link to some Formentera's video, although there's not much sailing in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG2PITrH5pQ If you want, we may take some lines from the pdf I sent you in the beginning. But if you prefer it, tell me how long has to be the text and I write it talking about you think could be interesting. Attachments 01.Formentera_2.png (410.4 KB) 02._Formentera_1.JPG (2.3 MB)

	Hola Anchoilla - just looking ahead to the June calendar and the 24th is a Monday so.. are you OK if we start the race on the evening of Friday, 21st June?

	Hi RC, since the race is held in Europe, better it starts daylight. Then, a good chance should be saturday 22th, at 9 or 10 UTC. But if SOL thinks is better another date and hour, I accept it. Thanks

	Hope you are ready ... I will be putting your race on the homepage shortly! We are, as you will have seen, starting on Friday morning (21st June) for two reasons (1) there is another race starting on Sunday and I would like your race to get good focus, and (2) the forecast is currently quite light and folks in other timezones need a chance to complete it over their weekends too! I will now prepare something for the Homepage, linking to your introduction and artwork

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.
