Posted by RainbowChaser Posts 2656 Registered at 2009-06-14 09:44:50	2013-05-15 09:01:45 - Fiji Ocean Race 2013 - Auckland to Musket Cove
	SOL has been invited by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS) to run a virtual version of this race which will be starting from Westhaven in Auckland on Saturday, 1 June (midnight on Friday 31 May, UTC-time). We need to choose a boat from SOL's Boathouse that will be competitive with the real fleet. Attached are the individual boat descriptions provided to SOL by RNZYS for the nine entrants. What boat do you suggest we sail and why? ______________ NB: The IRL fleet will be using Yellowbrick trackers and SOL will be bringing all entrants on to the race screen so a boat that is competitive (mindful of our lack of tides/currents) would be optimal! _______________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-05-15 09:51:42 --- Attachments Atom_Ant_Boat_Information.pdf (209.4 KB) Equilibrium_Boat_Information.pdf (218.6 KB) Outrageous_Fortune_Boat_Information.pdf (205.1 KB) Squealer_Boat_Information.pdf (208.8 KB) V5_Boat_Information.pdf (204.0 KB) Venture_Boat_Information.pdf (202.3 KB) Vision_Boat_Information.pdf (209.6 KB) Vodafone_Boat_Information.pdf (211.7 KB) Wild_Card_Boat_Information.pdf (204.3 KB)

	looking at the pics/descriptions I would say or the Otrageous Fortune, cause looks like a nice boat with a wonderful name, or the V5 that looks like an aggressive, fast boat andrea

	Boats are very different .. would First 44.7 PHRF number be like an average of fleet? Or if we want to compete Vodafone then need a faster boat. edit: that was Smo sailing sol boat in Åland .. wrong browser --- Last Edited by sol at 2013-05-15 10:16:59 --- --- Last Edited by sol at 2013-05-15 10:22:32 ---

	aner - I agree, but we need to pick a boat that is in the SOL Boathouse.... Smo - good point.. I think generally competitive as I don't believe we have something directly to match Vodaboat and... they are sort-of in a league of their own anyway? The bulk of the fleet arent' multihull and I think it would be more fun for us to tactically match the real fleet?

	To represent ourselves at an oceantrip an OPEN60 2010 would be nice. Although looking at the field I support the choise of Smo for the FIRST!! Anyway nice trip! regards SPLITPEN

	First 47.7 might be more average of fleet ... was looking wrong PHRF system maybe .. some racers might have more interesting polar though .. Santa Cruz 52 might be nice but maybe too fast as TP-52 .. though we don't know what kind of boats are coming .. might postpone boat choise for awhile or be ready to change it --- Last Edited by Smo Smo at 2013-05-15 12:26:09 ---

	Smo - what do you mean by "though we don't know what kind of boats are coming"? The real fleet are the boats whose descriptions are attached to my first post. The race is just over two weeks away so I think we can fairly rely on the SOL Boathouse remaining as it is for the purposes of our choice now.

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.

Cape Town to Auckland 2024

Welcome to the second leg of this Round The World series 2024. It's also the April edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is the same as the one sailed in 2023, but this year we sail the iconic Swan 65, as suggested in the concluding RTW race last year.
Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas. It's essential to take care of provisioning to ensure a smooth and enjoyable race experience. With the longer duration, we anticipate plenty of opportunities for camaraderie, competition, and unforgettable memories.
