	Hi, I think I have a proposition for a totally virtual race. It could take place in the north of Quebec, on Manicouagan reservoir. Why here? For me, because it's a very particular place on our planet. It's the place where a huge meteor has fallen, perhaps the one which has caused the extinction of dinosaurs. Of course it's not really a famous sailing place, but why not? Perhaps it could take place during "l'été Indien", so at the end of septembre or in octobre. Later it could be a bit frozen.... So, it's just a proposal and I will not be hurted if it's not considered as a good one. I added a file with the polars of the Platu 25 as I have thought that it could be a good one for this race... --- Dernière modification par FR_cirrus le 2013-07-15 12:14:24 --- --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-10-25 10:27:02 --- Attachments Manicouagan_race_1.kmz (2.5 KB) platu_25.txt (1.3 KB)

	Hi RC, and thanks for everything..!! Now, I will try to find the time to try the race.... The trace seems to be good, but not so easy according to winds direction.
