	Leg #2 of the RTW race got underway today on schedule. 391 boats went their separate ways. I logged the start in a blog that allows me to intermix text and images. Here is a link to that post: http://sailing.reddolphin.com/2014/03/03/rtw-race-leg2----the-start.aspx

	Hi Jawz, email sent mate. Hirilonde, no. Icegates were not in place in the Whitbread races... Made for some hair-raising sailing... especially at night I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	javakeda - so sorry to hear you were crook for a lot of this leg.. your blog had the makings of an excellent resource. Will you be updating it at all? I'll be linking to the first post (about the start) in the Podium blogpost presently .. would be v cool to have an overview of the leg in its entirety and, thus far, no-one has done one!!

	I wonder why the registration for the next leg is left so late? Some of us have to go about our business early tomorrow morning for a few days in Africa, with no/little signal - so, in my case can't even set any course for the start - why? Thanks

	This is my favorite time in an Ocean race. It's all about weather forecasting. Later, when the forecasts are 'in' for each skipper, it will be more about routing and execution of that route. But right now, it's about where the major systems will be [and when] in the next two weeks ... from Auckland to The Horn. After The Horn is a second race ... probably 5-7 days ... again with a weather forecasting element to it ... but more a routing exercise. Looks like the fleet will clear the East Cape of NZL in perhaps less than a day after the start. Then, it's "Katie bar the door!"

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.
