2014-05-08 16:54:39 - New TR and new SOL boat.
Viva SOLers.

With my friend Jan/bonknhoot we are preparing a new Timed Race to be sailed with a new SOL boat.

Yes, a new boat.

The new boat Polar Data is in the “crunch machine”, and, for the moment, all I can say it’s a boat that all SOLers dream about.

Not only the race field but, especially the boat - if the SOL committee will be kind to accept her - will bring new and hot adrenaline for everybody.

We’ll be back as soon as the boat is on the "lifting crane".

Be well.
Sail Fair.

A2R, I think the diagram shows twa=[0,180] in a [0,360] graph.

Good morning all.

Yes, Kroppy is correct.

The Wind data is being worked on the TWA range (0; 180) degrees and the resulting graph has the TWA = 180º on the position that’s normally used by the 360º.
With that graph disposition you have more space to distribute the curves and it’s also easier to inspect the odd points.

Dear JB,

Is this based on a real life boat, or a boat that exists only on paper?

I am just curious.
Thanks,
Antonio

Viva António.

Este barco é bem real e, em algum momento, também passou pelo papel de alguém.
Esta semana, o novo barco vai ser divulgado.

Abraço de
João


Viva Antonio.

This boat is very real and, at some point, also passed by the paper of someone.
This week, the new boat will be disclosed.

2014-05-19 19:31:17 - Re: New TR and new SOL boat.
Wonderful! I was hoping there would be an AC72 polar available on sol, and I know other did too :)

I have two notes (for now ;)):
- The number you give contain negative speeds for tws=40kts, is that intentional?
- As of now, it's not possible to have different performance rules for different boats. Click here for details (especially the last couple of pages of that thread). As a result of this, the AC72 will be bound to use the same performance model as every other boat. This means gigantic performance losses due to the gigantic speeds of the "boat" (never really thought the AC72 could be called a boat :)) I (personally) hope that there will we a performance model in which one of two boat-specific parameters can be set for every boat.

Here is a picture of the polar:

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
