	Due to commitments I will not do the Hobart Sydney race-is it possible for me to still watch the race-I am a SYC member if that makes any difference.

	You can watch the race through google-earth. Click on "Races" here above and then click "Google-Earth". --- Last Edited by Jakob Kuttenkeuler at 2008-12-31 07:33:22 --- ...one of the guys behind the game...

	Normally, the KML file type is associated with Google Earth upon installation. If Windows doesn't know how to handle these files, that association got lost. Assuming you have Google Earth already installed, download & save a KML file. Next, locate the downloaded KML file with Windows Exlorer, right-click the file and then click "Open With". Select the Google Earth program in the selection window and select the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" check box, and then click OK. Restart Internet Explorer so it sees this system change. The next time you encounter a KML file with IE, it will check the Windows system settings and will automatically offer to open it with Google Earth. HTH, HAND.

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!
