	Would it be possible to get the Lake Geneva race opened a bit earlier. It would be interesting to get to know the new boat well in advance of the race My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I'm right.

	I see no need to open this race in its proposed format any earlier than scheduled.

	When is it scheduled to be opened for practice racing? My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I'm right.

	Karri I am writing here on behalf of the entire SOL Management Team . Here for you and all those who are eager to "fly" on the water with the new AC72 polar is the answer : Sol Marketing , with concurrence of the entire MT felt not appropriate to race on Lake Geneva at this particular time of the year . During last very few days a decision has been made : The AC72 polar test will indeed be raced , but it will be in the waters of Lisbon , and it will be TIMED race . The last bit is imo excellent news , as it will allow multiple runs and testing of the polar in different TWS and TWA . The race , that will NOT , repeat NOT be part of the Timed Races Championship , will most probably appear in home page sometimes tomorrow , and will start on the 27th at 1500Z . As now customary for Timed races it will remain open for about one week . Hope this responds to your query and clarifies the situation . My personal apologies for this chamge not to have been displayed in Calendar earlier on. Ciaooooooo Piero

	Piero, thanks for you and the whole management team for the info. I don't see the change of venue or race format a big issue, it's just as cool to get to race on the polar in Lisboa in a timed race My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I'm right.

	I've tried today the AC72 on he Lisboa race. Crazy polar, way too fast boat for sol. I think it would be nicer a fleet race to start with this mean machine. Foiling makes the boat really really strange. nacrr

	Ciao ! on one side I have same feelings as you have .... on the other side the advantage of being TIMED is that of being able to test the polar in different conditions and for as long as one week. I'd love to see a transat run with this missile in perhaps less than 2 days !! the next mean of transportation faster than this would be a Boeing 767-300 ER ! Ciaoooooooooooooooo Piero

	Viva Piero and nacrr, and all SOLers. Following some wishes I’m preparing a new race - an Ocean one, to be more precise - using this boat. I’ll prefer to classify her more like a symmetrical wing implanted in two foiling bananas, with just one purpose: the need for speed! Let’s find out her first in Lisboa! Sail Fair.

Kamchatsky to Tromsoe 2024

Just before the light failed entirely in Antarctica, Skip Novak managed to get his Pelagic 77 out of the ice and north up the Pacific to Kamchatsky. The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
