2015-03-01 15:03:31 - San Sebastian-La Rochelle
The Calendar & Race description states that this race is 323nm however the the course as it stands now is much shorter, only 171nm.

Curious considering we have to wait 5 days & then start 2 races only 3 hours apart, n'est pas ?

Curiouser and curiouser. The polar dataset displayed on brainaid goes no further than 20kn TWS, yet the graphic below it goes all the way to 35kn, whilst the downloadable 'detailed data as csv' again cuts off at 20kn (well 11 m/s). Variation up to 35kn as per the graphic would be nicer. Which is it going to be?
Also the SOL announcement speaks of a Delphia 47, but BrainAid heads the graphic Delphia 57. Given that max BS is around 9kn, I think that that in any event is wrong. It is a 47 footer, n'est-ce-pas encore?

A2, Thank you. The description is updated to 171nm now.

Jan, the Delphia 47 polar indeed contains a typo, it says "Delphia 57". This is only the case in this file (everywhere else the polar is named correctly): http://sailonline.org/site_media/vpp/Delphia_47.txt
Brainaid shows this file (among other data), so the incorrect name shows.
I've asked for the typo to be corrected. *EDIT: it is now corrected*

I don't see a graphic (on sol or on brainaid) that has detail above 11m/s.

Hoi, Huib, hasty of me. Of course, all the lines above 20kn are under the blue 35kn line in the graph.

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
