2017-04-06 10:26:11 - Calling all Routing SOLers - Careka would like help
Hi all

Many of you know that SOLer Careka is sailing, with wife/family, in yacht Careka around the world. The group of yachts he is in company with are now seeking routing advice/help as follows:

QUOTE
Hey,all, we are a bunch of boats that will sail from St.Martin around 1may, and to Horta,Azores, does anyone like to send us weather, and where to sail, like a safe wr. Not trying to win a regatta 😂. And its nice to get a mail every day have some contact with the once on land. Only a mail with texst telling us what the wind will be like and the pos of the Lows and where they are moving. There will be boats from Norway,Danmark,Germany in the group. We will aim to sail fastes and safest route to Horta. Anyone like to help us, it is fun.
UNQUOTE

If you are one of our "routing SOLers" and feel you can help, then

(a) if you are on Facebook, please respond to Careka via the Sailonline Group post he has made there.

(b) if you are not on Facebook, please email me at joanne@sailonline.org with your email address so I can put you in touch with Careka.

Here is the blog of Lagoon 380 Careka

and here is the tracker that gives (hourly) current position Careka

Hope someone can help!

:-)

Viva Joanne and all.

Concerning careka'ss trip, I need to know Polars from all the boats in the fleet or, from the slowest one and the fastest.

Can you pls make the bridge as I don't have e-mail/s to contact our SOL brother Careka?

Need to know also some details about the geo coordinates for the boat fix the garmin tool from careka generates.

Viva All,

Concerning the Lagoon 380 I've managed to got a Polar file for the boat.
Tested in qT and works fine for routing.

Wind and Currents GRIBS setups also done.

Just need to know the already asked questions.

This is not a regatta, but a safe sailing to awoyd bad weather. There is no a Bavaria 47, 39, 40, Janneau 42, pogo, a 62oneoff, lagoon380.
But we will adjust the speed so we will sail like a groupe in the beginning,
We sailed with the 62 onoff on our way over and we did the go for speed the first 2 days, and we sailed nearly the same, if winds got low the 62 pulled away, but as soon as we had 15 knots or more we pulled away.
Do it today.

Welcome to Sailonline’s first partnership with the City of Livorno, in cooperation with the local yacht clubs and the Italian Navy, to offer you the online opportunity to race the Regata dell’Accademia Navale. 630nm in length, starting and finishing in Livorno, the race takes you the length and breadth of the Tyrrhenian Sea via Porto Cervo and Capri.

Transat à Deux 2025

Above you see a single-handed sailor semi-foiling his Beneteau Figaro III to the horizon. It is in fact Ireland’s Sailor of the Year and the overall winner of last year’s Solitaire du Figaro, Tom Dolan. Somehow, we got our hands on a polar for the Class, and rather than trying to surreptitiously track Tom and his mates in the 2025 edition of the Solitaire, sailing rather-short, single-handed legs across the Celtic Sea and Biscay, we thought we’d see how our virtual craft would fare on the Class’s double-handed 3900nm Trans-Atlantic, from somewhere in Brittanny to somewhere in the Caribbean via somewhere in the Canaries. Allez, mes braves!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

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 this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
