2009-03-29 23:40:08 - BOAT TYPES & DETAILS
Can there be a section / page with details of the boats we are racing.

Ideally a pretty picture(s) but with good profile and layout drawings, dimensions, designer, builders, racing history summary.

Perhaps "good" features and those where developement and design have continued on from.

Links to more detailed sites would be better than editing down details & easier for all.

Perhaps one page per boat?

Nice idea. Considering the work load I can only come up with polars for the boats and if users have additional info about the boats it would be nice to link in some way, yes.

Good idea, starting with the x-332 from thy Cyclades volcano r run.
It's not any longer in production but you can see a used one here:

Perfect.

Now just put a photo with that link or ask that website if you can copy thie page. They may even email the original to you.

Ask other bi-lingual sailors to translate for you. email the original text in WORD.DOC or PDF format; make another page in the "new" language and paste the translation.

Give credit (and blame?) to the SOL translating sailor.

PS. Confusious said that "pictures speak a thousand words" and don't need translation more than 100 years or 1,000+ years ago!

Jacob perhaps all you need now is to add the SOL Polar chart and perhaps Brainaid's 3D polar diagrams.

So X-332 is all sorted.

The Volvo site should have some pretty promotional photos for their 70 footers.

Having an incorrect polar, or not exactly correct polar does NOT matter that much. Just add a comment e.g. For SOL use only.

Now "Next boat" please.

Thanks

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
