	Windjunks! aka RemyBlom said @ 2009-11-11 09:51:15: I will try setting up a Google Calendar. Never worked with it before but it looks promising. Features are: I can give people the right to add/edit/etc events. All events are public. You can easily embed this calendar in any website. Or you can just import the calendar into your Office suite or iCal for Mac... -------------------- I was indeed thinking of something like that. I use a yahoo mailbox, which provides both a mailbox and a calendar, plus other things. Were you thinking of using a google mailbox, or another google application? Might be a good idea to combine calendar and mailbox at once ... In my idea, SOLers should be encouraged to send their race suggestions to this mailbox. Therefore, I would like to first get the green light from SOL administrators. We also need to think under what name we create the mailbox. Probably something like SailOnline.RaceCommittee Francois --- Last Edited by Incognito at 2009-11-11 10:11:45 --- --- Last Edited by Incognito at 2009-11-11 10:12:17 --- --- Last Edited by Incognito at 2009-11-11 10:15:55 ---

	I took a quick look at google mail and google calendar. Unlike Yahoo, mailbox and calendar seem to be separate applications. Perhaps that it is better so. I was already thinking that we might use more than one calendar: - One calendar for real races - One calendar for races suggested by SOLers - One calendar for races decided by Race Committee Francois

	Please let me know if you need any email lists etc setup, I could set up a sailonline.org google apps account.

	look here for calendar There seems to be a bug in the timezone. Trying to solve that. Other committee members that are interested in looking into the calendar from an admin point of view, pass me your email: remy at windjunks dot nl --- Last Edited by Windjunks! aka RemyBlom at 2009-11-11 11:36:44 --- my other boat is a kiteboard =)

All the members of the race committee should have access to this mailbox. Is that possible? I was also wondering what would happen if several members of the race committee try to access the mailbox at the same moment. What email address were you thinking of BTW? Francois

	Apart from the fact wheither we should have a seperate email(list), I think race requests are better gathered via a forum. This keeps them (and the discussion about it) more open for everybody to see and contribute. This would keep things within the userbase and will keep the SRC (sailonline race committee) more open, less secret... An emaillist which forwards all incoming mail at something like racecommittee@sailonline.org to all our private mailaccounts could be used for internal communication. But this could also be done in the forum. Advantages of using the forum instead of mail is the fact that all communication is preserved on the server. There is no need to maintain the mailinglist (less hassle for SOL-people) and again the open character of the SRC. Just my thoughts, but I think it is best to keep things as simple as possible. All we really need to operate as a SRC is a) Own category within the forum b) A Calendar app of some sort c) A lot of ideas for races... =) my other boat is a kiteboard =)

	I just discovered that Yahoo has a 'group' feature that could nicely meet our needs: http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/ There might be something similar in Google.

	I am happy to input/partake in a committee. Will the committee vote on stuff?. . or will a chairman make final decisions ?(in which case perhaps the chair should be unnamed to stop the poor guy/gal being hassled?

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
