Posted by 76Trombones Posts 362 Registered at 2009-08-03 18:04:56	2009-12-29 21:40:08 - Boat choice poll for Boston-Newport race.
	Post annotated by Incognito : This thread was moved from the category General Discussion. A timed race from Boston to Newport is being considered for the slot following Hobart-Sydney. This poll is to decide what boat to race, and whether to offer the option of more than one boat type. Sailors can change boats when they start a new run. Estimated duration of a run is 6-12hours and the race will be open for one week. Please respond with your choice of the 4 options below: 60' Trimaran VO70 Orange All three The poll will CLOSE with the starting gun for the Hobart-Sydney race. The checkbox for each option is the one "above" it. The fifth choice (show results) lets you trade your vote for a peek at the outcome. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2009-12-29 21:45:34 --- --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2009-12-29 21:52:17 --- --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2009-12-29 22:25:28 ---

	My vote wasn't counted. Easy to control because nobody's vote was counted Btw, I want all three.

	The poll layout is deceptive. The bottom checkbox is to trade your vote for a peek at results... SOLer's word is good enough for me on this sort of thing. If anyone gets tripped up just post here.

	If we go for the 3 boats, we have also to have a ranking of the 3 different classes. Otherwise, it isn't fair. The polars of the 3 boats are not matching with eachother, so the outcome will also be not comparable... Not everybody has the time to sail with the 3 boats in the best conditions in the one week we get. "Sailing is an Art"

	I only agree for the 3 boats if we have separate rankings for each boat. Not everybody has the time to race with all 3 boats in ideal weather during the week the race is open! If not, we have the same discussion as we have already for months: sailing with the help of extra software, compared with normal brain use... The first part will be able to do the race with the 3 boats with extra help, and the others will have no change at all. "Sailing is an Art"

	Couldn't agree more Cajun Queen. I'll be sitting this one out. My worry is that such races (timed races) are becoming too lengthy and too frequent. The odd one here and there is fine, but if that is at the expense of conventional races then I can see my enthusiasm for SOL taking a dive. Call me an old fuddy duddy, even "obnoxious" as one who shall remain nameless did on my expressing these sentiments, if you like. Nevertheless I think the time to speak up has come, and I hope others like-minded will do the same and halt what I, rightly or wrongly, perceive to be an irritating trend.

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025

Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
