Posted by PerEric Horn Posts 37 Registered at 2008-04-19 09:36:58	2010-02-07 06:45:49 - Pics
	Hi! How do I add a photo in the label which pops upp when I tick on a pushpin, start dot, course line, etc.? Race four (150Nm) is now ready to launch. But I check, recheck and check again (very insecure), who check that I have done everything correct? Any e-mail address? In some cases is it impossible for me to follow your guide lines. 1. Position start and finish of longer races clear of immediate obstacles, as many players might want to use delayed commands. Either you race or not. What say´s that some don´t need DC´s in the middle of the race? No, this is NOT a good idea! 2. Fine-tune the Latitude and the Longitude. Almost impossible as my courses so far are located in very narrow waters. Fine tuning put the lines and pushpins on the "high way". 3. The finish line should be approximately perpendicular to the line between the last waypoint and the finish. This is just for lazy/late skippers who want to use DC and CC over the line. I think we should try to minimize the numbers of pushpins if possible instead. 4. The length of the finish line should be... Physical impossible in some of my races as the waters are too narrow. PS. I don´t want to flash all my mistakes on the Forum. I´m ready to share my courses via the Forum when I know I have done them properly. TheHorn

	IMHO the Caribbean Sprint can and should be re-run many times with preference starting early Fridays. That is a perfect race for a long snowy weekend. What a great race that is. Cheers, Antonio

	I also prefer archipelago races and Caribbean Sprint is one of them. If you like or prefer fairly short archipelago races, you should know that I have sent Inco four (4) races which I hope will be launched during the upcoming spring 2010.

	Ladys and Gents, What is the next race? I had family issues during the weekend and could not race the "Mini800NM part 2" and the "Figaro Transat" is too much for me to chew. So, I am sitting on the dock bored and longing for a race. Please any race, but a long long one. Thanks all, Antonio

	To Crew/Inco! It´s OK for you to launch my proposed races if you like them. Starting with The Classic on the 22nd of May at 12 UTC. TheHorn

Haida Gwaii 2024

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.
