	Post annotated by Incognito : This thread was moved from the category Races. We should get time for one good match race before the Start of the Grey Whale race. All are welcome to take part! This will begin near Guerrero Negro, at a time to be determined, (Thursday?) Proceed to 28.1n 114.2w. Folks may want to have private mini-races to that location? A good part-way destination is the island at 26.7n 113.2w. I will start for that island at 2400z if anyone wants to play. Then, tomorrow to Guerrero Negro.

	news - I liked your suggestion in chat to make the run to Guerrero Negro in two parts: But FIRST you need to get to the location for the matchracing at 28.1n 114.2w. The proposal from newsartist (and agreed) thus far is to make this journey in two legs: 1. go from the Start to the island at 26.7n 113.2w(San Ignacio). 2. Then go on 28.1n 114.2w (?Guerrero Negro). Gives a chance for people to join up to cruise to the matchrace start together!

	ALL ARE INVITED There will be an informal casual practice matchrace on Thurday, 11 March for anyone who wants to join in. Time: 1800utc Start: Beach at 28.03N 114.19W where RC and gang are waiting. Route: North to the "flat" point at 29.11N 114.71W - beach boat to finish, there will be BBQ later Suggested race for later is SW to the islands and back to today's start. Good reaching practice! If you can't make today's start, you could always meet the fleet on the Northern beach. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2010-03-11 14:34:28 ---

	Thursday Match Race Results p.1 Smo 0207 * tie for First* p.1 Tazumaki 0207 p.3 76Trombones 0208 p.4 Stoertebaker 0209 scored at line extension, sailed into bay p.5 RainbowChaser p.6 newsartist It was an 'interesting' Finish. Smo led Taz by a tiny margin nearing the line, but the updates were out of phase and Tazumaki 'flipped' first. Call it a tie for First and Second. With 76Trombones right there for Third. Complicating things, darkness fell five minutes before the Finish. RainbowChaser was 11.0nm out, and the touring newsartist was 52.7 away. (Bacchus is 36nm out and appears to be joining us.) --- Last Edited by newsartist at 2010-03-12 02:43:16 ---

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

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 is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
