Posted by newsartist Posts 41 Registered at 2009-08-20 03:01:55	2010-03-20 14:14:41 - KEY LIME Practice Match Racing
	Post annotated by RainbowChaser : This thread was moved from the category Races. We have a new chart with lots of islands, but little time.... For discussion, and NOT FINAL! I suggest a first race from the Key Lime Start location to Marathon Key. (24.720n 81.070w) That is a big target for beaching at night, and provides many short courses for Sunday Monday racing from there. Provisional start time today 1800z ??? Please post thoughts here, or on an active chat where you see the usual suspects.

	OR... just up to Sanibel Island (26.442 / 82.030) ... a distance of 30nm. Current forecast winds are 6-7kts from 130d, so this would be doable in roughly 4hrs or so.

	Or around island group at 81.69 25.87 then beach island NE start 81.75 25.98 would be maybe 20nm and very diverse..

	My suggestion is the following - due to the possible late arrival of some matchracers at today's start at Marathon Key (24.72 / 81.07) - why not a short run round a couple of the Keys and then back "home". Start: 1800utc From: Marathon Key (24.72 / 81.07 ) To and round: island at 24.67 / 81.26 To and round: island at 24.82 / 80.82 Finish: Marathon Key start point. Distance - v roughly 70nm I think this takes account of the varying wind? What do you think please!!

	Suggestion for a Monday race? 1800z Start??? (or 1700?) -Start at Marathon location (as today's Finish) -Round Cay ~20mi/9.3 degrees from start -Round island at 24.88n 80.69w -Return to start. This is an ~60 nm course with good forecast wind angles on all legs.

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.
