	In addition to zero's comments: brainaid's static polar list is now pretty incomplete as he's moved to the "toolbox" that presents the data much more nicely but is only accessible "live". Multi-boat-type races are possible, but seem to lead to more friction that usual... SOL is very realistic in this respect! I'd love to see some of the classic mixed-fleet races run. 86 other boats signed up for the Sydney-Hobart even though everyone knew that Wild Oats was going to win... There's no official capacity to handicap races, but we can/have posted unofficial results before. For last year's IMSYC I ran ORC-style handicapping. For a shorter race we could post "routed" corrections based on the actual weather. Handicapping the IMSYC Challenge Start a new thread for your race, and let us know what boats you are interested in. Lots of people happy to assist! [Edited so url did not force post to be too wide] --- Last Edited by aaronadmin at 2012-02-13 06:35:43 --- Attachments Longship.jpg (36.1 KB)

	Thanks 76T, I am very used to the "mixed fleet" concept having spent most of my younger racing life on the Chesapeake and there would be quite the variety. I don't know enough about the polars to be able to tell if you could predict advantage of one choice over another for a particular race. At this point, it seems prudent to just stick with a "typical" single choice for a given race. That said, I have really gotten into the race design stuff and already have 5 in the list (not finished yet but definite concepts). So here is another question. Can SOL replicate anything I can see on Google Earth? I am specifically thinking of a canal. I scrolled over to the area I am interested in within an active SOL race but did not see the water feature. Is more detail available for the "race graphic" once the SOL Gods look at the proposal? I don't want to waste their time if that is not the case. Thanks again for the tips. This is definitely brightening a cold, rather dismal winter for me!

	Where can I see the diagram for the Tall ships class C ?

	The best way to see which water features are displayed/displayable on SOL is to move around the globe and use the Max Zoom function from within an already-open race. There are limits as to what can be displayed but the detail of the Great Lakes area is pretty decent - not sure about canals though! We can set up a set "view" probably as we will be running the Chi-Mac this year (hopefully maybe even as buddies with the Chicago YC) so it can be set up ahead of time. As for Tall Ship polars, here is one image of all five together Hope this helps. _____________

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.
