	Second Ouzo Practice Race 18:00 UTC Tue July 13. For the second race we will hold a rabbit start race (also known as a gate start). Shortly after new weather is posted (apx 17:35~17:50 hours) I will post the course in chat (English...sorry I'm not good at any other language). At near 18:00 I will leave the start buoy (Mark 1) on a starboard reach. 5 Minutes later I will turn back and reach back to the start mark on port tack (hopefully reaching the start mark at 18:10). At the mark I will haul in and go best VMG upwind still on port. At this point the race is on. All the boats in the race will start by crossing my stern. They will all be on starboard tack. I will maintain port tack till I reach lay line to the mark or to clear any obstruction. So if anyone sees any advantage in starting down the line they may do so. After I have tacked the start line is the line from Mark 1 to my tack point (because of the server delay in updating tracks this may appear to move for a couple of minutes). I will start the course to as close to straight upwind as possible. After that at least one reaching leg, and anything else I can throw in and keep it close to 1.5 ~ 2 hours. Oh yes: Rule 18-- (a) No sniveling. Rule 1 (1) (a)--Have fun. ------------------------------- RACE COURSE captjack1942 17:53: Mark 4 to Port (leave to left)Island @ 37.69 N/ 23.43 E to starboard (leave to right)Mark 5 to starboardFinish on point @37.762 N/ 23.417 E ------------------------------- captjack1942 19:26: NEW COURSE!!!!!

	This only confirms what I have suspected for some time now, the sol boat is faster than regular boats. I accept the role as proposed & will preside over the next rabbit start to be held in 1 week on the Chi-Mac course at the usual time. (7/20/2010, 18:00 utc) This will allow the race to be conducted during local daylight conditions. The course will be an AC style format, 3 upwind/downwind legs, the distance between the marks to be determined by the available wind to allow the event to be completed in the desired nominal time. --- Last Edited by Aethereal at 2010-07-13 23:51:48 --- None so blind Attachments Rabbit1.jpg (22.0 KB)

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.
