	I'm in. I never knew how to use routing software and didn't have time to play with it! Maybe that's why I s*&k in these long distance races!

	I think the DC can be tricky, especially with wind shifts and speed. I usually just try to do one leg at a time and hopefully come back in time to check it, before I get grounded or way off course. Simple equation: RT=D Rate Time = Distance St. Lucie - Jupiter Ocean Racing Association (SJORA)

	Hey, this was different. Typo at start - went 278 (not 268) to position 580+. Not one single peek until 170 nm from finish. Terrible at first, but all and all great feeling. Fin pos. #61 Might try it for leg 3 also - with peeks maybe...

	It was a great experience. Although my ranking on this one went out the window on the first two days...I've never been one to blindly follow the herd, but I must say that no contact with the fleet is a severe handicap. In sailing there is tactics (positioning your boat with respect to others) and strategy (overall game plan, weather routing, etc.) Without any contact with the fleet you really cannot fine tune your game plan, you just have to hope for the best, and since we are sailing OD (one design) and the caliber of the competition is so good you just can't make a big mistake because the odds of a comeback are not too good. I'll be sailing in the Corinthian Class on Leg 3 just not in the "Hardcore Division"...sorry Mull! I will be taking peeks for 15 minutes at every update. Congrats to Señor Svein winner of the Hardcore Division!! Me quito el sombrero!

	Muchas gracias caballero Exmer. I believe I'll be peeking in leg 3, which looks like it could become a drag race. There is a locomotive coming headed N of West. I'll try get on the back of it. Good winds to all Corinthians.

	Oh heck - have some boats finished already ) I'm doing leg 3 blind as well - not seen another boat in weeks. last time I was handicapped by access issues, work issues, and memory issues, and my excuse this time will be this lack of work issues and generally being useless. Can we leave leg 2 open for a little while longer? Like March?

	I would be in favour of Corinthian class if it was just 'no routing software' and "no team racing'----but I don't agree with 'no knowledge of rest of fleet'. This was always available by radio, as was the weather. It would certainly be more 'old style' if you only had 'your own weather' If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Rod, there is no Rule claiming not to follow the Fleeet for the whole Race. I think, quite a lot, maybe most of us have a peek on the others a few times a day, simulating the oldschool Radio-Call-Ins once or twice a Day for security reasons, as it has been done in the Whitbreads.

	FOR ALL CORINTHIAN SOLers: I wrote a small web proxy in Java to allow you guys to define a 'line of sight' radius and filter out all boats outside that distance, but am having slight technical difficulty with it in the official SOL client, however in implementing my little tool set and showing races within Google Maps (later GE also hopefully), will allow for selective filtering such as this. Not quite ready for public release yet, but hopefully not long 2 pics cross-posted here, from the NZL race, but check the main thread for more info. (Note: visually it has improved somewhat since these SSs taken) Edit: Corinthian Mode Proxy is now functioning properly: Simple usage, just point your browser to the proxy and run it! It defaults to listen on port 8000 and filter out boats outside of a 10Nm radius from your own position, but can be configured. Only commandline atm, but will put on a GUI if people want that. Also for firefox users, there is an addon called FoxyProxy which allows for url patterns to be sent to a proxy only, which is recommended.

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.
