	It has been a while in the brewing but SOL's Raid on Lindisfarne race in Viking longships is nearly ready! Thanks to 76Trombones amazing production of a boat polar the wish of several SOLers to see what "SOLing" a viking longship might be like is very close to becoming a possibility!! For those interested, you need to log in as the sol boat: USERNAME: sol PASSWORD: sol and then use this url to load the race: http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/351 all comments, suggestions,tweaks and other ideas are very welcome as always!! ________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-06-12 12:49:20 ---

	The Lindisfarne point is 0.5 nm off the island. Is it intentional ?

	PYves - nopes not intentional at all. Thanks for the catch

	FR_captainchris just proposed the following date/schedule for the race (in the RNI Race Chat)... QUOTE R_captainchris 15:20: The attack (and destruction) on Lindisfarne was June 8th 793.... should the longshiprace start 3 days before? I suggest a "looting-ransacking" time of 2 hours at the lindisfarne buoy before allowing to return!!! UNQUOTE seems good to me ... any other views??

	It seems difficult to find the port(s) of departure for the raid on Lindisfarne, but an assumption of 3 days sounds reasonable. We did Bergen to Edinburgh (Leith) in 48 hours while wind was dying and motored in the Forth...

	Great to see this project coming along.(with thanks to 76T). I wonder if in the past there wasn't some competitive element in those voyages across the North Sea. Perhaps, on departure, someone shouted out "Last in to Lindisfarne is a sissy"

	For start port I always figured on strong and hearty Swedish Vikings and not those soft and lazy Danes, but what do I know? ;-D The polar seems to work as designed but still doesn't fit SOL client as at last check - squarerigger take II... subtle reminder to gods before this one goes live...

	A Swedish departure point would entail more than three days, IMO. PS Watch a handball game between Denmark and Sweden and you might reconsider

	76Trombones said @ 2011-02-22 02:00:45: For start port I always figured on strong and hearty Swedish Vikings and not those soft and lazy Danes, but what do I know? ;-D Current Swedish west coast was a Norwegian area all the way to Denmark. And the Swedes were mostly tucked away on the Swedish east coast --- Last Edited by NOR Jawik at 2011-02-22 09:14:19 ---

The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
