	SOLer Sunrunner from Canada has designed a race for us, around the islands in the Gulf of St Lawrence - the biggest of which is Newfoundland. To see it,log in as the sol boat (Username: sol Password: sol) and go to this url: http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/360/ The race is pretty complete as it is, but please do post here if you see any technical or other issues with it. This link will remain valid for about a week, after this the race will be archived until it is run in June. --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-02-14 16:50:13 ---

	Only one request. A Swan is a very comfortable boat IRL, but maybe something with a bit more speed than less than 8 kts top speed. Now if we want a Swan, How about this one: http://www.nautorswan.com/swanlineproducts/tabid/295/SwanLine/80/boatId/27/boatVersionId/55/Default.aspx --- Last Edited by Jack Watson at 2011-02-14 19:27:43 ---

	Nice race, only some minor questions regarding the marks. - should the belle ile mark and the SE mark be on land or are they intentionally offshore? -with island markers in the middle of the island ranking will go up and down wilst passing these marks, if shifted to the outer point ,close to the courseline, the effect wil be less. It might save you a lot of questions/remarks about shifting rankings. Kees(Tempest)

	Agree with Tempest on both points. That might make it a bit cleaner. I also like the Swan80... do we have a polar for that? Should be a fun week race! Well done!

	Tempest - those two marks are deliberately offshore Thanks for checking! Captjack and ShamPir - at the moment we only have the polar for the Swan 36 which is why, I believe, Sunrunner chose it. Do you have a polar/polar diagram for a Swan 80?? If not, let us know and we will hunt one down!! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-02-15 14:45:34 ---

	Hi All, One other consideration... with the existing polar, at max wind speed and optimum boat speed/angle, the race will still take well over a week to complete. Would this be considered in the ocean series or the week series given times and distance?

	Several SOLers logged in as themselves rather than the SOL boat. These boats will now be de-activated and any further review of this course must be done as the sol boat. Simply login by using the following: usernamr: sol password: sol and use the link in my first post!! Thanks all for comments/ideas thus far!

	Does anyone have the polar or polar diagram for the Swan 80 please? If so, please shout out!! This race preview is now closed until the new polar is in place. --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-02-28 19:50:29 ---
