Posted by Ricos0 Posts 22 Registered at 2008-02-18 03:55:36	2008-06-20 01:03:47 - starting times?
	Jeroen / Jakob / Kalle: I know you guys can't keep everybody happy all the time, but the 3/4/5 am starts here on the USA west coast are killing me - especially when the finish is same wee hours. Please try to roll the start times around the world to keep us all happy rico Rico
Poll: Do you like the SOL start times lately? NO I always miss the start. WHEN DOES IT START? I can never tell. YES very good for me and my partner. NO sucks bigtime in western USA. MAYBE depends on if I am awake. Show Results (You won't be able to vote.) You need to be logged in to vote.

	Hi ricos! For most races we actually try to ask around what a suitable starting time should be. But for the 1000 mile the decision was made to follow the start times in the real race. But, we hear you and will reconsider =)

	We NZ sailors can also suffer from unfortunate start/finish times. Maybe the solution is to have more international races so that everyone gets start times that fit their time zones. races in Australasia/Pacific could be Sydney to Hobart (Aus) Round NI (NZ) (2 handed) 4 races around North Island www.sanz.co.nz Coastal Classic (Auckland to Bay of Islands) Cook Strait Classic (Wellington to Marlborough Sounds (Ships Cove etc) Nelson race (Wgtn to Nelson) Tasman Race (New Plymouth to Mooloolaba) NZ to Fiji race etc Roger VenerRace Apr 08 165

	No i dont mind. I'm allways late. Weekends would be better, but changing time per race is OK

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara

Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
