	Yes... infinite drive space has really led to some bizarre habits! heh The fleet is mostly home. Could you send me another archive AGage? Thanks edit: or WhyNot! Sorry read too fast --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2011-06-17 12:46:17 ---

	Rod said @ 2011-06-14 13:53:45: Tom: I think that has to be covered by someone who can calculate the numbers. All I can do is estimate, which you can do yourself.... 1) You can hover the mouse over the polar in the client to get this information 2) There is a program available which can load SOL polars (even the IMSYC), display them and also give you exact speed info by holding mouse down over the polar I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Rod said @ 2011-06-14 16:20:45: What a bunch of un-observant, amateur puddle-splashers we are, to have not noticed the elementary fact that a boat cannot sail downwind faster than the wind speed. Aside from the fact the TWS is in m/s, 6 is not unique in that all columns show this 'feature' - if you look harder you will see all the faster boats have this similar profile (ie Katrinautic?). Why list TWS in m/s yet SOG in kn?? Well m/s is just as common a unit for TWS as kn is, yet SOG is always specified in kn - I agree it is confusing, but in this case it lets polars use nice round numbers, 2.0 is easier than 3.8868898 BUT, as all polars had the same TWSs, it is the curves that describe the performance profile that matter, not the raw numbers, so it doesn't make much difference here. Still, using tools to view/analyze the polar(s) makes like much easier - and besides, all the polar data was there for all to see/analyse well before the race - and what makes you think no-one noticed this 'anomalous' BS curve and just didn't post about it Anyway, these aren't intended to be real yachts... We could create whatever we want in a polar to use on SOL - realistic is nice but not necessary... I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Aaron, hunkering down below my desk - with my helmet on, I beg to differ. The contentious curve (TWS 7.8 kn) in uprisings polar has a a "bulge" between TWA 140 and TWA 180. The boatspeeds there are all the same 9.7 kn. I have never seen a polar like that, and I challenge any designer to design a boat, sailing faster than the wind - within the IMSYC rules - at TWA 180.

	And comparing with katrinautic. At twa 180 TWS 7.8 - the katrin does 5 kn. uprising does 10! I do not agree with tour statement that the "katrin has a similar bulge"! Still friends - I hope

	76: How do I send the grib files to you? Do you have a "junk e-mail addy - where you let ppl you don't know send you stuff.

	All of the boats are IMSYC-rule compliant by definition. The VPP won't run unless they are. This has nothing to do with whether a fast IMSYC boat would be fast IRL. The venue isn't Valencia - it's SOL. The boats that I "designed" would be dogs in real water, but they are fast within the rules. I mentioned in one of the first posts that this exercise is sort of mirror-image to designing real boats. Designing to "rule" you normally want a boat that rates slower that it really is. The downwind performance of Uprising is a glitch, but it makes no difference to us .

Kapiti Chetwodes Race 2024

For only the second time in SOL history, we have the pleasure of inviting you to the Kapiti Chetwodes Race, held in the Cook Strait region. Organised IRL by the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club from Wellington in New Zealand. The approximately 160nm long route, full of turning points, will take us from the bay at RPNYC around the islands of Somes, Kapiti and Chetwodes and back to the finish line at RPNYC. We have only a 26 ft Albin 79 yacht at our disposal. All this means that we will have a lot of fun, so fair winds!
