	WhyNot said @ 2011-06-17 16:07:16: 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. Hi WN - email is listed in my profile, just change _at_ to @. Thanks!

	OK, I'll send them to you. But I disagree with your statement that it makes no diff to us. And now I'm getteing real petty and whiny. It makes a diff overall ranking wise and its the overall position that is used in SOLs ranking. Speaking purely for my self - dont think anybody else is as whiny as I am - I know that several uprisings passed me on the final leg. Them TWA 180 and my gybing at VMG. I sat there scratching my head and fired up Navmonpc (and I know it is not acurate) but Whoaa!! How dey do dat??? Some may have noticed that I'm a really competetive kinda guy

	Tom, i don't mind you beeing competitive. But you should also have been competitive before the race when comparing polars. It was as obvious then as it is now that uprising had that polarbend at certain windspeeds. For reasons known to you you choose i believe the Katrinautic as you thought that was the best boat. Complaining in hindsight is always a bit easy . I wonder if we would have had this same discussion as katrinautic had won?

	To A Gage: I didn't notice the discrepancy, and I went over those polar diagrams in non-mathematical detail---and nobody else mentioned them in the chat. I chose 'uprising' on the basis of better up and down-wind performance at all wind speeds, and fastest speed on a reach----but I didn't spot the "Faster-than-the-wind at 180" at all. I hope that the designer receives all due credit for his effort----and wonder how his work compares with that of other professionally designed boats--- I wonder if some of these designs etc could be made available to SOLers---just for interest's sake. The race is over and I'm reasonably happy--except for an unfortunate course-HOOK, due to a middle of the night wind change.But that was my fault!!! --- Last Edited by Rod at 2011-06-17 17:15:30 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Tempest: I was competetive in my selection. I decided that all the "realy fast guys" would choose uprising, so I figgered i'd be better off in the "second best" boat. I'm also a sucker for a pretty face Anyhoo, as history will show - it worked. The real issue here is the "absolute denial" and wierd explanations after the fact. All boats have bulges in their polars. The keel dipping lower in water giving greater speed at that windspeed. Boats can sail faster than the wind at TWA 180. Its not uncommon that boats can be designed to sail faster at a specific windspeed and direction. One polar is in m/s but the one useg in the race is in knots. I could go on. Its just a game, so somebody could have said: Oopss - we really screwed up here. And that would have been it. End of discussion. Tom

	And Tempest. We would have had the same ddiscussion if katrin had had the same bulge. As I said: "I'm a real competetive guy" and I would have pointed it out myself.

	Here are the ratings based on WhyNot's archived weather added to mine. There are still a few gaps, but should be much closer than the ones based on the pre-race forecast: imsyc_uprising 1.000 imsyc_katrinautic2011 1.061 imsyc_falcon 1.080 imsyc_nyd66 1.091 imsyc_Raspberry 1.094 imsyc_JBSD66 1.135 imsyc_scandinavia 1.136 imsyc_j 1.149 imsyc_mano 1.167 imsyc_lb66 1.189 imsyc_pjtr 1.199 Corrected time ranking attached for all boats currently finished. Congrats to all concerned! The ranking is still top heavy with Uprisings and Katrins, but most of the "usually" fast crowd chose those boats. I'll do a final calc if anyone can fill in the missing gribs. Attachments IMSYC2011tot.xls (48.0 KB)

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.

Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas. It's essential to take care of provisioning to ensure a smooth and enjoyable race experience. With the longer duration, we anticipate plenty of opportunities for camaraderie, competition, and unforgettable memories.
