	"Any reason the Week Championship is left out?" Because nobody suggested an appropriate badge yet and I used up the TdF ones. "1 suggestion - perhaps re-order them?" Nah they're all equal (and alphabetical) "Edit: I think you can surely include Service yourself 76T..." I figure some are by nomination --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2011-12-10 00:39:39 ---

	White Jersey for Week Champ #1?? Just seems like putting all the rank related together, same with like Arctic/Antarctic Circle, made sense - I saw they were alphabetical. Not so much about equality as there seem a few categories, rank related, nav related etc... What did you use to write it - I recently did an app (creates the podium pics), and writing the image to file was a 1-liner... (I think) I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Gentlemen... may I also suggest a link on the home page (either as a separate tab at the top or as a Section link below the Mobile Client section) titled Honour Badges? In this section would be the badge pic, description and the instruction as found in the Forum to apply to your profile. Again, very well done! SP

	Perhaps we need a specific method of attaching honours so that whenone's cursor is placed over the honour, the title of the award shows up. That way one could compare 76T's awards against AGage's without having to have to refer to a source table located elsewhere . . . . I'm sure is was in the "Manual Tab" . . . no wait it must be on the "RACES" tab . . . no perhaps the "Rankings" tab . . . Ah most likely under getting started" . . . no definately under "Links" then. See what I mean. If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	A couple of years ago, we practice raced in a hurricane off the southern USA coast and there was an "OVER 60 KNOTS" club with just a few mwmbers. Fo methat was great fun, most enjoyable to get the right angle of approach to the storm centre, the right TWA and all going well. THERE SURELY MUST BE AN AWARD for that e.g. a speed "60" sign as attached Could wlways add a "+" or ">". If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	Not sure of what the badge would be (maybe a coffee machine over an Italian flag?) - but we might need to add another 'Order'.... Those who have beaten WINSTON_4 in a race!

	2 Oceans rounding Cape of Good Hope from Atlantic Ocean into Indian Ocean or vica versa... light blue background with sub-continent of Africa upon it... I'll claim that as a first I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	Vince - look back in the Thread, 76T posed a small app, all you need to do is point it to the pic you are using now here on the forum, and select the badges from a list, and it will output a NEW image combining them all (like 76Ts and mine)...

	I would quite like to see this fun concept reinvigorated.... I never did award myself any badges but maybe I shall start hehe

	Perhaps we need the "badges" posted on the ocean in a similar way to "ice gates" so that as we sail around, we can pass over a given badge and collect that one, which is then added to one's profile. If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
