	Can we actually do a race next leg without dividing the fleet in to two groups? A start start with 900+ boats at the same time will be really cluttered.

	I thought we ALL started at the same time. What happened this time was lots of "new" sailors joined after the start and the different weather and the many "new" late starters self divided the fleet into 2 divisions. However, SYC members vs NON-members is possible idea? Northern Hemisphere vs Southern Hemisphere, but this will stop all the KIWIS beating the Rest of the World. Real Life sailors vs Arm chair sailors Coloured boats in seperate divisions, but "MY" bright Pink boat will ave no competition!! (can't have any racial overtones here can we?) Veterns of 5+ races vs New sailors Good sailors vs Bad sailors is a very hard call to get right So only solution is "ONE MASSED" start. We can''t have "new" starters join at the front of the fleet can we??? Get real. Take a concrete pill, practice in this race even, if you are last, and start on time in the next race! RTFM!! Real racing is about winners! So expect to fall 400+ places if you get things wrong, like I have in the Doldrums, but I'm trying to improve now.

	Hi Wow, I personally like the ideas big time. Challenges between continents, countries, etc would be fantastic! Maybe if we ask Wiz kindly he could extend his ranking... ...one of the guys behind the game...

	Jakob: I think your getting over excited and are starting to "stutter" again. Do you need a concrete pill too? LOL (8^))))))))) (If you delete your stutters, you can delete this post as well!! Cheers) If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	I see the pso6ts here show real names, not boat names. look for NZL_PaulR currently languishing at a lowly P#494 If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

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.
