2008-11-01 21:45:58 - polars for the 5 boats of Augustimånen?
How would we choose between the 5 boats if they are just names too us? :)

Can we have the polars or at least a general description?

Thanks.

I cannot seem to locate the blog with the polar info for the 5 boats. Can you help a frog out?

is anyone's polar behaving "oddly". the prediction figures seem to be way off on mine and the indicator for speed is way out in the 18knt range yet my boat is only clocking 8knts. using J80

thanks

Ok si I looked at the polars, now what.
without picking a boat I can't look at the race course. Is it a light air race, upwind/downwind, reach ???
I can't see how to pick one boat. Any advice?

Try the new web-client. I think everything is ok there.

I'm sure it's no problem choosing a boat in the client, the problem is how can we know which boat is the best? It would depend on the wind when the race starts but we can't see the weather until we register. So... Catch 22?

But that is a part of the fun. Either wait and register/pick late or join early and hope for the best (as in real life) :-)

That all depends on that we would have any kind of weather forecast to base our decision on. Now the only official weather is in the client and that's not accessible before we choose boats.

Sure, we could use GRIB data but is that really the way to go?

Mistli's Birthday BBQ Race 2025


Welcome to one of Sailonline's great traditions - the ofttimes slightly untimely celebration of SOLer Mistli's birthday on November 1, by way of a tricky race through the Stockholm Archipelago. To match the day that’s in it, this year correctly, we are providing you with a fleet of sleek 11 metre 1-designs (get it?) to slice through these (at least) 61.5nm of SLI-infested waters, and give you a fair chance that there will still be some beer left by the time you moor up by the jetty at Trosa!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
