	Hi folks Its nearly time for the first of this year's trio of B&G/SSANZ Simrad races. In 2010 SOL sailed a Young 88, in 2011 we sailed a Young 11(mod). We now need to choose ourselves a competitive boat from SOL's BOATHOUSE Here is the Simrad Seriescurrent entry list- we need to pick something that will be reasonably competitive!! _______________

	Which division are we following? They have different courses.

	Longhaul. Which reminds me I need to setup the courses now we have hi-res mapping for NZ (in previous years I have had to reuse an old NZ map but not any longer!). Thanks!! Not sure which SOLers are sailing IRL this time but WairuaExpress, PaulR and yachtyakka often participate (shorthaul/longhaul). --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-06-27 22:22:39 ---

	Yes indeed sailing on Panacea a Stewart 34 in the Short Haul division. All boats are 2 handed. On crew.org.nz I also run results for the "OLD FARTS" competition. I add the ages of the two crew members + four times the age of the yacht and from the average ages, make an adjusting OLD FARTS factor that is then applied to the TCF result and then adjusted for the 3 different race lengths over all who enter on crew.org.nz. See Page 10 for 2011 Results The aim is to see if young brash people who hoist spinnakers and do massive wipeouts, broaches etc are better than the older sailors who are more considerate of their advancing years and practice seamanship. There is also a "His & Hers" division and last year one "Hers & Hers" yacht. Another prize was for the greatest fantastic, frightening, fabulous or just f*%#ing muckup!! At stake for 1st places in individual races and overall results were TWO bottles of Mt Gay Silver Rum with TWO bottles of Mt Gay Eclipse Rum for 2nds & 3rds, and a certificate per boat. Can't have skippers drinking alone can we????? All rum was gratefully recieved!!!!!!! I even one one bottle myself!! This year I plan to have: a certificate for each crew member as well as more rum . . . hic _____________ edited to make url a link to prevent column overlap --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-06-28 07:50:03 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	I suggest young 11 for the longhaul. The other boats mentioned do shorthaul courses. I don't think I'll be doing the race IRL this year.

	Thanks guys! Paul love the "old farts" factor... not sure we can do that virtually plus, of course, we don't have the rum!! Scotsman - sorry you can't race IRL this year but hopefully our interactivity with SSANZ will make the SOL version a reasonable (virtual) alternative Young 11 t'will be again! ______________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-07-03 11:34:12 ---

The Beagle in Mauritius 2024

And west, forever following the sun, the Beagle went once more to next explore Australia, but since online we already regularly race the length and breadth of that wee dinkum continent’s coasts, we will delay launching our Tall Ship Class B until the Beagle reaches Mauritius, which she did on 29 April 1836. Darwin explored the island and its coral reefs extensively. We’ll better that by sailing some 450nm to Reunion and back, for a better appreciation of this remote archipelago, inhabited mostly by descendants of French and English colonists and Indian convicts and political prisoners.
