	A long time ago there was a sort-of convention established with respect to week races that are not buddied or mirroring real ones, namely that they start at the UTC equivalent of 1800/1900 LOCAL so that those in that region/country are able to start their local race in their evening. I think it might be the decent thing to do to keep to this here? Aaron's family are aware of our plans so, who knows, may participate in the series in some way --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-07-24 17:46:13 ---

	That would be a rare honour indeed... I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

Thanks WW, but it becomes intuitive after 46 years sailing around this part of the world --- Last Edited by Tyger at 2012-07-29 17:38:27 --- “We may have arrived on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now!” Martin Luther King Jr.

	Tyger - do you have the start/finish coords for the races yet? We don't have to go the full GoogleEarth creation route, providing we have start/finish/waypoint coords and in this case an explanation of what each leg represents (that's pretty much already done in this thread). What would also be useful is a note of the bounds for each race. The racing zone is a box with min/max lats/lons and it would be good to know how big the boxes should be for each race. At present we have only a couple of weathersystems for Australian races, so once we have the individual legs here, I can see what else needs to be set up. If it would help to have a quick Skype session to run through this, then just holler! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-07-28 11:58:17 ---

	RC - Been a bit under the weather with the flu (winter here) and sinuses have been running like a tap. Clearing up now. I plan to finish off Leg1, Adelaide to Melbourne details tomorrow (Sunday) and will included bounding box co-ords. Details of the other legs will follow quickly. I used Skype in the early days when sound quality was poor. Because I make lots of international calls, the telco package I have now includes calls to UK & USA at 2 cents per minute ($0.02) - dirt cheap & high quality. If you email your phone number, I'll call so we can co-ordinate race details. “We may have arrived on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now!” Martin Luther King Jr.

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.
