	Just looking at the race. I assume you cant go out of the pink area. Is it possible to enlarge it north? Many Thanks --- Last Edited by Kz at 2012-11-07 14:35:35 ---

	No, you cannot leave the pink area. The admin folk will review if the area needs to be extended. I think it may need to go further south.

	Hi Kz As Scot pointed out you can not sail beyond the pink boundries. They act the same as if you would hit land, boat gets pulled back one "jump" and will turn to twa=0. We will have a good look at the race bounds today. We are reluctant to enlarge south because of real world ice-gates. --- Last Edited by Jeroen Tiel at 2012-11-09 09:31:33 --- I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	Hi! I think it is unfortunate the the "notice of race" period is so short, for a big race like Global Challenge. I am not too much of an sailonline addict, I did not race much during last year. But during past months I did check website now and then if an ocean race was coming up. Then I was for travel for a week, busy with other things. Just to find later I was 4 days late for this start! What happened? (Look now at for exampel rumskib also.) Why not notice this type of race for a month at least? A large fleet I guess all want, no? Best regards! Mange

	Hi Magnus, I must admit this race was indeed on a very short notice. We did not plan to run this one but we responded to the overwhelming demand for this race. So in this case we where not able to give much prior notice. We understand that this can be frustrating. Looking ahead we are looking into more streamlined way to announce new races. We now use the blog and the race schedule but one of the things we are having a look at is a dedicated calendar for the main big races. You certainly have a good point here and something we already looking into. I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	PLEASE, it's time to schedule the start for the leg 2 !!! If we want to sail with the real boats, we must start next Tuesday 4th. And it'll be nice if we have 2 buoys : the first at 39°N - 46° E, the second at 40°N - 80°E. Thanks for all.

	Hi! I'm interested in knowing how long Leg 1 will be open to race in, and when Registering for Leg 2 will be closed. Here's the reason: I started about a week late - lets say a massive rig failure right at the start (really I just noticed the race underway and thought why not?) Now I'm catching up with the fleet- driving hard blah blah blah. So for role playing purposes I'd like to keep going and not skip up to the front with everyone else. I get, however, that the server is needed sooner than later. I just don't want to get shut out of leg 2 due to closing registration before I'm kicked off leg 1 due to needed server space... Thanks!

	Blue the Legs are separate events as far as the server is concerned. So just register for the next one now and start with the fleet or wait as you choose. Your boat will stay at the start until you choose to do otherwise. None so blind

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.

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.
