	An interesting idea would be to sail this race with 8mR boats, I think Finland has the biggest fleet of eights in the world and also Helsinki is hosting their Worlds this summer, so we might attract some finnish classic sailors that way. I think we could get the polars for a generic eight somewhere.

	I like the idea of sailing this race in 8mR in conjunction with their worlds.There has been a resurgence of interest in the class in AUS in recent years and I know of 2 boats from here going to the worlds. Polars should be easy to obtain, several well known designers are producing new designs. David Vieira of Portugal is considered the world authority on 8mRs, he designs, builds and restores them. “We may have arrived on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now!” Martin Luther King Jr.

	Have to think about route and think if there should be two races .. original idea was to have crash bbq race but dunno if it respects 8mR ..

	I am setting something up for this coming weekend (Turku to Helsinki), with Smo's blessing. Won't in any way interfere with what you guys are up to! =============== OK, its set up. To see it in all its glory you should wait for the next WX update at 1630 today (Monday, 25 Feb) but if you can manage without the full WX Zone then just log in as the sol boat: USERNAME: sol PASSWORD: sol and then click here If you think the course is too tricky or needs additional waypoints to make it more fun etc just add comments here (after discussing it in race chat no doubt!!) ______________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-02-25 12:56:08 ---

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
