	Post annotated by RainbowChaser : This post was moved from the category Race proposals in the hope someone will respond to it! Hi all As you probably know, there is a group of SOLers about to campaign a Moody 38s for this year's Fastnet race. Read here about the SOL Fastnet Campaign. SOL doesn't have a polar for a Moody 38s and Jubilant's skipper, ybw-mjm has said this on Facebook: QUOTE There is a Beneteau Ocean 390 polar that is easy to find on the web and looks similar to what we could obtain.. Perhaps that could be used for Sol for now.. or another easy to find one is a Moody 41 classic. That could be used with perhaps a 10% speed reduction overall. UNQUOTE Can anyone provide a polar for either of these OR, if not, can someone suggest which of the boats already in the SOL Boathouse will give a fair approximation of performance?

	Jubilant's IRC is .926. Closest SOL boat would appear to be J/30 at .925. until we get some more data... I think standard J/30 has a symmetric. Jubilant has a big Assy and a small Symmetric. suspect J/30 may be better hard up/down wind and Jubilant may be better a bit freer --- Last Edited by Colin Hammond at 2013-04-12 19:43:31 ---

	JuJu - thank you very much for posting that. Obviously if we get the proper polar then we will use that but, otherwise, we now are ready to race!

	OK... let's hope 76T or someone can help with this. ybw_mjm - I have the Beneteau polar pdf downloaded from Facebook and am attaching it here. Attachments Beneteau_Ocean_390_Polar.pdf (277.5 KB)

	swan 36 polar might be suitable

	yes, we just worked that out. IRC is 0.915 so a little bit slower but probably a better match than the J30 in terms of shape.

	Two options based mostly on the Oceanis 390 (I had several to choose from - this one is a very close match on handicap to Jubilant's .925 IRC) The curves under 20 kts should be the same... guesswork above: option A is with Spin while B is sailing more conservatively under main and jib only. Input welcome! --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2013-04-23 23:09:59 --- Attachments Jubilant.txt (1.6 KB) Jubilant_b.txt (1.6 KB)

	Thanks 76! My gut feeling is that the B may reflect more how we will sail for the first couple of races - conservatively until we get used to the boat and each other. By the way, we have a closed Facebook group where I have posted these and pictures from Polar Explorer. If you are on FB, I could add you to that group

	76T - you truly are SOL's Polar Guru and superstar. Thank you very much for making the time to prepare the polars. So people, please decide which one should be readied to be used in SOL!

CA 500 2024

In 2019, the organisers of the California Race Week introduced a new longer distance event for the world’s very largest maxi trimarans in town that year intent on setting new records for the TransPac Ocean Race on its 50th anniversary. This CA 500, 500nm from San Francisco to San Diego, was repeated in 2023, but this year it will be an online only event, as it is a lot more straightforward to get a fleet of Maxi trimarans out on the virtual water, than in real life.

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!
