	I agree that Volvo OR 70 would be a good choice!

	I've never really bothered to think about how our polar compares to the real boats, but in this case I think VO70 (or open 60, or IMOCA 60) is a little too fast. There are mostly boats of 35-45ft on the entry list. There is a first 44.7 on both lists There is a farr 11.6 aka farr 38 on both lists I think swan 36 might be a match too (little slow maybe), and there's more on the entry list that are probably more similar (than VO70/open60/IMOCA60) to the real boats in the SOL boat house --- Last Edited by kroppyer at 2013-11-14 17:14:38 ---

	Link to boathouse doesn't seem to be working..I guess VO 70.

	I've corrected the link to our list of boats. I was going to go with a Farr 38 The First 44.7 hasn't been used much and has a useful polar. Looking at the Calendar we have the VO70 in the Christmas Ocean race. --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-11-14 17:52:57 ---

	Agree with Kroppy, nice to have average boat of the fleet not the fastest one. Would add FinnGulf FG43.

	Big & fast boats are always fun, but I'd vote for kropp's idea; a not that big nor fast boat: Swan 36, X35 OD or, new this summer, 11 metre OD.

	well we've got a First 44.7 and a VO70 in our boathouse. There's 1 of each in the race IRL. I'd say one of those 2

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!
