	"early in the morning on day 26" youtube (link should take you to 0:26:22 in the video) There must be exact finish times somewhere... The rest of the video is worth watching as well.

	Dana1 found this and mentioned in the chat: Steinlager 2 sails to first leg of Whitbread "The total elapsed time since the September 2 start of the race in Portsmouth, Great Britain was 25 days, 20 hours and 46 minutes. "

	Been watching my collection of Whitbread movies and VOR movies and am taking time to reflect of exactly how good sailors Sir Peter Blake and Conny van Rietschoten was... Masters... RIP to both. Sir Peter Blake in particular was a genius when sailing was involved... Had goosebumps seeing the footage of him and Grant Dalton coming in 1st & 2nd into Auckland in that 89/90 Whitbread... that squall at the end... Tragic that some fool with greed as a motive cut short his life. We lost a great man indeed... I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	OK, I know I am a bit slow on the uptake but I would like to know when the second leg starts (and where I should have looked for that information). Thanks

	Must admit that having watched a lot of footage of the VO70's in the southern ocean I'd rather do the voyage on Steinie2 if pressured to do so... She may be much slower than the modern breed of speed machines but she is way tougher I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	I notice that there are no ice gates or southern latitude boundary that we must observe. I don't know if this was the case for the real race, but it is now for all around the world races. I am not necessarily advocating that we should have such limitations, but if realism is something we are striving for then it may very well be that the best virtual course for this leg would be sheer suicide in real life. Just a thought. I will be reinforcing Hirilondë's bow for ice breaking just in case.

	Ice gates make a lot of sense IRL. Still, it is interesting to route without them in SOL. Even so, I ended up setting up some gates. Not "ice" gates, actually, but points on the Antarctic Coast that I have to leave to starboard. Sanave 68 57.822s 000 35.645e Sor Mondane 01 69 16.394s 014 59.413e Sor Mondane 02 68 28.407s 033 32.456e Napier Mtns 65 58.389s 051 01.731e Please forgive the rather arbitrary naming of these points. Also, I have no clue as to whether using these WPs in a router will help or hurt the time to arrival at Fremantle.

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.

This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

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!
