	Looks like great fun - a 24-48 hour race? Someone want to take a crack at dressing it up in SOL-format? Keep them coming!

	Welcome to a slalom through the beautiful Channel Islands off the sunny Southern California coast. Head west from San Diego in your Catalina 470 and skirt the west side of San Clemente Island; turn northeast and visit Avalon and Two Harbors on Santa Catalina Island; don’t tarry long or you’ll miss the turn west to Santa Barbara and San Nicolas Islands. Soon it will be time for a run north to Channel Islands National Park. Go around Anacapa Island, through the Anacapa Passage, skirt the south side of Santa Cruz Island, through the Santa Cruz Channel, along the north side of Santa Rosa island, and finally around San Miguel Island. We’ll finish up in Santa Barbara where we’ll join Macavity on Stearns Wharf and watch the sun dip into the Pacific Ocean with a tasty beverage in hand.

	Nice race. Just one remark. The proposed boat is the Catalina 470. I do not think that SailOnline already has its polars. Given the time constraints of Jakob and Kalle, I suggest to use only existing polars for the time being. The choice is wide enough: http://team-yacht-treff.de/polars/index.html Regards, Francois

	Seems reasonable! We do have a nice selection of boats in the system - including a bunch that don't get as much time on the water. Maybe Jakob can chime in on this? I'm happy to help prepare formatted polars for new boats if it's something that we'd like. I do enjoy seeing how the different boats behave, and it can give some interesting local flavour to races.

	Polars well prepared like that is absolutely NO problem for me to implement. You people are fantastic!! ...one of the guys behind the game...

	If it's no trouble for Jakob, it's no trouble for me either. I have a spreadsheet that builds that format from handicap tables, which for our purposes means that we have access to any boat that has ever been measured under IMS/ORC. 1000's of polars from folkboats to the latest 150' Wally-yacht. Will try to clean it up and post, but until then, just ask!

	I was going to ask if you'd used the handicaps to get the polars. I'll be interested to see how that works when you clean up your spreadsheet.

	i'd like to nominate a name change given the lazy boat, and the wondering route... the Channel Island Meander... "They won't play if they can't win" - Walt Disney

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!
