	garganey - thank you so much!!! The other evening I was watching a programme on television about Madagascar and the incredible creatures there and it occurred to me that SOL didn't have a race in that area at all so... your course is exactly what we need!! I will set it up in SOL over the next wee while (no longer than 24hrs) so you can then have a look at it and we can, if need be, fine tune it

	Good morning garganey The Comoros Cruise is now set up, with a new weathersystem and map for E Africa, so... to see how it looks just log in as the sol boat: Username: sol Password: sol and then click here Let me know if it looks good so we can then archive it before it is needed. Do you have a preference for when it is raced?

	@SP Trying to find information and it looks like the area now is between seasons and that the Kusi season starts in April but i dont know about windspeeds. @RC If you can move waypoint 2 a little bit north the course will be perfect. I have no prefered race date you can find a gap in the calender for me.

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!
