	Yes... infinite drive space has really led to some bizarre habits! heh The fleet is mostly home. Could you send me another archive AGage? Thanks edit: or WhyNot! Sorry read too fast --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2011-06-17 12:46:17 ---

	Rod said @ 2011-06-14 13:53:45: Tom: I think that has to be covered by someone who can calculate the numbers. All I can do is estimate, which you can do yourself.... 1) You can hover the mouse over the polar in the client to get this information 2) There is a program available which can load SOL polars (even the IMSYC), display them and also give you exact speed info by holding mouse down over the polar I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Rod said @ 2011-06-14 16:20:45: What a bunch of un-observant, amateur puddle-splashers we are, to have not noticed the elementary fact that a boat cannot sail downwind faster than the wind speed. Aside from the fact the TWS is in m/s, 6 is not unique in that all columns show this 'feature' - if you look harder you will see all the faster boats have this similar profile (ie Katrinautic?). Why list TWS in m/s yet SOG in kn?? Well m/s is just as common a unit for TWS as kn is, yet SOG is always specified in kn - I agree it is confusing, but in this case it lets polars use nice round numbers, 2.0 is easier than 3.8868898 BUT, as all polars had the same TWSs, it is the curves that describe the performance profile that matter, not the raw numbers, so it doesn't make much difference here. Still, using tools to view/analyze the polar(s) makes like much easier - and besides, all the polar data was there for all to see/analyse well before the race - and what makes you think no-one noticed this 'anomalous' BS curve and just didn't post about it Anyway, these aren't intended to be real yachts... We could create whatever we want in a polar to use on SOL - realistic is nice but not necessary... I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Aaron, hunkering down below my desk - with my helmet on, I beg to differ. The contentious curve (TWS 7.8 kn) in uprisings polar has a a "bulge" between TWA 140 and TWA 180. The boatspeeds there are all the same 9.7 kn. I have never seen a polar like that, and I challenge any designer to design a boat, sailing faster than the wind - within the IMSYC rules - at TWA 180.

	And comparing with katrinautic. At twa 180 TWS 7.8 - the katrin does 5 kn. uprising does 10! I do not agree with tour statement that the "katrin has a similar bulge"! Still friends - I hope

	76: How do I send the grib files to you? Do you have a "junk e-mail addy - where you let ppl you don't know send you stuff.

	All of the boats are IMSYC-rule compliant by definition. The VPP won't run unless they are. This has nothing to do with whether a fast IMSYC boat would be fast IRL. The venue isn't Valencia - it's SOL. The boats that I "designed" would be dogs in real water, but they are fast within the rules. I mentioned in one of the first posts that this exercise is sort of mirror-image to designing real boats. Designing to "rule" you normally want a boat that rates slower that it really is. The downwind performance of Uprising is a glitch, but it makes no difference to us .

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!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. 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.
