	THX!!! @ zero, I am trying to keep my laptop windows office free looking the numbers: if I got the system, to score 1000 you should win at least 15 races indipendent of the time frame, right? found my new goal for the next years! lol --- Zuletzt bearbeitet von Gilles am 2012-03-13 08:42:50 ---

	I found a mistake in the previous spreadsheet, so I've attached a corrected version. You can get 1000 by winning 10 of your first 15 races. Otherwise, you need to gradually increase your rating by winning. Depends on your starting rating for how long that takes. Maybe we should We are thinking of including a decrease in the rating, which would make it difficult to stay at 1000, let alone get there. Attachments SOL_PR_after_race_448_1.xls (111.5 KB)

	Hi Scotsman - getting closer! I ran a few of the recent long races with the latest set of numbers and the results are credible. There is a definite bias toward slower boats, but I'm not sure if this is reflecting the method of handicapping or the nature of long races. A very interesting summary to look at is corrected time vs handicap for any given race. Ideally you'd end up a with a flat "limit" with cruisers etc scattered above that. For leg 3 there is a positive slope. Interestingly, you can also see the 24 gaps that boats were able to transit the strait in - within each group the trend holds true. Good news for the system.

	I'll start processing results on the basis of my previous posts. Hmmm, any chance of sending the results for the recent races like you did before? We have those up to #448 25 Feb 2012. Any thoughts on how to host the results or the data? We can continue with this thread for now but at some stage the results should go somewhere more obvious.

	I've analysed the ratings for the race #449. See attached. This spreadsheet includes updated rating and corrected results. New SOLers can have very low ratings as they have not completed many races. This seems to skew the results. We may need to give them a higher starting rating which is more realistic until they have completed a few races. Attachments SOL_PR_after_race_449.xls (2.2 MB)

	Here are the next two race results. Whilst this is working ok, could do with some programming advice on how to improve it. Bit clumsy at the moment. Attachments SOL_PR_after_race_451.xls (2.1 MB) SOL_PR_after_race_457.xls (2.1 MB)

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!
