	A little needed diversion maybe. This is a project I've been working on for a little while - the intention was to produce a set of consistent tiles that we could use on a "fleet" page for the website, but also for race announcements and in the client. The boats are all individual files matching our polars, and are scaleable vector graphics - easy to manipulate. I started dropping them on a "poster" page just to keep track a bit, and because I liked the way it was starting to turn out. Neat to see the vastly different sizes. When I got bored of drawing 40 'ers I added a few easter eggs... It's not 100% complete, and it'll be a while before it moves much beyond what's presented here, but I thought you guys might have fun... I've made up an "entry form" over at 76Trombones.wordpress.com and can host a larger file there. I invite anyone interested to test their sail ID and google-fu. I figure the max score is currently about 111. Once it's finalised I'll publish the vector-art version. Maybe we can have some posters made up? --- Last Edited by sol at 2013-09-07 22:40:56 --- Attachments SolPosterIIIthumb.png (13.6 KB)

	Oh wow 76T that is wonderful - I have been so wanting to make a boat name + polar + image + list of races for so long. I try and keep up to date a note of all boats used in races (in a spreadsheet), and polars are nearly all uploaded as image files anyway now they are included in race descriptions, so the only thing missing has been an image (with scale maybe)of what each boat looks like. I had been thinking of trying to find copyright-free images from the internet, but your diagrammatic images would be perfect!!! At the moment the SOL Boathouse is a bit barebones!! ______________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-07-17 06:42:24 ---

	Here's an example tile - we should be able to handle line thicknesses, scale, etc in code, so one file for each boat can serve many uses. Attachments Twister28.pdf (7.0 KB)

	Lol... I should have at least changed the filename huh? Bernd leads by (with?) 1 point!

	I didn't remembered the boat type and I didn't saw the file name. But I know Flo from many pics and it's so unusual at SOL. I will try to get the other 99 points soon… Bernd (K3)

	I've done it. To be correct: I tried it. In the 4th row I lost the connection to the pics. There were only 4 or 5 columns listed in the test but there're more boats. It would be easier when there will be number/letter at each boat. ciao Bernd (K3) I want the picture in a BIG version

	Yeah, the format of the questionnaire is pretty bad. This is trying to use Google Docs - the only benefit is that it's self-scoring/databasing. (which is actually pretty neat) 6 Rows - defined by the waterlines: 13 (A-M) 4 (A-D) 4 (A-D) 8 (A-H) 11 (A-K) 11 (A-K) Bigger image from the blog Maybe I'll just add a fillable form to the pdf... hmm (K3 still winning)

	the waterlines! ok, forget my results, next try tomorrow. And thanks for the big picture. We need a H-boat race in the future… ciao Bernd (K3)

Pacific NW Inshore 2019
Welcome to a 137nm SOL Classic, from Seattle to Vancouver, past historic Port Townsend, home of the famous wooden boat festival, then on past Whale Watch Park where there is often a pod of orca whales to be seen, continuing on round and through the beautiful San Juan Islands Nature Reserve and then up into the Strait of Georgia for a finish in English Bay. Enjoy it all!

Hong Kong to Puerto Galera 2019
Welcome all to SOL's fourth race in this year's twelve race SYC Championships, and to another prestigious buddy-up with RHKYC for their inaugural Hong Kong to Puerto Galera ocean race. 650nm as the red-footed booby flies, and for our Santa Cruz 52's just a quick dash with the sheets more than likely well-eased.

Boston to Plymouth TransAt 2019
Sailonline first raced between Plymouth and Boston in 2008, but it was in 2009 that the course was reversed, creating our classic Boston to Plymouth route. Usually sailed as a TIMED TransAt, this time we are racing as a fleet. Crossing the North Atlantic in N Hemisphere Spring can be a challenging enterprise and now, in this era of increasing climate instability, traditional routes may not prove to be the best! Have fun deciding your strategy!
