	Hi RC This is the race that Patrick suggested. We need to get hold of Patrick so that he can have an input into the Invitation and boat types etc. George (Jawz) Attachments Simonstown_-_Jamestown_St_Helena.kmz (1.9 KB)

	Hi Guys I was thinking of Calling it "Sol's Simonstown To ST.Helena Island Race" I would like the boat type to be Open 60 if Possible? Kind Regards Patrick "Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of who do the things no one can imagine." ~ Alan Turing

	Thanks Patrick and George. Long straight line courses usually end up being the most challenging - many opportunities to go in the wrong direction I look forward to the race. Rob / Tyger “We may have arrived on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now!” Martin Luther King Jr.

	OK. Race all set up and new weather in so it is now available to preview for a short while (to check that it looks as planned). To view it just log in to SOL using the following credentials: USERNAME: sol PASSWORD: sol and then click here The Race Description to appear on the right hand side of the SOL screen will say this: QUOTE A copy of a South African December classic, SOLers are invited to race 1700nm in Open 60s from Simonstown, RSA, to the island of St Helena - exotic, remote; an island paradise with warm, friendly, hospitable islanders! UNQUOTE Is this OK? UPDATE The race has now been archived until it will be raced. _________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-11-06 08:41:24 ---

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!
