    Francois,

    I think your proposal is great as it addresses the needs of pretty much everybody. With the "short" weekend and workday series being in the 2-3 day timeframe that pretty much takes care of the timezone issue. The "drag races" should be equitatively distributed timezone wise to keep things even.

    This is a great first step.

    Regards,

    Antonio

    Jakob,

    Thanks for giving a better job description of the RC's duties. The RC definately needs a Chairman, as well as members from countries in different timezones so as to accomodate a "global" point of view. I do hereby nominate 76T to have first dibs at the Chairman position, since he started this thread! I volunteer for whatever duties need to be done. I'm not up to speed on the technical (computer) side of the job, but I'm willing to learn. On the sailing side I can provide you guys with decent insight, since I've been sailing IRL pretty much my entire life, and that also includes doing my fair share of RC work at the local yacht club.

    Looking forward to working hard to enhance SOL's position as the best damn sailing simulation online, and making it even more enjoyable for the online sailing community!

    Regards,

    Toño

    You can count me in as Race Committee member, I think it's a great idea. I can help with anything you guys want. Whoever comes up with a race, could be the "Race Comittee Chairman" for that race and all the volunteers could pitch in with the "dirty work". I think it is a great way for more of the less technically inclined SOL'ers to give something back to the community.

    Regards,

    Toño

    Good News! Glad to know you are coming back!!

    Your toolbox seems like a great idea! As far as fairness in concerned... You should never apologize for "building a better mousetrap"! Keep doing what you do best and don't listen to the naysayers!!

    Regards

    I hope everything is OK, and wish you a speedy return to the SOL community. You are going to be missed!

    76Trombones wrote the original SOLTemplateV.xls file, I just took the values from that file and put them on an handier way to reference.

    Helps to illustrate the polar "humps" a little better

    Again all credit goes to 76Trombones
