	captjack1942 said @ 2013-03-05 21:22:08: Actually the best start time to get us to the doldrums faster would be around 02:00~03:00 thur the 7th. But I vote no more changes. Let's just race. I'm with Cappy - LET'S RACE AS NOW SCHEDULED!!! Rico

	I always start late anyway, and always finish in the top 150-200, whatever everyone else wants I'm good with. I hate work, it always gets in the way of having fun. LOL looking for a FP Bahia Maestro 42 CAT

	Agreed... long race and a lot can happen. Conditions are the same for all... So... Let's get cracking on planned start time I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	I agree the systems will be what they will be and we should go as planned. Its a long race and in real sailing in general races start as advertised without being able to pick and chose the best weather. PR

	UPDATE As at now, the majority are in favour with staying with the current start time. The stats are: Current Start: 17 New Start: 2 Don't Mind: 2 I am now out until later this morning so, despite this majority, we will of course wait until the midday cut-off. That's fair isn't it? ________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-03-06 08:07:07 ---

	Thank you all for your replies so far, this can help us for future races as well. My personal thought is go as planned and if we like it we can always re-visit this one and set it up so we can have even more of a record run. I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	Greetings to all, my opinion is that you should not change neither the hour nor the day of departure, ie would have to leave the day was planned from the beginning, as the race is long and winds conditions many days can vary widely as to the best and worse. saludos a todos , mi opinion es que no se debe cambiar ni la hora ni el dia de la salida , es decir que habria que salir el dia que estaba previsto desde su origen, ya que la carrera es muy larga y las condiciones de vientos en tantos dias pueden ser muy variables tan to a mejor como a peor

	Let's get going as scheduled. The weather on this one is going to even out the optimum starting time anyway due to the length of the race.

	Start as scheduled, a race is a race no matter what the conditions.

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.
