	That was already done too I happened to be reading emails when the thread-alert message came through! Can't promise to always be so prompt

	RC, the race is PERFECT now. You're GREAT!!! Thanks you very much. If you want, ask me what you think could be nice and interesting for the presentation and I'll prepare for SOL

	Anchoilla - I will shortly be closing your race as it is now set up and it needs to be archived. As for the homepage information, if you look back through the different entries, perhaps we can come up with a nice picture (from your files or a photo) and then write a little about the area/course where we will be sailing. It is not urgent for now but would be good to have it drafted and ready Your proposal already has all the information, so the piece perhaps needs only to be a few sentences taken from that? Once you have a draft I am obviously happy to help tidy it if you think that is needed.

	HI RC, I think we have the reace ready to be archived (thank you for giving me the opportunity to test it) Everything is all right. I'm sending you some pics. Perhaps they are good to give an idea how the island is. Here is a link to some Formentera's video, although there's not much sailing in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG2PITrH5pQ If you want, we may take some lines from the pdf I sent you in the beginning. But if you prefer it, tell me how long has to be the text and I write it talking about you think could be interesting. Attachments 01.Formentera_2.png (410.4 KB) 02._Formentera_1.JPG (2.3 MB)

	Hola Anchoilla - just looking ahead to the June calendar and the 24th is a Monday so.. are you OK if we start the race on the evening of Friday, 21st June?

	Hi RC, since the race is held in Europe, better it starts daylight. Then, a good chance should be saturday 22th, at 9 or 10 UTC. But if SOL thinks is better another date and hour, I accept it. Thanks

	Hope you are ready ... I will be putting your race on the homepage shortly! We are, as you will have seen, starting on Friday morning (21st June) for two reasons (1) there is another race starting on Sunday and I would like your race to get good focus, and (2) the forecast is currently quite light and folks in other timezones need a chance to complete it over their weekends too! I will now prepare something for the Homepage, linking to your introduction and artwork

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!
