2013-08-26 13:29:38 - Hidden SOL Treasures
While sailing the SYC Leg 2 it came about during discussion in Chat that Winston posted a link to a poster of SOL Polars. A never before seen treasure, Yes OK, I know! Winston had it I know, but, this raises the query.

"Who else out there in the SOL community has treasures like this?" And I was asked to start a new Thread discussing this topic.

So my collective group of "Virtual" friends! :) If you are doing any Sailonline work on statistics, polars, websites, blogs etc etc how about letting the rest of us know please? With the imminent move of Sailonline ownership to us the community I am sure that this good work of yours and your hidden treasures will for sure be placed either here, or links to it on the web site.

Its all good stuff indeed, so I attached the pic that Winston placed for reference, or go look
here

I have for some time been thinking of adding the polars, polar csv data, Winstons recent boat profile pics, pictures of the same yachts to my website boatshed and this fell into my lap. Then again I am not so sure that I want to place all our polar csv data in the public domain for use by competitor sailing sites so this I will not do for now!!!

I will start this off by saying I am logging race results from inception of SOL and posting these to a website http://jawz@co.za. In terms of the SYC Club Championships I will be uploading before the end of the month some stats regarding aggregated sailing times for Legs 1 and 2

Cheers for now

George

For the Record I believe 76T actually offered that link as I was saying I have some (about 20) of the PDF poalr graphics but not all of them.

Visually it is easier to compare one boat to another by way of these files dowloaded from Brainaid's site for each race. As I am planning a new race, exploring boat choices was my main interest. I wish to Thank 76T for the friendly assistance he provided.

and I mentioned in an email that TheHorn has a spreadsheet of races run etc ... so maybe y'all can get in contact with each other....

There must be lots of treasures out there.

76T has already made that amazing Fleet "poster" which is apparently made up of individual tile pictures!!

When do we get the answer to the quiz? I would like to cut and paste these profiles into my Boatshed!

Current Races:

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
