	If, having read the Notice of Race (NOR) and the seven translations offered for the relevant paragraph of clause 2, you still have a question then please add it below and SRC will get back with an answer as soon as possible. Suggestions for improvement in any further Series are equally welcome.

	Spin of a three-sided coin, eh???? If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Is there any real reason to run the full series? Strategy A Sardinia - SOTO Hebrides - SOTO Strategy B Sardinia - SOTO Hebrides - DNS The second option keeps the SOTO available for the full series, especially the finale.

	By not racing one of the races you give others a potential bonus point (because they automatically beat you in that race). There's more going on that choosing the fastest boat available. As javakeda rightly remarked in his solfans post, there is some game theory involved. You can't pick the winning boat every time (otherwise your strategy would be clear), so when you pick your boat you'll have to consider how many people are going to beat you, which depends on what boat types the others choose. Possible strategy: - When you're fast, go with the popular choice: If the popular boat is the fastest, you'll win. If the popular boat is not the fastest, you'll have minimal losses while still having the fast boat available. - When you're slow, go with the unpopular choice: If your boat is the fastest, you'll have a good chance beating the majority in their slower boats. When your boat is not the fastest (meaning most people chose a faster boat), you would be at the back of the fleet anyway, so better take a little more loss by sailing a slower boat while still having the fast boat available for later. But because there are 3 boats, it gets a little more complicated. And because which boat is fastest may depend on the race conditions, all gets a whole lot more complicated... ____________ disclaimer: I'm not really experienced with game theory, this strategy will probably not be optimal (even if the reasoning may seem sound). For one, when everyone uses this strategy it doesn't work anymore --- Last Edited by kroppyer at 2017-01-25 03:12:56 ---

	Clause 2 of the NOR has been rephrased to address a query raised to SRC during race 1 for when a skipper registers for less than the full six race Series. This clarification simply relieves such a skipper of using each design once whilst retaining the existing limitation of not using one design more than twice. --- Last Edited by Go4iT at 2017-01-27 16:16:29 ---

	Here are tables with results from first 4 40' Series races, for analysis purpose only. The ONLY OFFICIAL ranking is one on SOL page. Reasons of differences may be: - all boats included, not just SYC Members - in a single race, DNF boats are ranked according DTF and are all placed before DNS boats. - in a single race, all DNS boats get same PTS, #FIN+#DNF+1 - in races 3 and 4 all DSQ boats have been removed from ranking, but also from num of contributed, so DNC PTS are lower Initially, in Series tab boats are ranked by Series PTS and in Races tab by names. You can rearange this by any column you like, just click on drop-down arrow next to column name and chose sort direction. To distinct if a single boat type is used twice, ones or not at all in Series so far, in Series ranking by boat type 1000 is added to Type PTS for only one race and 2000 means that Type wasn't use by skipper in first 4 races. (For DSQ boats, Series Type PTS are calculated wrong, to-be-corrected in next table... Hope you find this interesting, all questions, suggestions and corrections are welcome --- Last Edited by SimeMali at 2017-05-05 20:04:14 --- Ibis redibis numquam in mare peribis Attachments 40Series_aft_4_races.xlsx (85.1 KB)

	As above, after 5 races. Hope DSQ issue solved. Still place for improvement, will be better for next 40' Series... --- Last Edited by SimeMali at 2017-06-20 23:39:21 --- Ibis redibis numquam in mare peribis Attachments 40Series_aft_5_races.xlsx (86.2 KB)

	Good morning SimeMali and all. Very well done this race log and stats. Thank you and, looking forward to read the sixth report. A quick note. The only boat that didn't won any race (race #6 - 2017 included) is the SOTO 40. For obvious reasons, IMO SRC should consider an alternative to this boat and/or extending the actual 40' fleet.

	SRC would welcome suggestions of other racing 40' boats that might be considered for the 40' Series championship as we go forward into 2018. Hopefully this six month advance notice will give our polar wizards enough time to submit suggestions for when SRC starts to consider the format for 2018 (that will be in early 2017Q4, i.e. September 2017.)

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

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!

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
