2017-04-06 10:26:11 - Calling all Routing SOLers - Careka would like help
Hi all

Many of you know that SOLer Careka is sailing, with wife/family, in yacht Careka around the world. The group of yachts he is in company with are now seeking routing advice/help as follows:

QUOTE
Hey,all, we are a bunch of boats that will sail from St.Martin around 1may, and to Horta,Azores, does anyone like to send us weather, and where to sail, like a safe wr. Not trying to win a regatta 😂. And its nice to get a mail every day have some contact with the once on land. Only a mail with texst telling us what the wind will be like and the pos of the Lows and where they are moving. There will be boats from Norway,Danmark,Germany in the group. We will aim to sail fastes and safest route to Horta. Anyone like to help us, it is fun.
UNQUOTE

If you are one of our "routing SOLers" and feel you can help, then

(a) if you are on Facebook, please respond to Careka via the Sailonline Group post he has made there.

(b) if you are not on Facebook, please email me at joanne@sailonline.org with your email address so I can put you in touch with Careka.

Here is the blog of Lagoon 380 Careka

and here is the tracker that gives (hourly) current position Careka

Hope someone can help!

Viva Joanne and all.

Concerning careka'ss trip, I need to know Polars from all the boats in the fleet or, from the slowest one and the fastest.

Can you pls make the bridge as I don't have e-mail/s to contact our SOL brother Careka?

Need to know also some details about the geo coordinates for the boat fix the garmin tool from careka generates.

Viva All,

Concerning the Lagoon 380 I've managed to got a Polar file for the boat.
Tested in qT and works fine for routing.

Wind and Currents GRIBS setups also done.

Just need to know the already asked questions.

This is not a regatta, but a safe sailing to awoyd bad weather. There is no a Bavaria 47, 39, 40, Janneau 42, pogo, a 62oneoff, lagoon380.
But we will adjust the speed so we will sail like a groupe in the beginning,
We sailed with the 62 onoff on our way over and we did the go for speed the first 2 days, and we sailed nearly the same, if winds got low the 62 pulled away, but as soon as we had 15 knots or more we pulled away.
Do it today.

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
