2009-03-29 23:40:08 - BOAT TYPES & DETAILS
Can there be a section / page with details of the boats we are racing.

Ideally a pretty picture(s) but with good profile and layout drawings, dimensions, designer, builders, racing history summary.

Perhaps "good" features and those where developement and design have continued on from.

Links to more detailed sites would be better than editing down details & easier for all.

Perhaps one page per boat?

Nice idea. Considering the work load I can only come up with polars for the boats and if users have additional info about the boats it would be nice to link in some way, yes.

Good idea, starting with the x-332 from thy Cyclades volcano r run.
It's not any longer in production but you can see a used one here:

Perfect.

Now just put a photo with that link or ask that website if you can copy thie page. They may even email the original to you.

Ask other bi-lingual sailors to translate for you. email the original text in WORD.DOC or PDF format; make another page in the "new" language and paste the translation.

Give credit (and blame?) to the SOL translating sailor.

PS. Confusious said that "pictures speak a thousand words" and don't need translation more than 100 years or 1,000+ years ago!

Jacob perhaps all you need now is to add the SOL Polar chart and perhaps Brainaid's 3D polar diagrams.

So X-332 is all sorted.

The Volvo site should have some pretty promotional photos for their 70 footers.

Having an incorrect polar, or not exactly correct polar does NOT matter that much. Just add a comment e.g. For SOL use only.

Now "Next boat" please.

Thanks

Tall Ships Races 2025 - Le Havre to Dunkirk

NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
