	Attached a kmz file with all courses setup in SOl, and an Excel file with all races run in SOL. Both until November 2009. Attachments SOL_courses.kmz (8.9 KB) SailOnline_race_archive_original.xls (168.5 KB)

	Correct erniss. These files go until November 2009, as I have indicated in my post. Mid-November 2009 in fact, when the race committee started its work. The race committee is mainly using these two files to find older races that can be rerun. We therefore do not need them to be updated on a frequent basis. --- Last Edited by Incognito at 2010-01-04 09:37:43 --- --- Last Edited by Incognito at 2010-01-04 09:38:15 ---
Posted by Antonio (Tuze1) Posts 18 Registered at 2008-12-12 02:43:48	2010-01-04 16:01:47 - Proposal for a race outside of Rio (Brazil)
	This is my humble proposal for a race offshore of Rio de Janeiro. The circuit is based on an actual race that I sailed a few times. There are some modifications to make more exciting for Sol. I designed the race in Google Earth as per Francois (Incognito) tutorial. This is my first time working in Google Earth, so please review it as necessary.

	Nice race, Antonio. When does the real one take place? Is there a web page? Two remarks regarding the kmz file: - You should give a name to the start, the waypoints, and the finish. Example: 'Copacabana - Waypoint 5' - I would merge the invitation into the description, perhaps as follows: 'A 460 NM race in the waters offshore of Rio de Janeiro. For those of us tired of shovelling snow and walking in boots, an opportunity to wear flimsy T-shirts and flip-flops. We set sail from the Iate Clube of Rio de Janeiro, then head to the magnificent city of Buzios, turn around to beautiful Ilhabela, and finish in Rio.'

	Hi Francois, Here it is the updated "kmz" file with your comments. I really don't know if they still do this race in RL. This was 20+ years ago when I still lived overthere. We used to sail on 1/2tonners and OneTonners. It was a 3 days affair. Here on SOL we could do (I think) in less than 48hours on a VO70. Maybe even less if we get good winds. Also, the real race didn't allow to go thru the Ilhabela strait, but for SOL this would more interesting. Note that in the leg from Rio to Buzios there are many little island that here on SOL we will be able to cut corners and again make the race more interesting. The idea here is to re-live my childhood. I hope we all have fun. It will all depend on the wind. If we get a weekend with light winds this could turn into a painful race. But, we sailors know that already. Don't we ? Thanks again for considering this race. Cheers, Antonio (Tuze1) Attachments Rio_Circuit_Race_2.kmz (2.4 KB)

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!
