Posted by 76Trombones Posts 362 Registered at 2009-08-03 18:04:56	2009-12-29 21:40:08 - Boat choice poll for Boston-Newport race.
	Post annotated by Incognito : This thread was moved from the category General Discussion. A timed race from Boston to Newport is being considered for the slot following Hobart-Sydney. This poll is to decide what boat to race, and whether to offer the option of more than one boat type. Sailors can change boats when they start a new run. Estimated duration of a run is 6-12hours and the race will be open for one week. Please respond with your choice of the 4 options below: 60' Trimaran VO70 Orange All three The poll will CLOSE with the starting gun for the Hobart-Sydney race. The checkbox for each option is the one "above" it. The fifth choice (show results) lets you trade your vote for a peek at the outcome. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2009-12-29 21:45:34 --- --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2009-12-29 21:52:17 --- --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2009-12-29 22:25:28 ---

	My vote wasn't counted. Easy to control because nobody's vote was counted Btw, I want all three.

	The poll layout is deceptive. The bottom checkbox is to trade your vote for a peek at results... SOLer's word is good enough for me on this sort of thing. If anyone gets tripped up just post here.

	If we go for the 3 boats, we have also to have a ranking of the 3 different classes. Otherwise, it isn't fair. The polars of the 3 boats are not matching with eachother, so the outcome will also be not comparable... Not everybody has the time to sail with the 3 boats in the best conditions in the one week we get. "Sailing is an Art"

	I only agree for the 3 boats if we have separate rankings for each boat. Not everybody has the time to race with all 3 boats in ideal weather during the week the race is open! If not, we have the same discussion as we have already for months: sailing with the help of extra software, compared with normal brain use... The first part will be able to do the race with the 3 boats with extra help, and the others will have no change at all. "Sailing is an Art"

	Couldn't agree more Cajun Queen. I'll be sitting this one out. My worry is that such races (timed races) are becoming too lengthy and too frequent. The odd one here and there is fine, but if that is at the expense of conventional races then I can see my enthusiasm for SOL taking a dive. Call me an old fuddy duddy, even "obnoxious" as one who shall remain nameless did on my expressing these sentiments, if you like. Nevertheless I think the time to speak up has come, and I hope others like-minded will do the same and halt what I, rightly or wrongly, perceive to be an irritating trend.

Haugesund to Reykjavik 2025

In late April 2016 Draken Harald Hårfagre, the worlds largest viking ship built in modern times, left her home port in Haugesund, Norway and sailed off for a challenging voyage across the North Atlantic Ocean.
The aim was to explore and relive one of the most mythological sea voyages – the first transatlantic crossing, and the Viking discovery of the New World, more than a thousand years ago. History tells us about the Viking explorer, Leif Eriksson, who discovered America over 500 years before Christopher Columbus. The expedition was all about exploring the world, just like the Vikings did.
Sailonline is racing the 1000 nm first leg, from Haugesund, Norway, to Reykjavik, Iceland in our Farr 400. Let us sail in the wake of history on this epic adventure!
