	I want to propose some races to be race in Mini 6,50 boats like "Les Sables - Azores - Les Sables", do I have to post the boat's polars too?

	SOL already has polars for a Mini 650.

	We have a polar for the mini650. Last october we did the 'Poor mans race', a race in two legs from Charente via Madeira to Salvador Brasil. So keep in mind that those 2 legs already exist in SOL (you don't need to remake them) But of course, the race you proposed is slightly different... looking forward to your proposal! (I am also a mini650 fan!) my other boat is a kiteboard =)

	Now that you mentioned (leg races) I have some more (newbie) questions about them: 1 - Should we post ONE kmz with all legs or separate them in several diferent races. 2 - How do the results work for those that are not members of SOL if the legs are considered diferent races. Do they keep there position from leg to leg? Restart every race? (Sorry to ask, probably alot of SOL racers already know the answers, but I never raced a leg race before)

	1. I prefer a separate kmz for each leg. 2. It is easy to create a separate ranking for a series of races. We did so for example for the 3 legs of the Bosphore - Bretagne Race (link at the bottom of right column). However, you need to join the SYC to be included in any ranking except the ones for individual races. Thus, the message is: please join the SYC! Regards, Francois

	Here we go again... I need help to translate a traditional koordinate pos. N13"26.48´to the system Google Earth use. Is just to divide 26 with 60 minutes and then divide 48 with 60 seconds? Or does anyone have any better formula to convert my old pos. to N13.xxxxxx? Is there a Polar for Linjett40 available? I don´t know so much about sailing boats. Is it possible to upload a picture of boat to the .kmz-folder in Google Earth?

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.

Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas.
