	Hi! How do I add a photo in the label which pops upp when I tick on a pushpin, start dot, course line, etc.? Race four (150Nm) is now ready to launch. But I check, recheck and check again (very insecure), who check that I have done everything correct? Any e-mail address? In some cases is it impossible for me to follow your guide lines. 1. Position start and finish of longer races clear of immediate obstacles, as many players might want to use delayed commands. Either you race or not. What say´s that some don´t need DC´s in the middle of the race? No, this is NOT a good idea! 2. Fine-tune the Latitude and the Longitude. Almost impossible as my courses so far are located in very narrow waters. Fine tuning put the lines and pushpins on the "high way". 3. The finish line should be approximately perpendicular to the line between the last waypoint and the finish. This is just for lazy/late skippers who want to use DC and CC over the line. I think we should try to minimize the numbers of pushpins if possible instead. 4. The length of the finish line should be... Physical impossible in some of my races as the waters are too narrow. PS. I don´t want to flash all my mistakes on the Forum. I´m ready to share my courses via the Forum when I know I have done them properly. TheHorn

	IMHO the Caribbean Sprint can and should be re-run many times with preference starting early Fridays. That is a perfect race for a long snowy weekend. What a great race that is. Cheers, Antonio

	I also prefer archipelago races and Caribbean Sprint is one of them. If you like or prefer fairly short archipelago races, you should know that I have sent Inco four (4) races which I hope will be launched during the upcoming spring 2010.

	Ladys and Gents, What is the next race? I had family issues during the weekend and could not race the "Mini800NM part 2" and the "Figaro Transat" is too much for me to chew. So, I am sitting on the dock bored and longing for a race. Please any race, but a long long one. Thanks all, Antonio

Current Races:

Tour Down Under 2022
It will be 694nm of killing racing on an amazing route created by SOL'er AGage. In the chat of the first edition of this race, Tyger wrote "Only an Aussie (and a crazy one) with intimate knowledge of these waters could have come up with such a racecourse". Well maybe AGage was a bit crazy, but he was also a genius when he made it, inspired by the great cycling race "Tour Down Under". Instead of bikes we will use fast 60ft Trimarans. So rest well and prepare large amounts of coffee. You will have at least two days without sleep. 😊
