hello,
you will find in the attached document my remarks about the Atlant'îles Challenge.
It is not criticism but remarks that I hope will be constructives to improve the race...
cordially

Bonjour Do!

Merci pour votre commentaire - je vais le lire immediatement!!
---------------------

Good morning Do!

Thank you for your comments - I am going to read it immediately!!
Voici mes conclusions:

1. Courdouan - bien sur.

2. Sans waypoint au Ile de Re, l'opportunite deja existe a passer par chaque cote.

3. Plus difficile a faire. Pour obtenir un trajet au nord du Drenec, on doit supprimer l'Ile de Groix. L'autre possibilite, que j'ai fait pour votre revue, est a creer un deuxieme waypoint au Phare des moutons, mais je crois ca serait trop complique a voiler!

4. L'arrivee a Brest qu'on peut voir au course maintenant (j'ai supprime le waypoint Pointe Mathieu) est la meilleure possible avec les regles du SOL ordi!!

Donnez-moi votre avis, svp.

----------------------------
Here are my comments:

1. Courdouan - of course.

2. Without a waypoint on Ile de Re, passing it on either side is already permitted.

3. More difficult to do. To make the rhumbline go north of Drenec it is necessary to delete the waypoint of Ile de Groix. Otherwise, you can add a waypoint (which i have done for you to see) at phare des moutons, but I think this makes the course unnecessarily complicated to sail.

4. The arrival at Brest that you can see now (I removed the Point Mathieu waypoint) is the best that can be done within the restrictions of how SOL sets up races.

Please let me know what you think?

Hello RC
I carefully read your conclusions regarding changes required and what suits me except the passage of the Isle of Re I therefore propose that as indicated in the attached image.
Thank you for your attention, your kindness, and most importantly, your patience
with me ....

Salut Do!

Je me suis trompee. J'ai pensee que vous avez voule permettre les bateaux a passer par les deux cotes de l'Ile de Re!

Je vais le "fixer" plus tard!!!

La seule chose a considerer... c'est que le trajet est tres restreint avec tous les waypoints, donc il existe la possibilite d'un grand concours de Royan au Brest avec les routers en avant est les autres derrieres... quelquefois un choix de route (rounding) donne un cours plus interessant!!

Mais.. celle est votre trajet/cours, donc je le prepare comme vous voulez :-D

----------------------------
Hi Do!

My mistake, I had thought you wanted boats to be able to go both sides of the Ile de Re.

I am going to fix that later on!

The last thing to consider...is that the track is quite constrained because of all the waypoints, thus is may well be that there will be a procession from Royan to Brest with those using softward in front and the rest trailing behind...sometimes choice of rounding makes for a more interesting race.

But, this is your race, so I will make it as you wish!!

:-)

While this one is still up for viewing as sol, there are a few roundings in this race that have the potential to cause boil-overs in chat. The three that need the most thought are:

Ouessant - is sitting offshore just enough that boats will sneak through. If the intention is to round the island we can nudge it a bit. If we're rounding shy of the the Island suggest moving it a bit further out so that the gap is clear.

Ile de Sein and Drenec are both Island-Hop candidates with gains big enough to rile the fleet.

Looks like quite the race. I like the 60' tri.
76T - please would you put your comments in French for Do?

Merci / Thank you for reviewing the race :-)

Bien sûr - Il s'agit d'un cas de détail SOL plutôt que de conception.

Pour éviter des virages contestés, je suggère que les waypoints à l'île de Sein et Drenec sont déplacé de l'autre côté. Sinon l'option existe de sauter.

A Ouessant, la bouée est presentment toute proche du plage, avec option de raccourcir la route. Il peut être déplacé sur l'île ou plus au large en fonction de l'intention des planificateurs.

Belle course et choix du bateau :-)
My English is what it is, I have trouble understanding the meaning of 76Trombone past interventions. I use Google translation to read or write on your site...
For cons, I agree undo my last change to the island of Ré and leave the choice of moving to south or north of this island.
Send me the new track please.
thank you all
Et voila!!! J'ai fait des petits ajustements pour clarifier le trajet et maintenant j'espere que tout est pret!!

YAY!!! :-D

Here you go!! I have made some tiny adjustments to clarify the route and now I hope that all is ready!!

YAY!! :-D

PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2025

Welcome back to Auckland for the 2025 PIC Coastal Classic! In partnership with the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club, Sailonline is thrilled to race this iconic 118nm dash to Russell. First sailed in 1982 and inspired by early powerboat runs, it’s now a legendary multihull showdown. This year we race Ocean 50 foiling trimarans—fast, agile, and built for offshore performance. Expect tactical challenges, adrenaline-fueled downwind legs, and nail-biting lulls. Finish line rewards? Bacon butties, rum, and bragging rights in beautiful Russell!

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon 2025 - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
