	In addition to zero's comments: brainaid's static polar list is now pretty incomplete as he's moved to the "toolbox" that presents the data much more nicely but is only accessible "live". Multi-boat-type races are possible, but seem to lead to more friction that usual... SOL is very realistic in this respect! I'd love to see some of the classic mixed-fleet races run. 86 other boats signed up for the Sydney-Hobart even though everyone knew that Wild Oats was going to win... There's no official capacity to handicap races, but we can/have posted unofficial results before. For last year's IMSYC I ran ORC-style handicapping. For a shorter race we could post "routed" corrections based on the actual weather. Handicapping the IMSYC Challenge Start a new thread for your race, and let us know what boats you are interested in. Lots of people happy to assist! [Edited so url did not force post to be too wide] --- Last Edited by aaronadmin at 2012-02-13 06:35:43 --- Attachments Longship.jpg (36.1 KB)

	Thanks 76T, I am very used to the "mixed fleet" concept having spent most of my younger racing life on the Chesapeake and there would be quite the variety. I don't know enough about the polars to be able to tell if you could predict advantage of one choice over another for a particular race. At this point, it seems prudent to just stick with a "typical" single choice for a given race. That said, I have really gotten into the race design stuff and already have 5 in the list (not finished yet but definite concepts). So here is another question. Can SOL replicate anything I can see on Google Earth? I am specifically thinking of a canal. I scrolled over to the area I am interested in within an active SOL race but did not see the water feature. Is more detail available for the "race graphic" once the SOL Gods look at the proposal? I don't want to waste their time if that is not the case. Thanks again for the tips. This is definitely brightening a cold, rather dismal winter for me!

	Where can I see the diagram for the Tall ships class C ?

	The best way to see which water features are displayed/displayable on SOL is to move around the globe and use the Max Zoom function from within an already-open race. There are limits as to what can be displayed but the detail of the Great Lakes area is pretty decent - not sure about canals though! We can set up a set "view" probably as we will be running the Chi-Mac this year (hopefully maybe even as buddies with the Chicago YC) so it can be set up ahead of time. As for Tall Ship polars, here is one image of all five together Hope this helps. _____________

SOL's Bermuda Triangle TIMED Race 2023
Inspired by the America’s Cup racing in Bermuda, this is a fun triangular course of 90nm, which we originally raced with psail and bonkhoot’s collaborative polar for the AC72 foiling catamaran. Having tried the course in the more pedestrian Open 60 in 2021, this year we return to the AC72, in fact to the MODIFIED AC72v2, modified to remove the inconsistencies that obtained from the original interpolation of the limited data issued by the AC 2003 Principal Race Officer in connection with penalties determination. This is a TIMED race, which means you get multiple chances to try out the ramifications of the revisions. Be careful though, the polar remains a handling challenge with major stall-out potential!

Christmas to Christmas Island 2023
Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, so prepare your Volvo70s well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2023 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2023. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Finland-Sweden Archipelago Raid 2023
In 2013, SOLer "JakeS" in cooperation with "Smo" created his own version of the extreme Archipelago Raid catamaran race. The real race through the beautiful Finnish and Swedish archipelago is considered a "nightmare and a great adventure", so in our sixth run of this challenge at 415 nautical miles, our determination and skills will be tested again! This year, we changed the Italia14.98 to a Cape 31. Take care when cornering and brake early enough.
