	Hi RC please find attached a suggested course for an upcoming weekend race. It can be run at any stage that you have a space. Either shortly as we are still getting strong southerlies at this time of year or later on in spring time (September October) Its based on a real course but we finish in the Marlborough Sounds and drink rum. Either cross the finish line and raft up or sail straight home and Send It after a few rums or during a few rums ) Cheers NZL_undercover Attachments Kapit-Chetwodes_Course.kmz (2.8 KB)

	FAB!!! Thank you undercover - weekend races are always needed... especially now as many of those who work full-time have even less time available for leisure and SOLing!!

	undercover - have just set this one upin the system and am pencilling it in for the weekend of 1 October. Is that OK with you? also, in the description you mention the boat-type "Class 40" - is that the same as First40.7? Forgive my ignorance but, as you know, I am a landlubber IRL!! The full list of boat-types currently available in SOL is in a sticky post at the top of this Race Proposals Forum.

	Hi RC The 1st of October sounds fine. Could we start the race Saturday night NZ time as most Kiwi's will be real sailing by then Class 40 is on the SOL list quite a new boat. Single or double handed ocean racer. Class 40 site http://www.class40.com/ :Beneteau First 40.7 --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2010-07-18 11:30:40 ---

	Hi RC Right log in this time 0700 1/10/10 sounds great. Please can we have the Class 40 not the First 40.7. I posted the 2 boat sites for your information. As you can see very different boats. You are doing a great job well done and thank you very much. I hope the dog is still getting enough walks with all this SOL work Cheers Undercover

	undercover - OK .. Class 40 is set as is 0700 utc on 2 October so marshall your Kiwi racers!!! Thanks for the "great work" compliement - its much appreciated!! I have had a steep learning curve and my name is spread a bit too much over the site at the moment but hopefully, as everyone gets used to chipping in and proposing races and commenting on the calendar in the Forum and generally contributing, I won't seem so ever-present!! P.S. neat pic.. which one are you? --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2010-07-16 12:07:22 ---

	Arms folded cap on. 0800 in the morning after starting the night before 18.30. I was in charge for a change and letting the others drive. Watching the puffs and waiting to take over. We got maxed out in 30 knots of wind about 15 minutes later trying to get inside a lighthouse......between Cape Jackson and the light offshore it got very exciting look at this --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2010-07-18 11:33:30 ---

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!
