2010-07-13 05:28:24 - Kapiti-Chetwodes Course
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

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.

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!!

:-D

P.S. neat pic.. which one are you?

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

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

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, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel 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 2025 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 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
