	RC, I am not sure about the Dubai - Muscat race. If I remember correctly, there was a lot of complaining about the lack of progress due to the poor wind conditions in both races.

	Agree on Dubai-Muskat due to having raced it twice in a short span. (I thought it was an interesting race though Anyone want to find another week-race in the archive to suggest for that slot? A few of us have been talking about the possibility of scheduling a "weather decides" race where the start date is known ahead of time but the course is decided pretty last minute to take advantage of interesting weather patterns (similar to how the Newfoundland-Azores played out). This obviously needs timely input from some of our race-design team and extra work for RC... Once the race was open for reg it would be firm.

	How would you fancy a trip through the Mergui Archipelago instead? Too hard, maybe? Philip Attachments Mergui_Run.kml (12.4 KB)

	Schakel - oddly enough The Horn has just prepared a four-race Asian series .... could easily tag your Mergui run on to the end of that. What a coincidence eh? The week race needs to be something relatively DC-able I think - aimed as they are at people who don't have much time to SOL. I agree about the Dubai-Muscat... so I have removed it from the slot.

	I am late here but that big triangule off the coast of Brazil that I sent you while back is a week long race (on our big 125ft Cat). Just an idea

	zero - I was just thinking that you submitted your race a while back... lets go with that one Thanks!! Let me set it up over the weekend and I will come back to you via email if there are any questions (otherwise it will be to let you have a brief sneak-preview before the race is archived until we use it!!) Do you want to give it a fun name (rather than Salvador-Noronho-Trindade)?? I have just amended the calendar and put in the conventional name.. do hope you come up with a kewl alternative one though!! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2010-09-10 21:53:29 ---

	Joanne, something "fishy" here: Baltic Blitz 2 is West Coast of Baltic (going NE) Baltic Blitz 1 is East Coast of Baltic (goind SW) or am I being daft?

	Hi Svein - Baltic Blitz 1 starts in Travemunde and finishes in Tallinn going via waypoints at Greifswalder Oie, Gdansk Basin, Baltiysk, Klaipeda and Cape Kolkas. So.. deffo heading NE!! Hence the location description of Baltic E Coast. Would you prefer something else? As for BB2? I haven't set that up but checking the kmz it is deffo a SW course from Estonia to Denmark!!

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!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.
