	Hei all Simo aka Smo 41yr. Helsinki, proud to be finnish. Sailed Finn-dinghy as young, club races with small boat. Inferno 26 and ORCi offshore and track with Tempo 28, OD with X-99 and First 31.7 also Suursaari race. And Archipelago races with Tempo 28. And some cruising with some other boats. Even rigged rowing boat at summercottage to sail. And sea kayaking of course lately more. As doing offshore ice skating might test some ice sailing or kitewing ice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH7PH9ktkLY --- Last Edited by Smo Smo at 2010-11-01 06:59:13 --- --- Last Edited by Smo Smo at 2010-11-01 07:00:32 ---

	Hew, hew565: I live near New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Ground zero for Katrina and the BP oil spill I started sailing in college and went straight to Windsurfers. I sailed 470s for a few years, then had kids. Now sail dinghies and crewed on a Corsair tri for a while. I try to avoid the big keel boats these days I also build and race IOMs and Victoria model sailboats and have learned much since i started sailing at SOL!

	Hej! Magnus (alias number1), male, 52 with wife and two kids. Norwegian, sailing falsely under a Swedish flag because I always lived in Gothenburg, Sweden. Raced Swedish two man dinghy Trissjolle from 15 to 25, windsurfing from 20-30 and Trissjolle again from 45. Home port or rather beach is Frillesås 50 km south where we have a summer cottage.

	Hi All. Just found this site and LOVE IT! Probably have to quit my job to be able to virtual sail more! Grew up sailing Stars, Lightning, Snipes. Did my first Annapolis-Bermuda at 14. Lots of offshore deliveries. I peaked my career with the J-Class beauty SHAMROCK V before going back to med school. All good stuff. Looking forward to being on this site frequently this winter. Cheers, William

	Well, this is me... Jepsom 39 years young. Been on the waters since I was a small kid, but not allways sailracing. From 18-19y I mostly sailed archipelagoraces and oceanracing with X-95 and Express. This year I´m sailing on a X-35. This SOL-stuff is like a drug... Fair winds! /Jepsom

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!
