Posted by CKHANSEN Posts 31 Registered at 2011-01-23 14:52:08	2011-01-24 21:33:47 - Florida-Bahamas-Florida Race
	UPDATE 2 - I would prefer to use a j30, since this is close to the boat I race on now. The coarse I have proposed is 222.2NM. I can modify the start/finish lines so they are outside the inlets to the ports. So it can be one continuous race, not a problem. Thanks for the input and advice. If possible, it might be best to have the race before hurricane season (June1-November 30) I am not sure how the weather is done in the simulator, but wouldn't be good to race in 100+knt winds! We usually don't do any long races during hurricane season, just short "sprints" between inlets. This is usually our Points Series races. UPDATE - Google Earth Map added.* This is a 3 leg race. Leg 1:Leave Port of Palm Beach Florida, arrive in Freeport Bahamas. Leg 2: Leave Freeport Bahamas, arrive in Port of Miami Florida. Leg 3: Leave Port of Miami Florida, arrive in Port of Palm Beach Florida. I think it would be interesting to actually leave from and arrive in the actual Ports. Leaving out of the inlets and arriving in the inlets. Perhaps limiting the race to 50 boats Any sailors in Martin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach Counties? --- Last Edited by CKHANSEN at 2011-01-26 13:25:44 --- --- Last Edited by CKHANSEN at 2011-01-26 20:48:30 --- St. Lucie - Jupiter Ocean Racing Association (SJORA) Attachments Floroida_-_Bahamas_-_Florida_SJORA.kmz (2.3 KB)

	Would love to submit a race proposal with the file sharing program/website. Doesn't work for me though, whatever I try. Oh well, what now? Thanks. St. Lucie - Jupiter Ocean Racing Association (SJORA)

	Hi CKHANSEN - that looks great. Super complete proposal and a nice course as well. I think a bunch of the usual helpers are super busy, so the silence is not a commentary on your race for sure. Playing to SOL's strengths, we most often join up legs under a certain length to make one longer race, and your course would probably suit that. One advantage is that time-of-day problems worldwide sort of average out a bit. Do you have a boat suggestion? It seems like we always end up in Seacarts when we visit the Bahamas!

	CKHANSEN - thank you for your proposal. Its great to have another race from the other side of the pond!! As 76T said you/we do need to pick a boat/polar to use. I can, in any event, set up the race in the server with a random choice of boat (which can be changed) and then you can see how the course will appear with the three legs amalgamated into a weekend race of about 218nm. Once we have the boat type chosen, the race can then be archived until programmed in the race calendar. I don't know if you have looked in the Race Calendar Forum yet, but when you do you will find the Current Calendar as well as draft calendars for upcoming months as/when posted so can see what is on the cards and what is being proposed. All comments/suggestions are v welcome! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-01-26 17:58:24 ---

	I have set your race up in SOL - all that is needed now is a fun description that will appear below the race name in the RH column. Your race has been called CKHANSENS's TRIO as I thought that sounded fun too.. but obviously the name can be changed to whatever you prefer. To see your race, just log in as the sol boat. USERNAME: sol PASSWORD: sol and then use this url: http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/350/ Once you have checked and like what you see, and we have added the race description, then the race will be archived until we use it. Pre-June for sure!!

	hehe RC your three-legged race is missing a leg The run back up the coast would be a fun one, and maybe going around Virginia Key or a buoy in the harbour would add something?

	Yeah i just noticed that. Rainbow, can we have it finish at Port of Palm Beach? That means we would have to pass a mark to the west out side the inlet to Port of Miami. St. Lucie - Jupiter Ocean Racing Association (SJORA)

	&^, I orginally had it into the Port of Miami and out again and up the coast. I am sure it is not a big deal to put in the final leg up the coast. I have tons of ideas for races around here. They are short and some longer ones. St. Lucie - Jupiter Ocean Racing Association (SJORA)

	oooops!!! Please refresh screen and now look I have also added a waypoint at Miami Beach.. is that OK? --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-01-28 18:24:38 ---

CA 500 2024

In 2019, the organisers of the California Race Week introduced a new longer distance event for the world’s very largest maxi trimarans in town that year intent on setting new records for the TransPac Ocean Race on its 50th anniversary. This CA 500, 500nm from San Francisco to San Diego, was repeated in 2023, but this year it will be an online only event, as it is a lot more straightforward to get a fleet of Maxi trimarans out on the virtual water, than in real life.

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

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!
