Only one request. A Swan is a very comfortable boat IRL, but maybe something with a bit more speed than less than 8 kts top speed.
Now if we want a Swan, How about this one: http://www.nautorswan.com/swanlineproducts/tabid/295/SwanLine/80/boatId/27/boatVersionId/55/Default.aspx

Nice race, only some minor questions regarding the marks.

- should the belle ile mark and the SE mark be on land or are they intentionally offshore?

-with island markers in the middle of the island ranking will go up and down wilst passing these marks, if shifted to the outer point ,close to the courseline, the effect wil be less. It might save you a lot of questions/remarks about shifting rankings.

Agree with Tempest on both points. That might make it a bit cleaner. I also like the Swan80... do we have a polar for that? Should be a fun week race! Well done!

Tempest - those two marks are deliberately offshore :-)

Thanks for checking!

Captjack and ShamPir - at the moment we only have the polar for the Swan 36 which is why, I believe, Sunrunner chose it.

Do you have a polar/polar diagram for a Swan 80?? If not, let us know and we will hunt one down!!

Hi All,
One other consideration... with the existing polar, at max wind speed and optimum boat speed/angle, the race will still take well over a week to complete. Would this be considered in the ocean series or the week series given times and distance?

Several SOLers logged in as themselves rather than the SOL boat. These boats will now be de-activated and any further review of this course must be done as the sol boat.

Simply login by using the following:

usernamr: sol

password: sol

and use the link in my first post!!

Thanks all for comments/ideas thus far!

Haugesund to Reykjavik 2025


In late April 2016 Draken Harald Hårfagre, the worlds largest viking ship built in modern times, left her home port in Haugesund, Norway and sailed off for a challenging voyage across the North Atlantic Ocean.
The aim was to explore and relive one of the most mythological sea voyages – the first transatlantic crossing, and the Viking discovery of the New World, more than a thousand years ago. History tells us about the Viking explorer, Leif Eriksson, who discovered America over 500 years before Christopher Columbus. The expedition was all about exploring the world, just like the Vikings did.
Sailonline is racing the 1000 nm first leg, from Haugesund, Norway, to Reykjavik, Iceland in our Farr 400. Let us sail in the wake of history on this epic adventure!

It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!
