	I have seen that 68% would you like to participate in a teams based event. keeping short: RC: is possible to run a separate classification in the SWR for team/nation boat if many teams will be present? all: anyone want to challenge ITA_2011 as defender for team class? informative note: the ITA_2011 syndacate is discussing how to partecipate also this year, so who wants have still the time to organize the team(s) More detailed information will be provided later by the Sir Winston. These are MY open questions/thoughs regards Gilberto

	There are several "team boats" appearing in SOL from time to time and it reminded me of this thread, generated by Aaron back in 2011. A Nations Cup series.... I think this would be fab. Dear SRC - please will you consider this?

	Hi Joanne, yes I agree in many ways. Also, one of the advantages of team boats over individual boats is that by picking team members from around the world, one is able to get some sleep at night on ones midwatch. Hence another possibility might be a Teams Series. --- Last Edited by javakeda at 2014-01-04 10:57:32 ---

	I think a team competition could be a very interesting and fun race. A Nations Team Race is more of a challenge for smaller nations (we are used to it anyway) due to the smaller number of nationals. Nevertheless, I enjoyed greatly my only race with a team boat so I'm on board for any kind of initiatives around this subject. Nuno nacrr

	When you think about it, a team structure is the more realistic approach to ocean racing. Sure, the mini-650s are solo and there are dual-handed classes in many other races, but boats in most real races have three or more people aboard. One reason, of course, is that a real boat has many different things that need attending to. But another reason is that, for a race of any length, it makes sense to set a watch schedule so those aboard can eat and sleep as well as sail. All of which brings up the issue of how national a 'national team' needs to be. Yank that I am, my first thought in putting together a team from the USA would be to recruit the best skipper and tac/nav I could find -- probably from Australia or New Zealand. [Hey, it worked for Ellison/Oracle.] So, I suggest that the flag a team sails under should be a matter of team choice -- but subject to limitations. 1) I'd like to think there was some logic in the choice of the flag. Perhaps I am naive here. 2) The SRC, in their infinite wisdom, may choose to host an event for strict national teams -- an Olympics of sorts. But I would hope purely national events were the exception, not the norm..

Capt Anderson's Resupply TIMED Race 2024

Welcome back to the Pacific Northwest for a race that takes us around the southern end of Vancouver Island and up the west coast as we supply six lights. The leg starts in Victoria, and we sail into the open water of the Salish Sea. After making our way up the west coast we must go up the narrow channel to restock in Port Alberni. 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.

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!
