I agree with AGage who keeps signing in as "sol", if 76T's Defender is included in this fleet all bets are off.

I was just coming back to say that was me - dont even know why I had a sol login then - and I only use it for testing things in the client in as many races/boats as I can 8mR, but not workin gon that now! ;-)

That's the one without the spin ;-) The lobe is ability to chase apparent wind deep. It's still forward of beam at TWA140.

Polar is "raw" VPP output. No runs below 20deg (vs 30 for the IMSYC fleet).

Actually, it's tough to get a spin to perform due to some hiccups in the rule. Not sure if the IMSYC group found/fixed/plugged the holes, but the Lines Processing Program bases weight of the rig assigned to the main (%mast+sail) as .5*foot-length^2 rather than .5*foot*luff... Additionally, the weight of jib overlap doesn't measure in.

This means that you can put a 60m wing mast with no headsail on the boat for "free" apart from higher centre of effort, while a long boom really kills you. Hang a "blade" tacked just in front of the mast with whatever overlap you want (unconstrained by the rules, we'll rig a boomkin) and you have a lightweight rig with tons of power.

Here's the "wide" version of the minimum displacement hull.



The overall flare is a single plane defined by the depth requirement and prismatic coefficient. Bow/stern flare adjusts to meet displacement. A knuckle in the intermediate station ensures convexity with all flat surfaces. Righting moment at min displacement is ~40% more than the min beam version. Submerged hull is identical. This is the symmetric version.

Sorry - a bit heavy for SOL... anyways, you can see I had fun.

AGage,

Nice new tool that "Polar Explorer" well done mate. Fantastic range of tools you have developed thanks a lot.

Very welcome UC...

Is comments like yours that make it entirely worth the effort to publish - although obviously once written for personal use its not a whole lot more work to make public, but I also want to ensure that others have access to anything I write - I feel such an open policy is the fairest... And if something I write helps me, I wouldnt feel the same if I did well unless it was freely available...

Ideally I would like to make a few of them 'browser applications' so that Mac and Linux users have equal access ;-)

Next Race: 00d 00h 00m

Current Races:

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
