OK,I'm a dummy. I can't figure out how to see the various polars before picking a boat! Not much time left. Can someone point me the right direction? Thanks.

If I understand the handicapping correctly, 'uprising' is performing best in these low winds. I do like max VMG at 180 to the wind!!!!
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Interesting boat, uprising, actually sails faster downwind at TWS 8kn than at TWS 11 kn. How they do that?

Here is my suggestion about the polar for "uprising", as shown in both the original presentation and in the SOL screen. This was requested by "WhyNot".
It does suggest an error may have been made in deriving the polars---and that the superior performance of 'uprising' may actually be due to a calculation error????

That makes sence! I noted the "strange behaviour approaching finish line. Saw a couple of uprisings on "long final" sailaing approx TWA 180. Thought maybe I could catch them - but No Way. Suddenly they went into OverDrive:) Saw this in Navmonpc (and I know Nnavmonpc may not be accurate) Also uprisings well behind caught up. I think the boats are performing according to the weird Polar.

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
