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.

At 4.0N 108.2E lies the island of Natuna Besar, Great Natuna, surrounded by at least 154 islands, of which 127 uninhabited, Indonesia’s Natuna Regency, and all around this archipelago, the Natuna Sea, bordered by Borneo to the east, the Java Sea to the south, and the Malay peninsula to the west, and extending north to cross a disputed international border with China into the South China Sea. And it’s a border that matters, there’s gas here! But why worry, let’s race – 2050nm in our goo’ol’ Open 60s in between the production platforms, prowling destroyers and submarines.

Panama Canal 2026


Sailing in the Panama Canal isn't the best idea, and organizing a race there is simply impossible and unfeasible IRL. In SOL, we have slightly different rules, so why not? A 36nm, frantic race awaits us, and the fast Dehler 30 OD will help us navigate the Panama Canal with grace.
