14 years old should have no problems with most of this.

Will need guidence in the maths IF you get into sight reduction tables. However the protractor and plumb weight can be used for distance off. Use trees, how far will it come if the treee was to fall down.

Horizontal angles = treasure hunt = 50m this bearing, 30m that bearing, then how far back to start?? or treasure here.

At 14 a lot of kids are aleady great dinghy racing sailors.

Push them!!
If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

:-) Dear Paul - this is Denmark - not NZ :-) Practical activities are almost unknown for many children here! Pushing pupils gives trouble...
Actually we used NZ-schoolsystem as rolemodel, but now it ends up in nothing, as usual here in Denmark :-(

Then you will have to fallback on the make it exciting, fast and add an element of danger!!,

Those that don't make it, MAKE THEM WALK THE PLANK!!

Also PEANALISE and child who does not speak like a pirate e.g.
"Ahoy there my teacher Miss"
"Time to cast off and go home, mee hearties"
"Pieces of Eight"

10.00 UTC will be fine (I wrote 09.00 earlier) I dont know anything about boattypes, but a boat with regular polarlines might be preferable. I am sure you have chosen a very nice boat :-)

Wouw. I only just saw this.

I was born and raised in Nordborg. Went to high school in Sonderborg. Sailed from Dyvig Marina ... and am racing the Fyn Rundt and Als Rundt regularly.

Count me in ... and count on me for supplementary local insights and information.

As for the waypoints - to make things more realistic:

Waypoint 1 should probably be moved a little to the West. I don't know whether Kegnaes will show up as an island or a peninsula. The latter is correct.

Waypoint 2: I don't think any Race Committee would suggest a direct route from WP 2 to 3. Southern tip of Langeland would be more realistic for WP 2; but also much more tedious. I suggest WP 2 be left as is for excitement :-)

Waypoints 3-5: Perfect. Except one thing: When I made the Round Funen Race a year or two back, the little peninsula sticking up out of Funen was shown as an island in the race geography. It really shouldn't be.

THANK YOU !

IT IS SHOWN AS A PEN. IT WAS ABLE TO CHECK DURING TSR!!!

EXACTLY :-)

SHHHH, DONT TELL OTHER SOL-ERS ABOUT "EBBEVEJ TO APPLE-ISLAND"

Soon I will open a new tread here - asking for helpers/mentors for my pupils... comming up in a week or 2.

Mouthansar - please would you give me SOL coordinates for where you think waypoints should be moved to?

Thanks!

I responded to the first .kmz posted on this thread. I'm not sure whether WP's have already been moved. Please point me in the direction of the latest instalment.

Much depends on how SOL decides to draw the map.
