	Can we actually do a race next leg without dividing the fleet in to two groups? A start start with 900+ boats at the same time will be really cluttered.

	I thought we ALL started at the same time. What happened this time was lots of "new" sailors joined after the start and the different weather and the many "new" late starters self divided the fleet into 2 divisions. However, SYC members vs NON-members is possible idea? Northern Hemisphere vs Southern Hemisphere, but this will stop all the KIWIS beating the Rest of the World. Real Life sailors vs Arm chair sailors Coloured boats in seperate divisions, but "MY" bright Pink boat will ave no competition!! (can't have any racial overtones here can we?) Veterns of 5+ races vs New sailors Good sailors vs Bad sailors is a very hard call to get right So only solution is "ONE MASSED" start. We can''t have "new" starters join at the front of the fleet can we??? Get real. Take a concrete pill, practice in this race even, if you are last, and start on time in the next race! RTFM!! Real racing is about winners! So expect to fall 400+ places if you get things wrong, like I have in the Doldrums, but I'm trying to improve now.

	Hi Wow, I personally like the ideas big time. Challenges between continents, countries, etc would be fantastic! Maybe if we ask Wiz kindly he could extend his ranking... ...one of the guys behind the game...

	Jakob: I think your getting over excited and are starting to "stutter" again. Do you need a concrete pill too? LOL (8^))))))))) (If you delete your stutters, you can delete this post as well!! Cheers) If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	I see the pso6ts here show real names, not boat names. look for NZL_PaulR currently languishing at a lowly P#494 If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara

Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
