2008-11-01 21:45:58 - polars for the 5 boats of Augustimånen?
How would we choose between the 5 boats if they are just names too us? :)

Can we have the polars or at least a general description?

Thanks.

I cannot seem to locate the blog with the polar info for the 5 boats. Can you help a frog out?

Ok si I looked at the polars, now what.
without picking a boat I can't look at the race course. Is it a light air race, upwind/downwind, reach ???
I can't see how to pick one boat. Any advice?

Try the new web-client. I think everything is ok there.

I'm sure it's no problem choosing a boat in the client, the problem is how can we know which boat is the best? It would depend on the wind when the race starts but we can't see the weather until we register. So... Catch 22?

But that is a part of the fun. Either wait and register/pick late or join early and hope for the best (as in real life) :-)

That all depends on that we would have any kind of weather forecast to base our decision on. Now the only official weather is in the client and that's not accessible before we choose boats.

Sure, we could use GRIB data but is that really the way to go?

New Ice Age 2026 - Browerville to Longyearbyen


Our 2026 long-distance ice-boating challenge continues with a second race in Arctic waters, now from Browerville, where we arrived less than a month ago, continuing east, back to Svalbard’s Longyearbyen, leaving Canada’s Ellesmere Island to port and Denmark’s Greenland to starboard. It’s about 2500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you more than a day or three, thus to complete your first (of several) online circumnavigation of the planet of 2026!

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
