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?

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)!
