	A long time ago there was a sort-of convention established with respect to week races that are not buddied or mirroring real ones, namely that they start at the UTC equivalent of 1800/1900 LOCAL so that those in that region/country are able to start their local race in their evening. I think it might be the decent thing to do to keep to this here? Aaron's family are aware of our plans so, who knows, may participate in the series in some way --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-07-24 17:46:13 ---

	That would be a rare honour indeed... I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

Thanks WW, but it becomes intuitive after 46 years sailing around this part of the world --- Last Edited by Tyger at 2012-07-29 17:38:27 --- “We may have arrived on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now!” Martin Luther King Jr.

	Tyger - do you have the start/finish coords for the races yet? We don't have to go the full GoogleEarth creation route, providing we have start/finish/waypoint coords and in this case an explanation of what each leg represents (that's pretty much already done in this thread). What would also be useful is a note of the bounds for each race. The racing zone is a box with min/max lats/lons and it would be good to know how big the boxes should be for each race. At present we have only a couple of weathersystems for Australian races, so once we have the individual legs here, I can see what else needs to be set up. If it would help to have a quick Skype session to run through this, then just holler! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-07-28 11:58:17 ---

	RC - Been a bit under the weather with the flu (winter here) and sinuses have been running like a tap. Clearing up now. I plan to finish off Leg1, Adelaide to Melbourne details tomorrow (Sunday) and will included bounding box co-ords. Details of the other legs will follow quickly. I used Skype in the early days when sound quality was poor. Because I make lots of international calls, the telco package I have now includes calls to UK & USA at 2 cents per minute ($0.02) - dirt cheap & high quality. If you email your phone number, I'll call so we can co-ordinate race details. “We may have arrived on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now!” Martin Luther King Jr.

Shetland Winter Race 2022
A-OI!!! The cry should soon be ringing out in the streets of Lerwick as the Guizer Jarl and his crew, along with the other teams in the Up Helly Aa parade complete their preparations for the biggest fire festival in Europe. While Shetland continues to manage #COVID19 well, Up Helly Aa has been cancelled but this won't stop SOLers racing their Elan 410s this 383nm course from Aberdeen to be sociable in Lerwick Harbour. SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.

Sail Newport Timed Race 2022

Welcome to Rhode Island in our first TIMEDrace this year. In 2020 we raced on Maxi Trimarans, now we will see how fast we can cover the 87nm route around Block Island, Fishers Island and back to the clubhouse on MC 38 monohulls. The previous record of 4 hours 5 minutes and 21 seconds belongs to Kipper1258.
