    I would prefer a modern boat (as I wrote it in my post ;=) ).
    Orange could be a good choice for all these routes.
    The 90' mono too.
    But not the mini 6.50. :+))
  • the great historical roads
    Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals
    I'd liked SOL would invite us on the great nautical roads, these commercial roads which were sailed by clippers and even bigger sailboats with four or five masts. Those roads which now are becoming record roads sailed by giant multihulls.
    I'm speaking about :
    -road of gold : New York to San Francisco.
    - road of Guano : Valparaiso to Le havre.
    - road of cafe : Brasil to Le Havre.
    - road of the : China to London.
    - road of Discovery : Cadix - Grand Canaria - San Salvador.
    (I have a preference for Valparaiso to Le Havre, because my grandfather sailed it).
    These races could be done on Orange or a VOR70 or a 90' mono.

    For example, the Round Britain : place another buoy more south close to the coast and the debate is closed.
  • Re: rounded and disrounded
    Board » General Discussion
    I was surprised to see that my rounded buoy was disrounded later. But it's logical with the new rules, to avoid that type of course. If I had known the rules I wouldn't have done that.
    But I completely agree with the precedent posts. If you really want people to take a specific route it's more simple to place more marks.
    Last thing : as Gilles, I don't understand the necessity of such a rule. I wasn't there when the subject was discussed, but I really don't understand. Everybody should be free to take the way he wants, as long as the marks are "rounded". Isn't it supposed to be a strategy and routing game? Or a little train behind Brainaid?

    It works now. That's stupid, but I guess it wasn't working only because I wasn't registered in any race.

    It refuses my name or my password.
  • Proposal : Quingdao to San Francisco
    Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals
    We just made that race on VR with maxi tri as pirats using the Jules Verne interface. It's a very interesting race with several options.
    Start : Quingdao (China).
    Finish : San Francisco.
    waypoints : no wp; race completely free.
    boat : a fast boat (tri, cata or VOR70).
    duration : 10 days.
    For the rest, let the crew do his job.

    Discovered I have no problem with Safari. So, the problem comes from Firefox (3.6 for Intel Mac).
  • problem with ruler tool
    Board » Technical Support
    I cannot quit anymore ruler tool with a double clic. I have to clic onto the icon again and consequently cannot put a course onto the map.
    (Mac OS X 10.6.2).

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
