2010-05-08 17:18:35 - Admirals Cup?
How easy would it be to run a 'teams of three' admirals Cup type race (sorry I didn't use the race proposals pro forma for this but it doesn't really fit).

The idea would be to have three different rated classes - each team of three must be made up of one of each.

Placing would be based on teh combined score of all three competitors in the team.

Solo and teams of two could also enter the race but would not be eligable for the team prize.

The teams of three would self select and the race officer woudl be notified which boats were 'teamed up'. This could be done on the boat chat section or on the forum.

Any thoughts?

Best wishes

I quite like the idea, but it is difficult to implement for SOL.

Fun idea.

Why not let teams self-organise within a "normal" race? RC's practice race gang have proven the feasibility of using the forums to track such things :-) Not to mention the (mostly) French team effort.

It's not clear yet whether the live tracker is going to be up for this year's Swiftsure (May 29) but we have three boats in the system already that might do the trick.

TP 52
Riptide 50
Santa Cruz 52

Line honours / SOL ranking points would be the TP52 - boats willing to forgo points for a weekend race could round out the other two, or race informal handicap via the forum.

Swiftsure runs PHRF, with (provisional) ratings of -81,-63,-15 for the race (~24h) TP52 owes Riptide 42 min and SC52 154. Riptide Owes SC52 112 minutes...

As always, SOL ranking points would only based on elapsed time

If there is interest from the fleet, let's here it! Race organising (particularly when we can do it behind-the-scenes/on-the-fly) is user-driven.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Cocos to Sagar Island


Kapil Muni, incarnation of Lord Vishnu, founder of the Samkhya school of philosophy, disturbed from his meditation, in his wrath reduced the 60,000 sons of Sagar to ashes, as they dug the earth to retrieve the sacrificial horse that Lord Indra, the king of the Gods, stole off Sagar, thus creating the Sagara (ocean). Aeons later, Bhagiratha, a descendant of Sagara, asked Ganga to cleanse the ashes of the 60,000 princes, and her resultant torrential fall from heaven created the great river and where it met the ocean, the princes’ souls were washed and raised to heaven and Gangasagar (Sagar Island) was formed. So, let us join the pilgrimages to Kapi Muni’s Temple (see above) and race 2400nm from Cocos Island deep in the Sagara thence, in rather rapid Rapido 60s.

The Vineyard Race 2026


For the 16th consecutive year, our SOLers are invited to tackle this iconic 250nm overnighter. The classic route charges out through the sound, leaves Buzzards Bay Light to starboard, rounds Block Island to starboard, and heads home.

This year's weapon of choice is the Beneteau First 47.7. A proven performer since its 2012 SOL debut, this Farr-designed cruiser/racer excels at leading real and virtual handicap fleets. Success will demand sharp tactical navigation, so watch the polars closely to conquer the sound's shifting winds!
