	It has been a while in the brewing but SOL's Raid on Lindisfarne race in Viking longships is nearly ready! Thanks to 76Trombones amazing production of a boat polar the wish of several SOLers to see what "SOLing" a viking longship might be like is very close to becoming a possibility!! For those interested, you need to log in as the sol boat: USERNAME: sol PASSWORD: sol and then use this url to load the race: http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/351 all comments, suggestions,tweaks and other ideas are very welcome as always!! ________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-06-12 12:49:20 ---

	The Lindisfarne point is 0.5 nm off the island. Is it intentional ?

	PYves - nopes not intentional at all. Thanks for the catch

	FR_captainchris just proposed the following date/schedule for the race (in the RNI Race Chat)... QUOTE R_captainchris 15:20: The attack (and destruction) on Lindisfarne was June 8th 793.... should the longshiprace start 3 days before? I suggest a "looting-ransacking" time of 2 hours at the lindisfarne buoy before allowing to return!!! UNQUOTE seems good to me ... any other views??

	It seems difficult to find the port(s) of departure for the raid on Lindisfarne, but an assumption of 3 days sounds reasonable. We did Bergen to Edinburgh (Leith) in 48 hours while wind was dying and motored in the Forth...

	Great to see this project coming along.(with thanks to 76T). I wonder if in the past there wasn't some competitive element in those voyages across the North Sea. Perhaps, on departure, someone shouted out "Last in to Lindisfarne is a sissy"

	For start port I always figured on strong and hearty Swedish Vikings and not those soft and lazy Danes, but what do I know? ;-D The polar seems to work as designed but still doesn't fit SOL client as at last check - squarerigger take II... subtle reminder to gods before this one goes live...

	A Swedish departure point would entail more than three days, IMO. PS Watch a handball game between Denmark and Sweden and you might reconsider

And the Swedes were mostly tucked away on the Swedish east coast --- Last Edited by NOR Jawik at 2011-02-22 09:14:19 ---

Welcome again to your chance to participate virtually in a second race of the California Race Week calendar, SDYC's challenging 243nm (as the seagull flies) SoCal 300 from Santa Barbara to San Diego. With a broad range of boats entered in the real race, virtual SOLers will have a better chance of hanging in there with the IRL fleet in our mighty Melges 40 than in previous years SOLing the Santa Cruz 52!

Mangalia to Sevastopol 2024

This time the Black Sea challenges us in a race on the 360 Nm route from Mangala to Sevastopol. On the way we will also visit Odessa. Watch out for the legendary pirates and their fast battle galleys. Nobody ever found them. Apparently they took them with them to the land and hid them in the forests. Let's hope that our Delphia 47 will be fast enough to escape the chase, otherwise we may end up in captivity.

CA 500 2024

In 2019, the organisers of the California Race Week introduced a new longer distance event for the world’s very largest maxi trimarans in town that year intent on setting new records for the TransPac Ocean Race on its 50th anniversary. This CA 500, 500nm from San Francisco to San Diego, was repeated in 2023, but this year it will be an online only event, as it is a lot more straightforward to get a fleet of Maxi trimarans out on the virtual water, than in real life.

Capt Anderson's Resupply TIMED Race 2024

Welcome back to the Pacific Northwest for a race that takes us around the southern end of Vancouver Island and up the west coast as we supply six lights. The leg starts in Victoria, and we sail into the open water of the Salish Sea. After making our way up the west coast we must go up the narrow channel to restock in Port Alberni. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!
