	It is without question that SOL will be running a round-the-world/global ocean race from the autumn of 2011 through to mid-year 2012. BUT what to call this race? As many understand, the major ocean races have entered into high-value $$$ contracts with commercial online games companies and have thus copyrighted the offical names. I thought it might be fun to have a competition (no prize save glory!) to name SOL's next global race. From now, 3 August 2011 until 31 August 2011 please submit your ideas. As they are proposed I will add them to this post for ease of reference. THEN on 31 August, providing there aren't too many ideas, we can run a poll to choose the name we like best! SO.. thinking caps on folks! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-08-03 16:38:16 ---

	RC: Forget the glory. Make a real prize e.g. 12 months SYC membership. Worth something and easy to give and administer. Perhaps other prizes: Longest time aground but still finished in top 100 boats. RTW SoL Name: "THERE and BACK" "Into the Atlantic and HOME", said by Sir Francis Chichester as he saied past Cape Horn and threw his southern ocean charts overboard. If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	Great Idea! Name: SOLer Wind 2011-12 (concept goes to Danny) I also like PaulRs idea... Podium gets something tangible. 1st: 1yr of SOL membership 2nd: A piece of SOL apparel 3rd: A SOL Bear Speaking of "SOL-aphernalia", it would great to have SOL logo decals. I would LOVE to have one (or more) on my car, backpack, dog !!! SP --- Last Edited by ShamrockPirate at 2011-08-07 22:15:59 ---

Abu Dhabi to Dondra 2020
Almost exactly five years ago, SOL, shadowing a real live ocean race, set a mighty fleet of honed and updated OD65s off on a gruelling voyage from Abu Dhabi to Sanya on the southern tip of China's Hainan Island. A month later, the race closed with half the fleet still out at sea. This year, this January, we re-enact this race, but are putting in a stop halfway, after about 2000nm, at Sri Lanka's Dondra, with the second leg scheduled to start a month later; both to count towards 2020's OCCH series. Fair winds!
