    A warning to our Old Poets Society critics.
    (in the form of a 'Tipperary')

    SOL's poets for posterity
    Write rhymes with great sincerity,
    And though their muse may seem obtuse
    With purpose simply to amuse,
    Mockers will be dealt with…
    with great severity!

    About horthes furthest northest.

    A horth is a horth of course off course
    Off course, up north, oh dear, that's worse
    These ditties have to rhyme you see
    At least so said old Hank Hain-ey
    And Mr Ed spoke too and said "Agree-gh"

  • Seven Seas of Asia
    Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals
    And here's another proposal from bonknhoot.
    Seven Seas of Asia.
    Not oceans (even though The Seven Seas are oceans).
    So not quite ocean racing, but long challenging races nonetheless in all sorts of climates and weather patterns.
    Apologies not quite the precision of kmz files, but enough info for OPS to create a course from.

  • Re: Santa Monica Nueva Regatta
    Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals
    Yep, Dan, that's another option and I agree with you on all points:
    - hate marks in the sea
    - more people using routing
    AND importantly
    - Qt Vlm router now uses 'SOL' interpolation (u/v), so wind in router matches wind in SOL exactly.

    So many words said, what can I add? We will miss you, Finn, your always good humour and matter-of-fact approach to life, and all the working together on set-ups, particulars, race descriptions, time lapses and all the rest. In your memory we plan to race a PYOC from Copenhagen to Svendborg. We will all think and talk of you more then. An announcement will be appearing soon.

San Juan Islands TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to the beautiful Pacific Northwest and the San Juan Islands. The Salish Sea is home to five different types of whales including Orcas, making this archipelago one of the best places in the world to see whales in the wild. The Cape 31 is a one-design yacht originally created for racing in South Africa, which has rapidly expanded with fleets around the world. This is a TIMED race, 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.

Casey Station to Neumayer Station 2024

It’s late summer now in Antarctica, the sun will still not set, but the Emperor chicks are hatched. Let’s yacht on from Australia’s Casey Station, destination Germany’s Neumayer Station! Our route takes us past Molodezhnaya Stancija, Russia’s self-styled capital of Antarctica, as well as Mirney (RUS), Davis (AUS), Mawson (AUS), Syowa (JAP) and Maitri (IND) down the full length of the continent’s east coast. It’s not much more than 2600nm, so let’s take Brazil’s Amyr Klink’s more stately and very comfortable 29m LOA Paratii 2 for this second leg of our six-leg high latitude adventure!

The Beagle in the Falklands

Having seen enough of the Cape Verdes, the Beagle sailed on into the west, and after a one-day stop off the mid-Atlantic isle of Fernando de Noronha anchored in the Bay of All Saints off the Brazilian mainland on the 28th of February. From there, the expedition very slowly worked its way onward and southward, surveying and exploring, to reach the Falkland Islands more than a year later. Notwithstanding that they only stayed briefly in the Falklands, in 2024 we will sail our virtual Beagle, a Tall Ship Class B, 470nm round and about the islands’ bays and straits, but mind the kelp forests that so impressed Darwin, don’t slow you down!

Flight of the Godwit - Wellington to Hegura 2024


Bar-tailed godwits can fly about 6500 nm without resting - further than any other known bird. They fly at about 32 knots, which means this 5000 nm leg would be done in a week. We won't be able to accomplish that, although we will sail our fast Maxi trimaran. This race is the first of three legs reflecting the migration routes of the bird, and the third leg of the 2024 Ocean Race Championship. The voyage promises to be not only a test of skill and strategy but an immersive experience in the beauty of the archipelagos of the western Pacific. Join us as we push the boundaries of seafaring prowess on this epic adventure. Let's fly like a godwit!
