Iceberg Dodge TIMED Race 2014
Climate change may have opened up some of the Arctic Ocean but these fjords are filled with as much ice as ever. Finding open water may not be required in our virtual world, but expect storms with deep blue calm inbetween. This is a TIMED race. We sail in our Linjett 33s on a course designed by NZL_Scotsman.

Agage's 100 Race 2014
SOL's gift to the memory of AGage was a year long series of races circumnavigating Australia. This was the final sprint of that memorial and now being raced to mark the 2nd anniversary of the too-sudden end to the life of this remarkable SOLer. These were Aaron's homewaters - he was a total competitor so... race to win!
