	My grandfather serviced the lighthouses on the West Coast of Canada during the age of sail boats. This series is based on what he may have done all those years ago. The attached screen shot gives a taster of the series. It will be 10 races totally 1900nm. Some legs will be offshore, some through narrow channels. But they will pass all 50 lighthouses in British Columbia.

	A very interesting challenge would be to service the lights in the order of the SOLer's chosing. A maximum number of lights per leg and restricted port locations would be required. Probably difficult to set up, but very interesting all the same. One for the future perhaps.

	That's certainly a interesting concept. We have a similar race here in Holland. Its a 24h race and you are allowed to sail your own route around a great number of marks. The goal is to make the most miles in 24h's but you are not allowed to sail the same leg multiple times. It turns out to be a real puzzle race. Unfortunately at this point such a race is not possible on the server side. But the race is a challenge even if we make it a normal fleet-race. --- Last Edited by Jeroen Tiel at 2013-02-01 09:25:37 --- I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	Hi NZL Scotsman - I will be setting up the first leg of your 10-leg BC Lighthouses Series to run next weekend... once it is set up we can decide if we want it to run as a TIMED or a traditional fleet race. I will post a link here once its ready to be previewed by the sol boat

	The SECOND leg of this series is now set up and ready for preview. It will be raced as a timed race but for preview purposes, of course, it has to be set up as a fleet race (we adjust that just before opening the race). To preview the course (I suspect you may want to adjust a waypoint or two to optimise rhumbline) just log in as the sol boat: USERNAME: sol PASSWORD: sol and then click here Please note that for this race I have used nam_awip wx so it is higher resolution. Let me know what you would like to see adjusted, if anything!

	Access pass not active point. Otherwise looks good.

	I have checked the kmz and it says Active Pass, as does GE, rather than Active Point or Access Pass (altthough if you zoom in, there is also Lighthouse Point). It is therefore now changed to Active Pass. I wonder if there is a particular story to go with that light - there's no conventional reason for either of us to have made up or mistaken the name... in all the years of setting up races I have misspelled but never made up a waypoint! _____________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-04-22 09:35:11 ---

Kamchatsky to Tromsoe 2024

Just before the light failed entirely in Antarctica, Skip Novak managed to get his Pelagic 77 out of the ice and north up the Pacific to Kamchatsky. The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
