It would help f you can prepare a kmz file with the coordinates for the start, any waypoints, and finish,together with a paragraph describing the race. The Race Description information will then appear with the race start info on the right hand side of the SOL Homepage.

That's pretty much it.

The full explanation of how to propose a race is in one of the "sticky" threads at the top of this Forum but probably not very visible. Here is is.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hiya

Yes that looks good - I have changed it slightly to include names, San Sebastian for the Start, La Vielle Lighthouse for WPT1 and Brest for the finish ... you don't need to do anything more to it!

For future reference, waypoints need to have names rather than numbers so we can find them again/use them again another time :-)

The Delphia polar is set up in the database so I will get this race prepared and post a link here when it is ready for preview (probably in a day or two).

:-)

After the race is previewed, it will be archived until it opens for pre-race practice, which is usually a couple of days before race start.

This is looking good!

I am just setting this one up and was thinking of the following phrase to be the "invitation" to go in the Race Description on the RH side.

"A group of Polish SOLers are virtually sailing round Europe and invite us to join them on their Delphia 47 for a XXXnm race across the Bay of Biscay, from San Sebastian to Brest."

Is this OK?

and now.. time for a quick preview.

To do this you will need to log in as the sol boat:

USERNAME: sol
PASSWORD: sol

and then once you have done that click here

SOL chart coordinates are a littl offset from those we find in Google Earth, so if you would like the waypoints adjusted at all, please provide the new SOL-coordinates here and I will adjust the race.

I rather like the sneaky peninsular blocking a straight run from La Vielle to Brest but you may not :-)

Let me know what you would like to do.

Once we are happy, the race will then be archived until it is opened for pre-race practice, usually a couple of days before the SOL Race start-time.

It looks great! Preview is OK.

Do you mean to put a waypoint in Baie de Douarnenez. It is good idea.
Should I change kmz file or you can add a waypoint?

Your proposition of invitation text is OK for me.

Thanks a lot!

Leg Two of our Round North Island Series is where the real challenge begins. After Mangonui, our SOLers face a demanding 491nm passage around the top of the North Island and down the rugged west coast toward Cook Strait. Long miles, exposed waters, and relentless tactical choices will test every SOLer. In our powerful Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed performer and true downwind flyer, endurance, timing, and smart routing will be key to success!

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 1

Welcome to Leg One of the Round North Island Series in partnership with SSANZ. The four-leg circuit of New Zealand’s North Island is a true test of short-handed skill, and it begins with the 150nm passage from Auckland to Mangonui. This year, our SOLers will be racing the dynamic Sun Fast 3600 – Jeanneau’s renowned racer-cruiser and a proven flyer downwind. A gentle opener on paper… but coastal tactics and shifting breezes will demand focus from the start!

New Ice Age 2026 - Browerville to Longyearbyen


Our 2026 long-distance ice-boating challenge continues with a second race in Arctic waters, now from Browerville, where we arrived less than a month ago, continuing east, back to Svalbard’s Longyearbyen, leaving Canada’s Ellesmere Island to port and Denmark’s Greenland to starboard. It’s about 2500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you more than a day or three, thus to complete your first (of several) online circumnavigation of the planet of 2026!

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!
