	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!

The Beagle in Mauritius 2024

And west, forever following the sun, the Beagle went once more to next explore Australia, but since online we already regularly race the length and breadth of that wee dinkum continent’s coasts, we will delay launching our Tall Ship Class B until the Beagle reaches Mauritius, which she did on 29 April 1836. Darwin explored the island and its coral reefs extensively. We’ll better that by sailing some 450nm to Reunion and back, for a better appreciation of this remote archipelago, inhabited mostly by descendants of French and English colonists and Indian convicts and political prisoners.
