HiSmo - that looks like a lot of fun! Can you please perhaps come up with a course and waypoints? I couldn't find that while reading-in. What I did find was this:

QUOTE
The concept
The concept is simple. Each team sails intensely day and night on a Formula 18 (5,5 m catamaran), along a unique course drawn among 100.000 rocks and islands. On the way, the competitors have to find 20-25 checkpoints located on islands (pontoons, beaches, boats, lighthouses) and described in the "Archipelago Raid Book" (latitude, longitude). The teams are free to choose their route between two checkpoints.

This race can be just great, I saw the irl race on tv last year, and looked like a very nice one, and perfect for some practice races very funny too.

Smo - if you look at the thread called "Nine Islands, Nine Lights" you will see the Rolls Royce of race proposals. I don't expect you to follow that example, but something resembling that suggested by the Guide on How to Prepare SOL Race Proposals would be excellent!

Kiitos.

Here is that Archipelago Raid race by GE, if it's still relevant. Smo, I'm afraid that we created a "monster". . . 481nm / 21 wp's . . .

As the website for this race has been completely hacked ... do we have a date for it? or is it up to us when we run it? I thought it was up and coming?....

Skimmer Dragonfly - India to East Africa 2026


In the autumn, when the rains stop and the tourists thicken in Goa and along the north western coast of India, globe skimming dragonfly climb to the skies (up to 1500m) to catch the high-altitude ITCZ winds and glide south west to East Africa. We’ll stay at sea level, where alas the winds will be less predictable, and race them there, the whole 2400nm of the way, in Carkeek 40s.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
