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?....

Lake Vättern PYOC 2026


Back in 2013, longstanding SOLer Musigny and his friend xthyra invited us for a three race tour of beautiful Lake Vättern in the heart of southern Sweden. After many years, we return there for a quick sprint from a start in front of the village of Brandstorp, either way around Visingso island in the middle of the lake, but PORT HAND ROUND a buoy off the Granna piers on the eastern shore and back, once again avoiding Visingso as best you can.
