2013-04-15 17:49:25 - Nine islands, nine lights
Hi, SOLers,
I want to propose you a race around the small island I live, work and sail: Formentera.
Herewith I upload a pdf with the general concepts of the event.
I do hope SOLers accept to enjoy, virtually at least, our beautiful waters.
Please, ask me whatever you want to know about the project or the island itself.
Thank you for your interest.
Blow good winds for SOLers
Anchoilla

Hola Anchoilla - that really has to be one of the best ever race proposals I have had the honour to view! It is just brilliant... Gracias for all your work and preparation.

Just one small thing - please would you make the waypoints in Decimal Degrees to save me having to do that (to set them up in SOL they need to be Decimal Degrees and not Degrees Minutes Seconds).

:-D BRAVO!

Thanks for your kind words, RC.
For sure I translate the waypoints to Decimal Degrees.
Thanks elbetico, thanks Claudio.

I have translated the waypoints to Decimal Degrees and made some changes. I do hope you'll like this version.
Thanks.

Still as fabulous as when I first read it. It is such a pleasure to receive a quality race proposal :-)

We have a race starting this evening and I am setting up another for the weekend at the moment so I will set this up for preview over the next few days so we can make sure it looks good in SOL and then we can pick a date, based on the SOL Racing Year when it will be good to run. Do you have specific dates in mind for it?

Thank you again, RC.
I think a good date could be June 22th, starting at 8.00 UTC. It is week end and the race could take about 24h long.
But the date SOL team choose sure will be right.

I have prepared a .kmz document in Google Earth, following the SOL manual.
Thank you for your interest

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
