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.

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
