Posted by Anchoilla Posts 12 Registered at 2011-04-22 15:47:56	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.

	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). BRAVO!

	Thanks for your kind words, RC. For sure I translate the waypoints to Decimal Degrees. Thanks elbetico, thanks Claudio. --- Last Edited by Alfonso Biescas at 2013-04-15 21:26:07 ---

	I have translated the waypoints to Decimal Degrees and made some changes. I do hope you'll like this version. Thanks. Ancho Attachments 02.Nine_islands.pdf (1.5 MB)

	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 Attachments Nine_Islands_nine_lights.kmz (4.8 KB)

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
