That was already done too :-) I happened to be reading emails when the thread-alert message came through! Can't promise to always be so prompt :-)

Anchoilla - I will shortly be closing your race as it is now set up and it needs to be archived.

As for the homepage information, if you look back through the different entries, perhaps we can come up with a nice picture (from your files or a photo) and then write a little about the area/course where we will be sailing.

It is not urgent for now but would be good to have it drafted and ready :-) Your proposal already has all the information, so the piece perhaps needs only to be a few sentences taken from that?

:-)

Once you have a draft I am obviously happy to help tidy it if you think that is needed.

HI RC,
I think we have the reace ready to be archived (thank you for giving me the opportunity to test it) Everything is all right.

I'm sending you some pics. Perhaps they are good to give an idea how the island is.
Here is a link to some Formentera's video, although there's not much sailing in it.

If you want, we may take some lines from the pdf I sent you in the beginning. But if you prefer it, tell me how long has to be the text and I write it talking about you think could be interesting.

Hi RC,
since the race is held in Europe, better it starts daylight.
Then, a good chance should be saturday 22th, at 9 or 10 UTC.
But if SOL thinks is better another date and hour, I accept it.
Thanks

Hope you are ready ... I will be putting your race on the homepage shortly!

We are, as you will have seen, starting on Friday morning (21st June) for two reasons (1) there is another race starting on Sunday and I would like your race to get good focus, and (2) the forecast is currently quite light and folks in other timezones need a chance to complete it over their weekends too!

I will now prepare something for the Homepage, linking to your introduction and artwork :-)

Magical Mediterranean 2026 - Benghazi to Korcula

We return to Antiquity’s Middle Sea for a seventh celebration of all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil.

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!

Tall Ships 2026 - Stavanger to Aalborg


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.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

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!
