	Due to the sad death of Swedish ocean racing legend Magnus Olsson I think a memorial race would be nice to have. Auckland - São Sebastião or Cape Town - Fremantle from the 1997-1998 Withbread would be cool... He raced and won this RTW race with EF Language...

	I propose a race from Qindao (China) to Rio.....The race he won with a VO 70, that I´m sure 76T can provide us with the polars for that boat....Robert Robert

	My vote is for Quindao - Rio with a vo70. That leg defined Olsson for me. Willing to take a risk to win despite having a slower boat.

	Would be lovely to get this one set up... we have a little time in hand as we have yet to close the NYC-SFO and... a lot of folks still are a long way from the finish. That will probably close when a good % of racers are finished but it cannot stay open indefinitely but will allow time to get the right polar ready!

	Nice to see a tribute here as well for Magnus Olsson. A great sailor and a superb ambassador to the sport of sailing. I think the Quidango race is more then fitting as well. I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	Estamos tristes por la muerte de Magnus , una gran pérdida para la nautica . Mi voto es para Qingdao

	Well, are we doing it?
Posted by RainbowChaser Posts 2656 Registered at 2009-06-14 09:44:50	2013-04-29 08:29:32 - Re: Magnus Olsson Memorial race
	The NYC-SFO is closing today (Monday, 29 April) and if you look at the Current Calendar we definitely have space for an ocean race... maybe after next weekend so this week's focus can be on Jubilant's first qualifying race. All we are waiting on is a boat choice I think. The options are: 1. new VO60 polar (to be created) 2. old VO70 (not VO70v4) polar 3. Steinlager 2 polar 4. any other boat in SOL's boathouse I will get the race set up - The Magnus Olsson Tribute Race. Please will someone volunteer to draft up a brief Race Description - one or two sentences to introduce the race to appear with other Race Info on the RH side of the SOL Homepage? Are there any websites where we can publicise what we are doing? It would be lovely for the wider sailing world to know I think? ________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-04-29 08:30:45 ---

	Hello RC ... for me the important thing is to do a race in memory of Olsson, about the route all those proposed are OK. You could even organize a challenge in 3 or 4 legs along the routes of his most famous races. Fair winds Carlo Alberto SCARABOCCHIO

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.
