2013-07-15 12:10:15 - Lac Manicouagan
Hi,

I think I have a proposition for a totally virtual race.
It could take place in the north of Quebec, on Manicouagan reservoir.
Why here? For me, because it's a very particular place on our planet. It's the place where a huge meteor has fallen, perhaps the one which has caused the extinction of dinosaurs.
Of course it's not really a famous sailing place, but why not?
Perhaps it could take place during "l'été Indien", so at the end of septembre or in octobre. Later it could be a bit frozen....
So, it's just a proposal and I will not be hurted if it's not considered as a good one.

I added a file with the polars of the Platu 25 as I have thought that it could be a good one for this race...

Salut cirrus!

Your race is now set up and ready for preview.

Please note that the boat chosen for now is Steinlager 2 as I am waiting on the new polar to be set up! Once the new polar is in the database then the boat choice will change.

To preview the race you need to log in as the sol boat:

USERNAME: sol

and then click here

Hope you like how it looks!

Hi RC,

Now, I will try to find the time to try the race....
The trace seems to be good, but not so easy according to winds direction.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
