	This will be a nice addition to our list of Cape Horn events I think. If you search "Races" and the archive you'll find that over the years we've done part but not all of this circuit Cape Horn Resupply Cape Horn Weekend Cape Horn Impromptu and the Cape Horn 50-50 which was sailed in January 2010 (before NORs were available) which was a 999nm race from 50 degrees South in the Atlantic to 50 degress South on the Pacific side of Cape Horn in Clipper Ships. SO... we'll add this to our repertoire.

	RC, thanks I will indeed search Races before I apply my newly learned google earth skills to any other ideas I might have like e.g. a race though part or all of the S Chile archipelago. Clipping along

	Hoi Jan and all. Nice race proposal. The ingredientes are all there: tons of wind, tricky navigation around a “double triangle”, small but performant boat. What else do we need? The gun start, Jan! Sail Fair.

	Hi - Great race idea but as we have just done the mini6.50 in race 1 of the Leapfrog and will soon being doing Leapfrog 2 - how about picking a different boat?
Posted by RainbowChaser Posts 2656 Registered at 2009-06-14 09:44:50	2013-12-02 15:16:08 - Re: Ring of Fire
	bonknhoot - have you given some thought to a boat other than the mini 6.5 - as we are still Leapfrogging in it, as Mark says, it might be a good idea for you to pick something else. In my calendar up to the end of December there is space to run it (but it would need another boat). Otherwise, as you will have read, from January, the new Race Committee (headed up by sassy63) will be preparing the calendar so your race would then be scheduled by them at some point in the future.

The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
