2013-11-07 10:34:35 - Lake Superior Lights 2013
Pic of the Course


Welcome to the 5th running of one of SOL's favourite races. Sailonline and lighthouses just seem to go together and our fondness probably stems from this race - the first to be purely round a group of lighthouses. This time of year, however, those who sail on Lake Superior in reality will be casting their thoughts back to 1975 and the tragic loss of life aboard the Great Lakes freighter, Edmund Fitzgerald... still a mystery.
<p>
Lake Superior (aka Lake Gitchee Gumee) has to be one of the most inhospitable bodies of water in North America so, raise a toast to the Lighthouses, shown in 76Trombone's blogpost and let's get ourselves ready to go lake-racing.

These are our waypoints:

Wisconsin Point

Michipicoten Light

Caribou Island Light

Stannard Rock

Passage Island Light

Outer Island Light

Chequamegon Point

Ashland Breakwater

Welcome to our 2025 Ocean Race Championships starting off with the classic 6900nm drag race from Cape Horn back to the coast of Brittany leading or following the boats of the Vendee Globe fleet. A new polar from the board of the BNH Design Partnership is being made available to you for this one, in the hope that aboard her you too will be able to cover 600nm in a day when the conditions are right!

AGage TIMED 100 Race 2025

SOL's gift to the memory of AGagewas a yearlong series of races circumnavigating Australia. This 100 nm race takes place in the St. Vincent Gulf off Adelaide to mark 12 years since the too-sudden end to the life of this remarkable SOLer. These were Aaron's home waters - he was a total competitor so... race to win! Please take the time to read the many tributes left in his memory. This is a TIMED race, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Tasman Double 2024 - Hobart to Sydney

The echoes of New Year's Eve parties have already faded away. The world welcomed the new 2025 and said goodbye to the old 2024. Still silently reflecting on what the next days will bring. For us and our Super Maxi 100 V2, it's time to return to Sydney, again waiting for us 625 NM of difficult sailing through the always demanding waters of the Tasman Sea. So goodbye Hobart, we will come back here again to celebrate another new year 2026 together. In the meantime, Happy New Year 2025!!!
