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

Current Races:

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
