Message from SOLer Chaos:

Chaos said:
We are trying to stream our track using the app raceQs on an iphone.

There are a number of issues that may scupper the plan:
Sailing out of Mobile coverage
Battery Life not lasting long
Available Data on my plan running out

So if we disappear off the tracker don’t panic.

You should be able to follow us here: (on the Vineyard Course)

http://raceqs.com/regattas/vineyard-race


There are 94 boats in all with 3 Minis and 6 other boat racing in our division
'PHRF 7'. The other 6 are 40 footers so it is unlikely we will stay with them.

Boats to watch are
USA806 (me)
Frogger (Josh Owen)
Valkyrje (Shea Thorvaldson … his is a Prototype with a kanting keel and extra
sail area so should be much faster)

About the middle of the next WX, most of us will pass between Long Island and Plum Island -- through an area called Plum Gut.
If you are thinking about setting DCs, you might want to check this post on solfans.org about navigating Plum Gut. :)

Rapallo to Nador 2026


Welcome to Liguria’s Rapallo, there where Zarathustra spoke - at length - to Nietzsche, for our first race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil. A number of our races in this new Magical Mediterranean series will be partnership with famous real-life races, but this first race is pure fiction - 780nm in refurbed IMOCA 60s, past or through the Balearic Isles and on into the Alboran Sea, to a finish off Nador on the Maroc Mediterranean coast.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
