Would it be possible to get the Lake Geneva race opened a bit earlier. It would be interesting to get to know the new boat well in advance of the race;)

I see no need to open this race in its proposed format any earlier than scheduled.

I am writing here on behalf of the entire SOL Management Team . Here for you and all those who are eager to "fly" on the water with the new AC72 polar is the answer :

Sol Marketing , with concurrence of the entire MT felt not appropriate to race on Lake Geneva at this particular time of the year . During last very few days a decision has been made : The AC72 polar test will indeed be raced , but it will be in the waters of Lisbon , and it will be TIMED race .

The last bit is imo excellent news , as it will allow multiple runs and testing of the polar in different TWS and TWA .

The race , that will NOT , repeat NOT be part of the Timed Races Championship , will most probably appear in home page sometimes tomorrow , and will start on the 27th at 1500Z . As now customary for Timed races it will remain open for about one week .

Hope this responds to your query and clarifies the situation . My personal apologies for this chamge not to have been displayed in Calendar earlier on.

Ciaooooooo

Piero

Piero, thanks for you and the whole management team for the info. I don't see the change of venue or race format a big issue, it's just as cool to get to race on the polar in Lisboa in a timed race;)

I've tried today the AC72 on he Lisboa race. Crazy polar, way too fast boat for sol. I think it would be nicer a fleet race to start with this mean machine. Foiling makes the boat really really strange.

Ciao !

on one side I have same feelings as you have ....
on the other side the advantage of being TIMED is that of being able to test the polar in different conditions and for as long as one week.

I'd love to see a transat run with this missile in perhaps less than 2 days !! ;)

the next mean of transportation faster than this would be a Boeing 767-300 ER ! ;)

Viva Piero and nacrr,

and

all SOLers.

Following some wishes I’m preparing a new race - an Ocean one, to be more precise - using this boat.

I’ll prefer to classify her more like a symmetrical wing implanted in two foiling bananas, with just one purpose: the need for speed!

Let’s find out her first in Lisboa!

The Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!
