2007-12-23 15:02:15 - Future races
Hi, I think that a discussion about what races to run in the future would be nice. All users with a constructive opinion is welcome in the thread. When shall we race, where from, where to, what boat types etc?

Why not have a TP52 race circus. Short fleet race. One day race, 5 days..

The rolex cirquit we are doing at the moment is quite good. Im not sure if we have enough weather detail for "part of day" racing.
I would love to do a longer atlantic leg or a dive in the southern ocean.

I had mentioned the Round of Texel and maybe the archipelago raid, but then we have to fit in some sort of paddle mode :)

Some ideas (these would perhaps be attractive for possible US players):

Fort Lauderdale to Charleston Race
(http://www.stormtrysail.org/, 408nm, April 23rd @ 1400 EDT)

Newport to Bermuda
(http://www.bermudarace.com/, 635 nm, June 20 @ 1300 EDT)

Transpac Tahiti Race
(http://www.transpacificyc.org/, 3.571 nm, June 22 @ 1300 PDT, Honolulu next race 2009)

Volvo Suursaari Race
(http://www.espoosuursaarirace.org/, 160 nm, June 6 @ 1800 UTC)

Gotland Runt preliminary race in 40 feet "normal" boat
(so that those that a participating in the real race can fine tune our skills ;-)

This one looks like fun, perhaps a little long though...6-9 days in an open 60'.

This could perhaps be fun, in an exotic kind of way: CIRCUITO ATLÁNTICO SUR ROLEX CUP, Olivos/Buenos Aires - Punta del Este, Argentina/Uruguay, 14th Jan 2008.(http://www.yca.org.ar/Gallery/674.pdf)

Approximately 175 nm (those guys seem to have preetty shallow waters there).

Maybe we could even attract some South American players with us?

Round the world. Can it be done? I'd like to see live races running alongside real race events such as fastnet.
-----

We're doing it all the time (races alongside real races)! Last race was Sydney Hobart, we've also done Middle Sea Race, Fastnet etc.

Stay tuned - more races are coming!

Regarding Around the world, we might do it sooner or later...

Magical Mediterranean 2026 - Benghazi to Korcula

We return to Antiquity’s Middle Sea for a seventh celebration of all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil. This time we will sail from ancient Benghazi, whence once grain shipped continuously to feed Rome’s urban masses, to the medieval Venetian thalassocracy’s port of Korcula, birthplace of Marco Polo; 700nm in classy Club Swan 50s!

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Tall Ships 2026 - Stavanger to Aalborg


Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
