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...
