Posted by Gilles Posts 127 Registered at 2009-07-18 11:05:22	2017-03-03 17:57:41 - First SOL meetup in north Europe
	UPDATE! Just recognized the vote are anonimous :o! Please left a short comment saying who will join( I am guessing the 4 eheh) and WHERE you would like to make next! (or contact me if you want to stay anonimous of course) Dear friends, I am glad to invite you to the first SOL meetup in north Europe! the choosen location is in DK as it is easier to link to the event to the biggest regatta around the island of Fyn http://palbyfyncup.dk/ The circuit is well known to all the Soler as we raced few times around that island. The location is also easily to reach with plane, car, train, boat. To accomodate the higher number of partecipants there are 3 basic options: 1) Only dinner (on 26th or 27th May) 2) Dinner + Racing weekend with Soler´s boat. 3) Dinner + Racing weekend with a charter boat. Option 1) is open to all the SOLers that want to have a great evening Option 2) is open to all the SOLers that will join with her/his boat and would like to enter IRL race and take some SOLer on board.(cruise in company style). You will get a first class crew of experienced SOLer and expenses cover for the race entrance. ( to be shared between crew on board) Option 3) is open to all the SOLer that do not have a boat but would consider to charter a boat (40ft class) for the weekend. All expenses will be shared between friends on board. To give your comment, ask question(s), submit your NOT binding feedback on which option you would like to follow please contact me. As for privacy reason I do not have access to the SOL maildatabase please share this invitation to all your friends. Any question, anytime to me. Best regards and goodwind waiting your reply.

	Gilles It would be really fun to meet other SOLers in DK. I will think hard about this. Don´t think I´m intersted is sailing (I´ve done 9 Gotland Runt, so it´s not that), but I have to see what I will be doing at the time you have suggested. I will be back ) Robert Robert

	Considering joining you guys for that quite little drink 25/26/27 May. What would be the airport, how far from the venue (hire car, train, taxi ??) and where might we kip?

	was not a surprise that the most answer I got were "no boat?, no party!" Accidentally the 2 options that I have to grab a boat has sinked in the last weeks.... So I have to postpone this on a next future. Could be that I will go there anyhow as there is holiday in Germany. However the plan B is the following: I will attend to the presentation of SOL during the buddyup with the Silverrudder, same location, end of September. The local SOL crew is already up and running for that. So stay tuned, there WILL BE a SOL party in DK this year! Good wind Gilles --- Zuletzt bearbeitet von Gilles am 2017-05-13 15:03:13 ---

	Just remember... The Silverrudder is the 22. September and placed in Svendborg, only 70 km south-southeast of Bogense. All SOL'ers are welcome to join with the SOL team. Just bring your computer, laptop or whatever. We have our own stand, our own internet connection and will be racing against the IRL fleet with an X-99.

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia

Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.

Race to Up Helly Aa 2026

A-OI!!! The fiery spirit of Shetland’s legendary Up Helly Aa returns, and Sailonline’s annual race to Lerwick is once again upon us. Covering 383 nautical miles from Aberdeen, SOLers will tackle winter waters steeped in Viking tradition. This year, we race the classic Frers 33, a proven cruiser-racer born from the golden era of offshore racing and still a sturdy performer both on the virtual and real water. Can you master the course and reach Lerwick in time for the flames?

SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.

Red Eye - Hobart Convict Run 2026

Back in 2010, one of our SOLers of the first hour, AUS_Scott76, came up with this ‘Convict Run’ out from Hobart, past Cape Raoul and the penal colony of Port Arthur, round Tasman Island, up and back down the east coast of Tasmania, to finish with a tight technical run – so Scott called it – up the picturesque D'entrecasteaux Channel, home to Hobart once again. It’s 250nm, ideal for a bit of ‘Red Eye’ in comfortable Finngulf 43’s, and if the original idea was to pick up some convicts on the way for a bit of R&R and sea air, you may always drop’m back before returning to Hobart!

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville

Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!
