This thread was moved from the category General Discussion.
Dear all,

Race suggestions are of course welcomed from all members of the SailOnline community.However, it is a privilege only of those with SYC Membership to design and submit formal races.

To propose a new-to-SOL race, simply use




and then post the resulting kmz file, together with a brief description of what you propose in a new thread in this Forum.

then

Once you have your Google Earth file, please start a thread in this Forum with the race name as its title so that SOLers can see your proposal.

That was fast. Your race is almost ready to go!

I would like to have a test run in January before the real thing at the end of June.

I was thinking of starting it either on Saturday 23 January as a week-end race, or on Tuesday 26 January as a week race. Do you have a preference? Later dates also possible of course.

What boat(s) would you like us to use for this race?

Any preference for the starting time (keep in mind that there are players all over the world)?

Regards,

Francois

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
