2010-03-31 09:22:49 - Proposal: Round Funen (Fyn Cup)
The Fyn Cup is held on May 28-30. Over 400 yachts participate making it by far the largest annual sailing event in Denmark.

The Sjaelland Rundt, which used to be the biggest race in Denmark, has dwindled to about a fourth the size of the Fyn Cup.

In the SOL environment the Fyn Cup should prove a demanding 24-36 hour challenge navigating the narrow straits where the vikings learnt to sail.

I am hoping the proposal attached is complete and to your liking.

Hello Mouthansar,

I will take a look at your race proposal this evening as I have no access to Google Earth at the office.

However, 28-30 May will be problematic, as the race committee has already scheduled two other real races around that time: Rund Skagen on 24 May and the Swiftsure on 29 May.

Of course, we can run it at a different time. But in general, I would like to signal that the agenda of real races in Europe and North America is really very crowded from June to September. I expect that the race committee will have to make choices from time to time between 2-3 real races for the same week or week-end.

Regards,

Francois

Hallo Francois
I didn't intend to mark a time preference for the race. Just indicate the actual time of the event.

Personally I would prefer any other date, since I will be participating in the real race :-)

With your approval I will write to the Fyn Cup organizers about SOL/Fyn Cup and hope to attract some more Danish sailors.

Took a look at your race. No problem.

I was thinking of organizing it as a week race on 18 May 2010. What do you think?

I think: "Superb"! Excellent preparation for all the Danish sailors I would hope to attract to SOL ... and myself.

Please inform me if and when the date is set, so I may advertise it.

For the sake of good order let me add that I have absolutely no affiliation with the real race or the organizers.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!
