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 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

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.
