This thread was moved from the category Races.
AHOY ALL MATCHRACERS - the Giraglia 2010 is up and ready for practice and so the first matchrace will be held tonight, Sunday 11 April 2010.

TIME: 1800utc

START: SOL race start

ROUTE: To and round the island group, Iles de Lerins, at 43.52 / 7.05

FINISH: 43.70 / 7.32 (the bay of Saint-Laurent du var)

ALL ARE V WELCOME TO JOIN IN - OR IF YOU PREFER, JUST HEAD TO THE FINISH WHICH WILL BE THE START OF THE NEXT PRACTICE RACE!!


MATCHRACING FROM THE GUN ARE
crzycanuk (CAN)
newsartist (USA)
Perenkist (NED)
Rainbow (GBR)
robert1 (SWE)
stoertebaker (AUT)

glynnwi (GBR)started 4mins after the gun. Smo and Victorious joined in later too.


RANKING AFTER 1hr
(based on DTG to Iles de Lerins)

1. Rainbow 30.2
2. Perenkist AND canuk AND stoerte 30.6
5. glynnwi 30.9
6. news 31.2
7. Smo 31.8
8. africa 32.2
9. Vic 33.8


MATCHRACE FINISH CHANGE!!!

As the original finish is going to prove to be too far to go, the race will now finish by running ashore at 43.54 / 7.04 AFTER rounding the Iles de Lerins.

PRE-SLEEP RANKING

As time was pressing and some were already thinking of heading to sleep or on to tomorrow's start point, the final Ranking (based on DTG to the larger of the finish SLIs) was:

1. stoerte 6.3nm
2. Perenkist AND Rainbow 6.6nm
4. glynnwi 7.2nm
5. Smo 7.5nm
6. africa 8.9nm
7. robert 9.6nm
8. Vic 15.8nm
9. news 21.1nm
10. canuk - heading into the wide blue yonder!

This is a little skewed as both SLIs need to be rounded and all except Rainbow are more offshore, hence better placed to make the approach to the finish point.

With some heading off to other destinations overnight, the first finishers at the matchrace finish point were:

1. stoerte
2. Smo
3. africa
4. glynnwi (slightly off finish point)
5. Rainbow (just about to finish)

Perenkist didn't round the islands but arrived before everyone (hopefully got the bbq and grog ready!).

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 1

Welcome to Leg One of the Round North Island Series in partnership with SSANZ.

This year, our SOLers will be racing the dynamic Sun Fast 3600 – Jeanneau’s renowned racer-cruiser and a proven flyer downwind. A gentle opener on paper… but coastal tactics and shifting breezes will demand focus from the start!

New Ice Age 2026 - Browerville to Longyearbyen


Our 2026 long-distance ice-boating challenge continues with a second race in Arctic waters, now from Browerville, where we arrived less than a month ago, continuing east, back to Svalbard’s Longyearbyen, leaving Canada’s Ellesmere Island to port and Denmark’s Greenland to starboard. It’s about 2500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you more than a day or three, thus to complete your first (of several) online circumnavigation of the planet of 2026!

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!
