Board » Practice Racing » ROUND ICELAND MATCHRACING

Post annotated by RainbowChaser :
This thread was moved from the category Races.
As always, all SOLers are very welcome to join in the informal and mostly social matchraces that will be held during the run-up to the SOL race-start.

Tonight I propose a positioning cruise/race to a location that, for forecast winds, should be a better location as a matchrace start-point over the next day or so.

SO... TONIGHT (24 April 2010)

TIME: 1800utc

FROM: SOL race start

TO: 64.938 / -23.336

See you there!!

POSITIONING CRUISE/RACE

can i play?
Nizz
claudio - OF COURSE you can play!! EVERYONE is invited to join in.. these matchraces are run by SOLers for SOLers and everyone is most welcome.

Practice matchracing is a grand way to test out a boat polar, learn how SOL works (if you are new) and get to know a few of the other SOLers a little better than before :-)

You see me shouting about the races 'cos I am just bossy like that hehehe

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!

Red Eye - Round White Island 2025

We remain in New Zealand for our second “Red Eye Special” and another IRL Kiwi classic - the Round White Island! IRL still “currently on hiatus” following the island’s eruption of 2019, this race was last raced on SOL in 2020. It’s about 300nm there - out the Hauraki Gulf and south down to the island in the Bay of Plenty - and back to Auckland. This year we’ll be racing in our ever-popular take on the TP-52. Hau tika!

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
