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

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

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.
