2010-07-13 05:28:24 - Kapiti-Chetwodes Course
Hi RC please find attached a suggested course for an upcoming weekend race. It can be run at any stage that you have a space. Either shortly as we are still getting strong southerlies at this time of year or later on in spring time (September October) Its based on a real course but we finish in the Marlborough Sounds and drink rum. Either cross the finish line and raft up or sail straight home and Send It after a few rums or during a few rums :))
Cheers NZL_undercover

FAB!!! Thank you undercover - weekend races are always needed... especially now as many of those who work full-time have even less time available for leisure and SOLing!!

undercover - have just set this one upin the system and am pencilling it in for the weekend of 1 October.

Is that OK with you? also, in the description you mention the boat-type "Class 40" - is that the same as First40.7?

Forgive my ignorance but, as you know, I am a landlubber IRL!!

The full list of boat-types currently available in SOL is in a sticky post at the top of this Race Proposals Forum.

Hi RC
The 1st of October sounds fine. Could we start the race Saturday night NZ time as most Kiwi's will be real sailing by then :)
Class 40 is on the SOL list quite a new boat. Single or double handed ocean racer.

Hi RC
Right log in this time :)
0700 1/10/10 sounds great.
Please can we have the Class 40 not the First 40.7. I posted the 2 boat sites for your information. As you can see very different boats.
You are doing a great job well done and thank you very much.
I hope the dog is still getting enough walks with all this SOL work :)

Cheers Undercover

undercover - OK .. Class 40 is set as is 0700 utc on 2 October so marshall your Kiwi racers!!!

Thanks for the "great work" compliement - its much appreciated!!

I have had a steep learning curve and my name is spread a bit too much over the site at the moment but hopefully, as everyone gets used to chipping in and proposing races and commenting on the calendar in the Forum and generally contributing, I won't seem so ever-present!!

:-D

P.S. neat pic.. which one are you?

Arms folded cap on. 0800 in the morning after starting the night before 18.30.
I was in charge for a change and letting the others drive. Watching the puffs and waiting to take over. We got maxed out in 30 knots of wind about 15 minutes later trying to get inside a lighthouse......between Cape Jackson and the light offshore it got very exciting:)

look at this

PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2025

Welcome back to Auckland for the 2025 PIC Coastal Classic! In partnership with the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club, Sailonline is thrilled to race this iconic 118nm dash to Russell. First sailed in 1982 and inspired by early powerboat runs, it’s now a legendary multihull showdown. This year we race Ocean 50 foiling trimarans—fast, agile, and built for offshore performance. Expect tactical challenges, adrenaline-fueled downwind legs, and nail-biting lulls. Finish line rewards? Bacon butties, rum, and bragging rights in beautiful Russell!

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon 2025 - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
