	On August 1st at 13.02 hrs, the Mini 650 race Les Sables d'Olonne - Horta - Les Sable d'Olonne will start. Apparently, this race is more demanding than the Mini-transat from last year. Apart from that, I would love to compete with my uncle: me from my pc and he in a mini 650. More info: http://www.classemini.com/?mode=calendrier

	Salut! For SOLto race an IRL race at the same time and using the same name we would need to have the permission of the real-life race organisers. If this is something you can obtain in time, then we could perhaps set this one up as a race for Sunday, 1 August. Otherwise, we can set up the course if you provide a Google Earth file (see other threads and the top of this Forum on how to do that) OR provide us with precise coordinates for the start-waypoints-finish and we can create a SOL race, using a name other than that of the real-life one (to avoid copyright issues) and we can race it another time. Would be great if you can get permission though!! Bonne chance!! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2010-07-18 11:47:55 ---

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!

Pico Island TIMED Race 2024

900nm due West of Lisbon you’ll find Portugal’s Azores Islands where SOLers have been known to come and go, both IRL and on-line. Marking the junction of two major tectonic fault lines – the North Atlantic Ridge and the zone where the African and Eurasian plates meet – it is a seismically hyper-active place, but warm and verdantly beautiful with one rain-laden depression after another rolling over its ash-fed hillsides. If it wasn’t for the pods of whales mooching about offshore, at sea might be the safer place to be, but let’s go racing anyway – 53nm round Pico, this year in Mini 6.50’s. This is a TIMED race, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Galapagos 2024

It took the Beagle a further fifteen months of adventure and exploration to, on September 15, 1835, reach the Galapagos Islands, whose populations of giant tortoises and iguanas and finches and mockingbirds of great variety from island to island were such a significant inspiration to Darwin formulating his Theory of Evolution. It won’t be a retrace of his peregrinations, but here in 2024 an interesting 500nm course will take you by most of the archipelago’s islands, in your very own Beagle, a Class B Tall Ship!

SOL's Balloon Transat 2024

Sailonline offers a huge variety of boats to sail in. One of the more unusual ones has got to be SOL's Balloon, which was polarized by past SOLmaster 76Trombones. Notably, the SOL Balloon will actually ‘sail’ in other directions other than straight downwind, although it will not 'sail' over land or beyond a 'beam reach'. This year we have a new course to challenge all you aeronaut’s and we will be taking the Balloon across the Southern Atlantic from Cape Horn to 'land' it in the Cape of Good Hope. Tips: Wait for favourable winds before launching and set DC aware predictor to maximal length.

San Francisco to Ushuaia 2024

After a superlong RTW-leg3 (27 days), we have had a month to recover, and maintain our boat, in order to continue our around the world race. Leg 4, even longer than the previous, takes us from California to the world's southernmost city Ushuaia. No waypoints, even "the Ditch" is an option, but maybe a bit too much of a treat. With 6300 nm to go, the estimated duration of this race 29 days. This course is also the August edition of our ocean race championship.
