2011-02-17 01:51:36 - Newport-Annapolis Race
Hi All,
With all the talk of SOLing along with the IRL fleet in NZ this weekend, I thought I would pose a warm-up race for the same idea here in the US.

The Annapolis-Newport is running this June. Maybe one of the other US SOLers is racing or knows the organizers and we could get the same interest as SSANZ.
Hope you like this little wintry jaunt offshore.

And if that one is too cold for our N. Hemisphere crowd, I threw in a 5-day run around the Gulf of Mexico. Maybe something to do during the LONG IMOCA Legs ;>))

Comments welcome,

SP

Thanks RC.
Looks like there are quite a few options in archive. Some good S.Florida sailing and a great series just submitted by Jepsom. That should take care of some of the gaps.
I also have 2 VHL (very high latitude) races in the works as well.

Hiya ShamPir - got your first one set up... to check it out just log in as the sol boat:

Username: sol
Password: sol

and then click here

Because we can't set up gates as such in SOL I have made two Chesapeake waypoints.. let me know if this is OK or if you want to tweak/change them!

Hi RC,
Looks good! Now that I see the detail of the SOL map vs GE, it is probably more obvious to just use a single waypoint at the entrance to the Chesapeake. The "gate" idea was to simulate the opening in the Bay Bridge/Tunnel but that is not a factor on the SOL chart. There are 2 small island formations near the South shore when zoomed in close. Suggest place the mark on the northernmost of the two. That creates a "quasi-gate" to go between the islands for the fastest route.

Also, having seen this map, there can also be a race I had previously considered... Around Long Island.. as there is connecting water up the East River in NYC.
I'll work on that next.

Fun stuff. Thanks again for putting this together! All other comments welcome.

ShamPir - I've moved the Chesapeake Bay mark and removed the 'Bridge one.. looks good now.

Let's see if we get any other comments.. otherwise I will archive the race in a few days until we run it.

Finish moved to be totally offshore!!

Let's see if anyone has a comment(s), otherwise I will archive this before the weekend.

Do you have a personal preference for when you would like this to be run?

The IRL race (Annapolis-->Newport) starts on Friday, JUN03. Would be fun to run this one the week before especially if I can find someone in either of the yacht clubs that might want to team up and do that race back up to Newport ala RNI/SSANZ. Otherwise, anytime in Late APR or early MAY as the winds are better than during summer.
