Posted by ShamrockPirate Posts 189 Registered at 2010-12-03 17:49:57	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 --- Last Edited by ShamrockPirate at 2011-02-17 03:37:51 --- Attachments Newport-Annapolis_Race.kmz (2.0 KB) Tampa_-_New_Orleans.kmz (1.7 KB)

	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. SP

	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. SP

	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.

	The finish line is on land. But the rest looks good.

	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. SP

	ShamPir - 'tis now "pencilled in" for a start on 26 May - what start-time would you like?

CA 500 2024

In 2019, the organisers of the California Race Week introduced a new longer distance event for the world’s very largest maxi trimarans in town that year intent on setting new records for the TransPac Ocean Race on its 50th anniversary. This CA 500, 500nm from San Francisco to San Diego, was repeated in 2023, but this year it will be an online only event, as it is a lot more straightforward to get a fleet of Maxi trimarans out on the virtual water, than in real life.

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

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 is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
