2011-03-03 12:23:43 - Race from Chicago to Mackinac 2011
AHOY SOLers - does anyone (esp N American SOLers) have a connection with the Chicago Yacht Club?

In view of the success of SOL's buddying-up with the Stamford YC for the Vineyard Race last year, and with SSANZ for this year's Round North Island races, it would be marvellous for SOL to create a similar no-strings relationship with the Chicago YC for its annual Race to Mackinac.

If you do have a contact please post a brief reply here and then let me know (by email to:jsbcoo7@aol.com ) so that we can take the details of any approach and discussions out of a public forum.

This year's race is due to be run on 16 July.

Hope you can help!!!

There is also a Mackinac race run from Canadian Sarnia-USA Port Huron, at the south end of Lake Huron, to Mackinac. I don't know if it is connected in any way to the Chicago affair, I have no direct contacts with them.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto 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.
