	garganey - thank you so much!!! The other evening I was watching a programme on television about Madagascar and the incredible creatures there and it occurred to me that SOL didn't have a race in that area at all so... your course is exactly what we need!! I will set it up in SOL over the next wee while (no longer than 24hrs) so you can then have a look at it and we can, if need be, fine tune it

	Good morning garganey The Comoros Cruise is now set up, with a new weathersystem and map for E Africa, so... to see how it looks just log in as the sol boat: Username: sol Password: sol and then click here Let me know if it looks good so we can then archive it before it is needed. Do you have a preference for when it is raced?

	@SP Trying to find information and it looks like the area now is between seasons and that the Kusi season starts in April but i dont know about windspeeds. @RC If you can move waypoint 2 a little bit north the course will be perfect. I have no prefered race date you can find a gap in the calender for me.

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
