Hi.
I have a proposal here. It's a course around Comoros islands.

I enjoyed creating it and comments are welcome.

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.

garganey - Nzwani N now moved :-)

Please double check (if you wish).

I will be archiving your race tomorrow before the tow-back for the Malaren race start, so you have 12hrs or so to check!!

Thank you again for picking a fascinating destination!

:-)

Current Races:

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
