	It is without question that SOL will be running a round-the-world/global ocean race from the autumn of 2011 through to mid-year 2012. BUT what to call this race? As many understand, the major ocean races have entered into high-value $$$ contracts with commercial online games companies and have thus copyrighted the offical names. I thought it might be fun to have a competition (no prize save glory!) to name SOL's next global race. From now, 3 August 2011 until 31 August 2011 please submit your ideas. As they are proposed I will add them to this post for ease of reference. THEN on 31 August, providing there aren't too many ideas, we can run a poll to choose the name we like best! SO.. thinking caps on folks! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-08-03 16:38:16 ---

	RC: Forget the glory. Make a real prize e.g. 12 months SYC membership. Worth something and easy to give and administer. Perhaps other prizes: Longest time aground but still finished in top 100 boats. RTW SoL Name: "THERE and BACK" "Into the Atlantic and HOME", said by Sir Francis Chichester as he saied past Cape Horn and threw his southern ocean charts overboard. If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	Great Idea! Name: SOLer Wind 2011-12 (concept goes to Danny) I also like PaulRs idea... Podium gets something tangible. 1st: 1yr of SOL membership 2nd: A piece of SOL apparel 3rd: A SOL Bear Speaking of "SOL-aphernalia", it would great to have SOL logo decals. I would LOVE to have one (or more) on my car, backpack, dog !!! SP --- Last Edited by ShamrockPirate at 2011-08-07 22:15:59 ---

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.
