	Jawz said @ 2011-08-08 19:41:33: Hi Folks! I don't mind the name at all but because we have already done one circumcision this year can we spice this one up a little? Along the lines of.. A Nations Cup - Best added times of say 3 national boats A Team Challenge - let's go the whole boat babysit nine yards Virtiual Prize for voted Best Named boat A National Team Boat - Let's challenge ITA2011 with a USA2011, All Blacks2011, Aussie2011, Mapleleaf2011 etc etc Let's make our race a tiny bit more interesting than the other unmentioned one! Regards George I will fully suppot these sugestions! Nations Cup - 3 or 5 best placed boats will keep the excitement way down the leaderboad!

	Hi racers, I have done some preparations on this race and would like to finish off the name in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for your input so far, are there any other great suggestions we can use? I will have a chat and see what we can do prizes for this one as well. I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	"SOL ECLIPSE 2011-2012" (An extra edge in this is that SOL in swedish means SUN) A team challenge with best 4 boats from each country each leg would be fun. If SOL could contribute with small prizes as mentioned above, it would be great (membership to individual winner, maybe t-shirts or caps to best team), nothing fancy or expensive, just to spice it up a bit. --- Last Edited by theviking71 at 2011-09-05 12:05:44 ---

	I really like the suggested : The SOL World Race 2011/2012 Or the long version The Sailonline World race 2011/2012 Any more suggestions? I will make final preparations for the race soon so in a few days we will call the name OK Sailonline World Race 2011-2012 it is. Feel free to use the short Sol World Race. I will make the final name change and will post some additonal info on the front page realy soon. --- Last Edited by Jeroen Tiel at 2011-09-26 17:49:32 --- I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.
