	Whooaa SWE54 - wait a minute now! I did not/do not want to "get rid of you" - YOU are opting out, or? And, actually, please don't leave because in your limited time SOL is the best learning device around

	Considering that you don't have time for this, and that you don't like what's happening, and that you're not in this to win - I'd be tempted to say that you're doing rather well - LOL

	SWE 54,I am sorry you feel that way and would be even more sorry if you leave SOL. Definitely there is some more touch of us real sailors that we follow real races.Sometimes however, real races are postponed for reasons of strong wind which does not affect us armchair sailors.That is usually last hour postponement which we reasonably can not follow as we are not there on spot as real sailors and we all should be advised in time,at least 24 hrs earlier. Rainbow Chaser is giving her soul into organizing the races and her not being a real sailor does some minor mistakes,but we are all here to help her with advises,which she always gladly accepts. Therefor SWE 54 give your proposal of which real races we should include in our calendar and do not leave us. I was sailing in both Many Players and Virtual Regatta and truly they can not be compared with SOL. best regards Damir(africa) --- Last Edited by Capt.D.P. at 2011-10-29 14:42:15 --- --- Last Edited by Capt.D.P. at 2011-10-29 14:43:24 ---

	We've missed a few good races. The SOL World Race occupies a huge chunk of the year but there are still a few over the next 6 months that we might sneak in. Key is to identify them early and post which ones we'd like to try to run. Here is a (woefully incomplete) list that I've dug up for the next stretch. There'll all pretty good races: The Tahiti race is an interesting one, and we missed the Transpac this year. Quebec-St Malo is on the ORMA and Class40 calendars, not sure about IMOCA. The Minis haven't published the calendar yet but there should be some races in Biscay. If they run the "Mini Fasnet" in late summer again that would be a great SOL race. VOR - Nov/July 7 2012 VO70 Transat Bahia-Bretagne - Dec 3 2011 IMOCA60 4100nm Sydney-Hobart - Dec 26 2011 Maxi 630nm CARIBBEAN 600 - Monday 20th February 2012 Maxis, Class40 600nm St-Tropez 900 - March 22/April 22 2012 Class 40, Race/Cruise 900nm Transpac LA-Tahiti - April 20 2012 Sleds, Maxis 3700nm Europa (Istanbul-Brest) - May 6/June 16 2012 IMOCA 60 3700nm Newport-Bermuda - June 15 2012 40-50'ers 635nm Round Ireland - June 24 2012 Mixed 700nm Victoria-Maui - June 28 2012 40-50'ers 2300nm Transat Quebec-St Malo - July 22 2012 Multis, Class40 3100nm Vendée Globe - November 11 2012 IMOCA 60 --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2011-11-21 18:31:23 ---

Kapiti Chetwodes Race 2024

For only the second time in SOL history, we have the pleasure of inviting you to the Kapiti Chetwodes Race, held in the Cook Strait region. Organised IRL by the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club from Wellington in New Zealand. The approximately 160nm long route, full of turning points, will take us from the bay at RPNYC around the islands of Somes, Kapiti and Chetwodes and back to the finish line at RPNYC. We have only a 26 ft Albin 79 yacht at our disposal. All this means that we will have a lot of fun, so fair winds!
