Posted by stoertebaeker Posts 78 Registered at 2009-06-27 20:10:15	2012-06-23 00:15:59 - Ecker Cup 1000nm race October 2012
	Ahoi Racers ! Since we hardly have Austrian ocean races, it could be nice to run the Ecker Cup 1000nm race starting on 13th of October 2012. It is actually 1070nm this time in two legs : Leg 1 : Zadar in Croatia to Kalamata in Greece, 550nm Leg 2 : Kalamata to Alanya in Turkey It might even be possible to buddy up with the race. Since this is a "fun event" for hobbyists on a timeframe, real competitors are allowed to use engine (hard to imagine, I know). 1 engine hour equals 2 sailing hours.. Still I think if we use polar of one of the bigger competing boats we should be able to keep up with the real fleet... Link to route Background My father will race our 40 feet boat Lizza Forte in this race and he would be pleased to use SOL as additional resource for racing.. As boat I could imagine TP52, First 47.7 or maybe class 40.....

	This looks like fun - and an area of the planet where SOL has not really spent much time! What a great idea

	Hi stoerte - d'you think SOL's First 40.7v2 is comparable with Lizza Forte?? The course is in the draft October calendar (about to be published in the calendar forum) but we haven't picked a boat yet!

	Ahoi RC ! I'm happy to announce that Tias is allready creating a Lizza Forte Polar ! We will be able to sail the real boat. As well there will be a racetracker... Cheers, Roland <<DO NOT USE FOR NAVIGATION>>

	The first leg of this race is now available for preview. Please note that to make the finish line "work" SOL has had to introduce a waypoint into a race that, in reality, has no waypoints at all. To preview the race (it will be open for a few days before being archived), just do the following: Login as the sol boat: USERNAME: sol PASSWORD: sol then click here _____________________

The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
