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.....

Fair winds,

Roland

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

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

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

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!

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!
