Yes.. the race is starting on Tuesday, 25 September @2200utc which equates to Wednesday, 26 September @0730 in Adelaide, S Australia.

Aaron' birthday was 26 September.

:-)

GOTTIT - just spotted that Tyger had said Wed 25th... THANKS A2R!!!!

A2R and RC
Thanks for spotting the mistake. A "senior moment" I'm afraid. I knew the race started on the 25th and I knew that it started on Wednesday, Aus time. a case of not checking.

A3 LEG 9: GAGE ROADS TO ADELAIDE

Leg 9 of the A3 is ready for preview.
Please see .kmz file attached.
All comments welcome

This is it SOLers, the final leg of the A3.

I must say how much I have, on the one hand, enjoyed putting the series together but on the other hand wishing that I never had to do so in the first place. I haven't been a SOLer for long but my enthusiasm for SOL is down to 3 factors - RC's boundless energy in keeping everything running, AGage's generosity towards me when I first joined and everyone in the SOL community.

I hope everyone in the SOL community is looking forward to the A3 Series as much as I am.

Lets get on with the A3 - AGage's Around Australia Series.

Please note Leg1 of the A3 Series starts Tue 25 Sept @ 2200 UTC.
See new thread in Races forum.


Note: Changed name of Leg 9 to Gage Roads to Adelaide and updated .kmz file.

There's been a bit of discussion in chat about the gap between races and I think we just need to be flexible - depending on the winds we will finish some legs quicker than anticipated, some slower.

How about, roughly, 10 days to two weeks from time winner crosses the line before the start of the next one? This allows those who are slower-on-course to actually complete without being shut out of racing too soon.

What do you all think?

I'm probably least qualified to say anything, as I'm a total newbie here.

But 10 day to 2 week break seems really long considering that the legs look quite short.

I missed the start by a day but will be done in a few hours.

My 2 cents.

Great to be here BTW.

Glad to have you aboard Dana1. Welcome to SOL.

The gaps between the legs have been discussed over some time now and as things go this is about what is considered to be a 'Happy medium'.

Like Abe Lincoln used to say... "You can please some of the people... yada yada yada..."

Hope your SOL adventure will be permanent.

Cheers.

Vince

I should clarify - the idea of the "roughly one a month" is to have us finishing back in Adelaide near to the time of Aaron's 1st anniversary. I think if we make the legs a bit of a moveable feast (as stated) we should accomplish this :-)

Dana1 - Welcome to SOL and thank you for your input. If you have a look at The Race Calendar Forum you will find most upcoming races in its various threads. Due to vagaries of weather etc these can change but not usually by much!

A link to the Current Calendar is also usually findable on the SOL Homepage - due to the length of current blog entries it has shifted on to the next page at the moment but will be updated and back on the Homepage over the weekend :-D

Hi,

Thank you for the clarifications.

I think it is a great idea to time the end of the race for your friends memory. Absolutely no problem with this.

Unfortunately I did not have the chance to get to know Aaron.

Will be on future races.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Baia de l'Oiseau to Carnarvon


How ever shall I return to report with clear report to the Sultan – asked Sinbad. It must be told this island and all its fables shall be expunged from the annals of every thousand and one night. The wind howls here, and sun be none (it’s Winter, Sin, ed.) and all days from the west, but let’s launch anyway and see if we can work our SOL Balloon north as the days pass aiming for Asthralaya, where The Mahabharata tells the ancients once tested mighty weapons, about a quarter and a million qasbah away (2500nm, ed.), perhaps one month.

Nantucket Sprint 2025


Welcome to Nantucket, from whence Herman Melville’s Cap’n Ahab sailed round The Horn into the northern Pacific Ocean to hunt the gray whale - whose migrations are celebrated elsewhere in SOL’s Q4 schedule - he never to return. And whaling too, as the 19th C progressed, like Ahab disappeared from Nantucket as the harbour silted up and mainland Massachusetts whaling stations benefited from rail connections. But beach life, yachting and nostalgia has rescued the island from oblivion, so to celebrate leisure, SOL gives you the Nantucket Sprint - 25nm in 29er_XX’s from Great Point to Muskeget & Tuckernuck Islands across the sound to a finish just inside the mouth of the harbour. Enjoy!

Once again, as is our wont on Lake Ontario, a fleet of Beneteau First 36.7s is being made available to virtual racers.
