Hi RC

This is the race that Patrick suggested. We need to get hold of Patrick so that he can have an input into the Invitation and boat types etc.

Hi Jawz

Excellent - if you have a snoop at the first post in the December Calendar thread you will see I have already added it to the "to be included" list!

Hi Guys I was thinking of Calling it "Sol's Simonstown To ST.Helena Island Race" I would like the boat type to be Open 60 if Possible?
Kind Regards
Patrick :-)

Thanks Patrick and George. Long straight line courses usually end up being the most challenging - many opportunities to go in the wrong direction ;-)

I look forward to the race.

Just getting this set up - waiting for the new weather to update and then I will post a preview for you to look at.

What time is the race to start on 22 December?

Once I have that I can update the December calendar so we are all set!!

OK.

Race all set up and new weather in so it is now available to preview for a short while (to check that it looks as planned).

To view it just log in to SOL using the following credentials:

USERNAME: sol
PASSWORD: sol

and then click here

The Race Description to appear on the right hand side of the SOL screen will say this:

QUOTE
A copy of a South African December classic, SOLers are invited to race 1700nm in Open 60s from Simonstown, RSA, to the island of St Helena - exotic, remote; an island paradise with warm, friendly, hospitable islanders!
UNQUOTE

Is this OK?

UPDATE
The race has now been archived until it will be raced.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 3

Leg Three of our Round North Island Series, in partnership with SSANZ, keeps the pressure on! From Cook Strait, the fleet turns north for a 187 nautical mile passage up the east coast to Napier. It may look like a quick overnighter, but shifting coastal winds and the ever-lively Cook Strait demand sharp focus. In our responsive Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed racer and powerful downwind performer, tactical decisions and precise timing will make all the difference!

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.
