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The race has now been archived until it will be raced.

Current Races:

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
