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The race has now been archived until it will be raced.

Magical Mediterranean 2026 - Benghazi to Korcula

We return to Antiquity’s Middle Sea for a seventh celebration of all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil.

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Tall Ships 2026 - Stavanger to Aalborg


Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
