2012-12-12 22:50:28 - BA-Rio Race - proposed by zero
Hi all

zero has proposed that SOL runs a traditional race between Argentina and Brazil - the BA-Rio race (BA=Buenos Aires and Rio=Rio de Janeiro). There is word "on the street" that this classic race will be run again in reality in 2014 so SOL will be running ahead of reality this time.

To check the race as currently set up, please just log in as the sol boat:

USERNAME: sol

PASSWORD: sol

and then click here

Once we are happy with this the race will be archived until raced.

Joanne,

Thank you very much to set up this fantastic race.
I hope everyone participate. This was once a premier race in South America that lost out of favor for many reasons, none about the sailing. There is a great posibility that it will happen again in 2014.
We in the meantime can race here on SOL. Doesn't get better than that.

See you at the line,
Antonio (zero)

OK - the race will stay open for preview until tomorrow evening (Sunday evening), then it will be archived until we race it.

:-)

18dec12: I gave folks an extra day to check it out... in the absence of any amendments, I am now closing the race until we run it!

Hi Zero,

I am looking around in the forum for a nice little race we can run and came across your post.

Did you discuss a possible start time or date with Joanne or is this race done in a specific time of year?

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.
