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?

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
