Posted by RainbowChaser Posts 2656 Registered at 2009-06-14 09:44:50	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. __________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-12-13 00:05:10 ---

	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) --- Last Edited by zero at 2012-12-13 00:14:49 --- --- Last Edited by zero at 2012-12-13 00:15:32 ---

	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! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-12-18 11:09:36 ---

	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? Greetings Jeroen I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

The Beagle in Mauritius 2024

And west, forever following the sun, the Beagle went once more to next explore Australia, but since online we already regularly race the length and breadth of that wee dinkum continent’s coasts, we will delay launching our Tall Ship Class B until the Beagle reaches Mauritius, which she did on 29 April 1836. Darwin explored the island and its coral reefs extensively. We’ll better that by sailing some 450nm to Reunion and back, for a better appreciation of this remote archipelago, inhabited mostly by descendants of French and English colonists and Indian convicts and political prisoners.
