    Hi Rainbowchaser: Thanks for your kind words.
    In fact, the "Regata Islas de Chiloe" took place in the summer of the southern hemisphere, in January.
    Now, in winter, winds from the north are predominant in the pacific coast of the island and a cold and very rainy weather is usual down there. In the interior waters, nevertheless, the winds are very variables and there´s a lot of currents, so it's a challenge to sail is such conditions.
    I believe that the real regatta could be raced in the winter season, however because is one of the Chiloe's most important touristic attractions of the year, many visitors goes to the Island to attend the regatta and that's why is raced in summer.
    Thanks a lot

    OK SOLers. I have finished my kmz file with the race proposed. Is my first attemp to design a race and, of course, any suggestion, advice or criticism (in respectfully terms, of course) is welcomed.
    I believe that the Seacart 30 is the most suitable boat for this race.
    I hope you like it and in some time in the near future we meet in Chiloe Island to race.
    Fair winds to all.

    Thanks RainbowChaser and Tazumaki. I'm already working in the kmz file. Unfortunately the name "Regata Islas de Chiloe" is a trademark and can't be used without permission of the owners, the Club Nautico Oceanico de Chile (Chilean Oceanic Nautic Club).
    Maybe we can call the race "Chiloe Challenge". Don't sound bad, I believe.
    Please forgive my bad english, I'm chilean and a self taught in that language.
    As soon I finish the kmz file I'll post it to the community consideration.
    All the best

    Race Suggestion - Chiloe Challenge
    Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals
    For a very demanding race I suggest one rounding Chiloe Island in Chile.
    Here every two years the "Chiloe Islands Regatta" is raced and yachts from everywhere in Chile an from others countries in South America, like Argentina and Peru, meet in this beautiful part of my country to race in the most fabulous landscapes and within the most extreme sea, wind and currents conditions.
    Hope in the near future all SOL captains will be seen in such race.
    All the best and fair winds to all.
    Andy
    Captain of the Hotu Matu'a (an real and virtual boat, by the way)

    Hi Jakob:
    My humble suggestion is a monohull between 45 and 60 foot. I'm sure you have some boats of such type in your virtual fleet.
    But if is too late to make a change, let's sail in the Seacart! Will be a hell of a race, anyway.
    Thanks

    Yes, Bearski is right. The boat SOL chooses is not the best election. By the way, who -apart of a crazy guy- will sail a 30' multihull in such a hard race like the Sydney - Hobart? Don't you ever heard about the rough conditions in the Torres Strait?
    I believe SOL must try to keep the things as real as it gets.

Lake Vättern PYOC 2026


Back in 2013, longstanding SOLer Musigny and his friend xthyra invited us for a three race tour of beautiful Lake Vättern in the heart of southern Sweden. After many years, we return there for a quick sprint from a start in front of the village of Brandstorp, either way around Visingso island in the middle of the lake, but PORT HAND ROUND a buoy off the Granna piers on the eastern shore and back, once again avoiding Visingso as best you can. At least 20nm in trusty Scandinavian 11m One Designs; good luck!

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!
