    OCEAN CHAMPIONSHIP RACES
    Board » General Discussion
    I think it is useful to define some "rules" to make the “Ocean Championship Races” more competitive and able to offer more opportunities to follow alternative routes.

    Assuming that there must be courses between a “Point A and a Point B” without intermediate buoys, the discussion mainly concerns the "rules" regarding duration time, distance and boat.

    I invite you to express your opinion regarding these topics of discussion:

    - Ocean Race Duration Time

    - Start/Finish Distance

    - Presence of Natural Obstacles near the Start and Finish Line

    - Suggestions about Favorite Boats for Ocean Races

    I personally believe that:
    - To have more interesting and competitive Ocean races, it's essential that the duration is approximately three weeks.
    With NOAA 16-day gribs you can calculate routes to the finish line and, consequently, everyone follows more or less the same route.
    If the grib stops a week before the expected arrival, it becomes interesting to study the evolution of the weather to identify the right WP to face the last week of the race.

    - Be at least 4,000/4,500 nm long, (obviously from A to B without intermediate buoys).

    - Any natural obstacles don't create problems, unless they are close to the start and finish lines.

    - No favorite boats, it is only important that performance boat is adequate to the distance and the time of 20/25 days expected to complete the race.

    FW all.

    Dear Rob,
    we have never met in person but I can say that I've known you very well.
    A deep friendship, born from many affinities and from the great shared passion for SOL.
    I lost a friend on the other side of the world: I will miss you!
    Fair Winds Rob.

    Ciao ij, one question: would it be possible to extend the Isochrone Calculator to 168 hours as you have already done for the Predictor(s) length?

    Thanks.

    I spoke with WINSTON today to suggest the idea of organizing an "Ocean Extra Large Championship" (six stages around the world, each with a length greater than 10,000 nm), he will present the proposal to the Board.

    Thanks,
    I’m happy that my wish, and of many other Solers, for open water races is part of the official Management plan 2021 and that next year the Ocean races, in general, will be more 'Open Water’.

    It would be great to know all the 2021 Championship Calendar at the beginning of the year (as it happens in real life) and I hope this tip can be useful for further SOL improvements.

    sol said @ 2020-12-11 12:18:31:
    I would like to ask the Race Committee a couple of questions about how the "Ocean 2021 Championship" will be managed:
    Who decides to participate in the "Ocean 2021 Championship", will finally have the opportunity to see the complete list of all 12 scheduled races or will it be possible to see only the 3 races of the first quarter as for the previous editions?
    Is there a guarantee that all the races scheduled for the "Ocean 2021 Championship" will be in open water, without unnecessary marks under the coast and with start and finish lines free of obstacles?
    Thanks.

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
