    Re: Race Proposals for the Committee
    Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals
    Hi Francois,

    Here it is the updated "kmz" file with your comments.
    I really don't know if they still do this race in RL. This was 20+ years ago when I still lived overthere.
    We used to sail on 1/2tonners and OneTonners. It was a 3 days affair.
    Here on SOL we could do (I think) in less than 48hours on a VO70. Maybe even less if we get good winds.
    Also, the real race didn't allow to go thru the Ilhabela strait, but for SOL this would more interesting.
    Note that in the leg from Rio to Buzios there are many little island that here on SOL we will be able to cut corners and again make the race more interesting.
    The idea here is to re-live my childhood.
    I hope we all have fun.
    It will all depend on the wind. If we get a weekend with light winds this could turn into a painful race. But, we sailors know that already. Don't we ?
    Thanks again for considering this race.
    Cheers,
    Antonio (Tuze1)

    Proposal for a race outside of Rio (Brazil)
    Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals
    This is my humble proposal for a race offshore of Rio de Janeiro.
    The circuit is based on an actual race that I sailed a few times.
    There are some modifications to make more exciting for Sol.
    I designed the race in Google Earth as per Francois (Incognito) tutorial. This is my first time working in Google Earth, so please review it as necessary.
    Cheers,
    Antonio (Tuze1)

    A few observations on my first anniversary of SOL.

    I’ve made good online friends here. (Thanks to the Chat Room) – Great feature.

    I’ve learned a great deal of sailing navigation and geography.
    The reason for me learning so much is in first place the design of the game, the polars, the wind arrows and the weather slide. But also the ability to see every other boat and their tracks.

    To me SOL is not a game but a learning tool, a sailing simulation. I bet we are all winners here. I have a feeling that anyone who dedicates time to SOL will became better tacticians in real life.

    I have no problem in seeing people using router software to get there faster. I certainly would if I had the time and the skills to write software. At the moment I learn by observation. Please, do not hide the tracks and the other boats. Hide the boats and tracks would diminish the learning tool aspect of SOL.

    I’ve been thinking about the software use or not use for the past months and my conclusion is to stagger very short races with long races. I don’t think outside router software is effective in short races specially the ones with lots of islands and SLI. (Don’t you like those? :)

    So, having a mix of short and long races we are going to satisfy both camps, software users and non-users, if that is at all possible.

    Either way, please do not let SOL turn into another video game where luck is a bigger factor.

    Thanks,

    Antonio Ferrer

    Jakob,

    The BBQ race was great.
    I really enjoy these very short races.
    The level of competition we have here on Sol is so good and intense that if you blink you will loose positions.
    I am not saying we need this all the time, but to have these type of intense races sometimes, it is like an Aerobic exercise for your brain, it must be good for your health ;)

    Cheers,

    Thanks Jakob and all,

    The Bimini race was great, very intense with all the little islands on the way and the shift winds.
    Lots of Zig-Zags downwind and the race never turn into a parade.
    I really like those type of races.

    Nice to have a mix of Long and Short races here on Sol.

    Thanks again,

    Jakob,

    In my opinion we don't need to race different races all the time.
    I personally would be happy to repeat past races sometimes.
    We have raced some wonderful short races here in the past that you could re-schedule again.
    For example, all the short "in-port" races during the VOR would be great to do again. (In my opinion)
    The races around the Sweden Archipelago were also super fun.

    Regards,
    Antonio

    Hi Jakob and all,

    Would be possible to run a few short, day races. Say, max 24 to 36 hours during the weekends.

    Also, it would be fun to use "Rambler" again, since last time we used we had to cancel the race.

    These latest long races have being hard to concentrate for a wage slave working man like some of us.

    Thank you very much. Sol rocks !

    Kalle,

    Isn't this strange.
    Now I can see the maps and everything on these 2 new races (Chicago-Mackinac race) and (St.Malo race).
    Also no problems on the OSTAR.
    But, for whatever reason my Laptop refused to show the maps/weather/boats on the Gotland race :(

    Just for curiosity, how is it possible that the feed from one race only was not accepted by my computer?

    Thanks,
    Antonio

    Update:

    I went back to OSTAR and it worked fine, but the Gotland race still does not work.

    Would it be possible that the "feed" from a particular race doesn't work ?
    Although it does not explain why it works for everyone else and my other computer.

ORCV Melbourne to Hobart 2024


Welcome to the legendary "Westcoaster," a race that has tested sailors for over 50 years.

Organized by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria, the Westcoaster is renowned for its challenging conditions and adventurous spirit. This year, our SOLers will tackle the course in the swift and capable First 47.7, a yacht launched by Beneteau in 2000, built for speed and endurance in long ocean races. Get ready for an exhilarating ride in one of Australia’s most celebrated yacht races!

Refeno Rally 2024


Although since 1986 this 300nm course from Recife, Brazil, to Fernando Noronha Island has been run many times IRL, we have only used this route twice in SOL. This time it will be the route of the last race in the ARCH 2024 classification.
Although the winner of the general classification can already be determined, the fight for the next places on the podium should be fierce. There are several contenders and Dofour34 have them at their disposal. Since we are starting in Vida_Maldita's home waters, he will give us a 30-minute handicap. Or maybe we should give it to him? 😊

The Beagle in the Azores 2024


And west the Beagle went one final time to round the Cape of Good Hope on May 31 1836. Ashore, Darwin met up with the Astronomer Royal, Herschel, who just happened to be in South Africa at the same time mapping the southern skies. After sounding out his many ideas on evolution and extinction with Herschel, the Beagle now sailed north, stopping briefly in St Helena, Ascension and Brazil, and the Cape Verdes again, to reach the Azores on September 19, 1836. Fitzroy and Darwin at this stage were in a hurry to get back to Britain, but online in 2024 we will stay a little longer to explore this final remote archipelago in our virtual Tall Ship Class B Beagle, 630nm round and about the islands, minding as always in these waters not to bump into any large cetaceans!

Christmas(W) to Christmas(E) Island 2024

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, so prepare your 90ft well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2024 challenge of a reversed race, starting in the Indian Ocean, racing to the Christmas Island in the Pacific! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2024. Please have fun! Fair winds!
