On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race.

With the ice too thin to support the iron-clad knights and their mounts, many were taken by the waters and many more by the archers of young Alexander Nevsky, the Prince of Novgorod.

In 2012, a mere 400-odd years on, Sailonline decided to return from thence, via the islands of St Pierre and Miquelon, to St Malo, the departure port of many of the French voyages of long-ago. An IRL race celebrating Jacques Cartier's much earlier voyage of 1534 exploring the Gulf of St Lawrence, first held in 1984, was further inspiration. To celebrate all things French, therefore, we now invite you to participate in this third simulation of this epic 2,485nm race, as before in very French and venerable, but now slightly modified for better light air performance Sailonline IMOCA 60s!

It's about 13,000 nautical miles, which compares with less than 3000 statute miles by train!

It is less than 3nm from the estuary of Point-a-Pitre on the south coast of Guadeloupe to the shoal bay directly north of it on the other side of the island, but, alas, a buoyed channel that might take you there is blocked midway by a bridge and a marsh, and anyway, on the SOL chart, that channel ain't there at all. So, expect to have to sail at least 62nm in mercifully relatively nippy Seacart 30s, port- or starboard-round, to win this one, and not to show ahead of boats who just came out to watch the start, until you are nearly home.

Sadly we have recently learned of BGosh's death (<a href="http://www.sailonline.org/board/thread/17234/2021-lake-winnebago-bgosh-memorial/?page=1">more info here</a>) so let's raise a glass to him before leaving the warm and toasty Neenah-Nodaway Yacht Club clubhouse to don cold-weather racing gear, and ready our DN Iceboats for two swift laps of the frozen lake.

Once we clear the tip of Cape Cod at Race Point our rhumb line course will be 70 deg T for 225nm across the Gulf of Maine to Cape Sable NS, so the best delivery departure window for sparing the crew and gear pounding into a northeast winter gale across Browns Bank will likely be following a frontal passage with strong favorable westerly winds.

Sailing on, he next reaches Telepylos, which could be back on the African coast or present-day Favignana off north west Sicily. Our Leg 3 opts for Favignana, which turns out to be inhabited by Laestryonians who start to eat the crew. To get away, the wind bag is opened too soon and they carene on north to the land of the sorceress Circe, who turns the remaining crew into pigs for a year. But once more they get away, finally in the right direction, passing the Sirens on the coast of present-day Amalfi, to end up in The Underworld, the island Vulcano. 550 exhausting miles of mayhem!

Sailonline now invites you to relive his epic tale, journeying in a virtual ancient trireme, modelled on the Hellenic Navy's real live replica Olympia. The legend tells Odysseus was immediately blown off course, north to the land of the Cicones, perhaps making landfall near Cape Maroneais. When the winds abated and after pillaging the people, he made good progress south, undoubtedly rowing some of the way, to exit the Aegean at Cape Maleas, where this virtual first leg ends.

With summer fast approaching and press-ganging progressing slowly, SOL decided to help out with moral support and in the end nearly 200 SOLers accompanied him and his crew on the 588nm trip. A big success! Today hmm still sails his yacht all summer long on his home waters of the Gulf of Finland. So, five years on, let's re-enact his passage and get over there to join him as fast as we can, in our very quick Ker 40s on this occasion.

PB3 or 3BP if you reverse it! As has become a tradition, we will race the course in speedy F18 catamarans. By car, skipping the diversion to Paralepa, the c 140 km should take you less than 2 hours, but by sea, thwarted by headlands and islands, you may expect it to take ten times longer to cover a similar number, not of Kms, but of nms, assuming, as always that the lure of the beach and live music will not cause you to pull your boat onto the sand and linger!

These championships were generally a mix of inshore races and at least one challenging offshore race. That the offshore race for the Sardinia Cup used to be from Cagliari to Cannigione is doubtful in the extreme. However, one thing is certain, SOL's 2019 Sardinia Cup offshore race is challenging, eschewing as it does the relatively benign waters off the Sardinian east coast, taking our fleet of highly inappropriate Seascape 18 footers (fully-crewed, NB) the long west-way round instead, probably into the teeth of a Mistral gale fetching down the river Rhone and across the Gulf of Leon. 225nm; good luck!

Whimsically then, in honour of SOL’s 11th birthday, your SRC gives you a re-run of 2013’s Trans-Atlantic Balloon Race. This race to be the first to ‘land’ your balloon in the sea off the Cliffs of Moher is not for the faint-hearted, nor for the serious-minded. Unusually, SOL’s balloon, polarized by past SOLmaster 76Trombones, will not ‘sail’ over land and will actually ‘sail’ in other directions other than straight downwind, although beyond a ‘beam reach’ it will not go.

To simulate the real race which features a 90 minute minimum stopover in Storm Bay, SOL’s online version has been divided into two legs. This first leg then is from Les Sables-d’Olonne to Storm Bay. When the leaders approach Storm Bay, Leg 2 from thence back to Les Sables via Cape Horn, will open. YOU MAY NOT START LEG 2 UNTIL AT LEAST 90 MINUTES AFTER FINISHING LEG 1. The penalty for starting Leg 2 before finishing Leg 1 is NO RANKING. The penalty for starting Leg 2 within 90 minutes of finishing Leg 1 is 5x the time you started too early. DO NOT START TOO EARLY!

Marking the junction of two major tectonic fault lines – the North Atlantic Ridge and the subduction zone where the African and Eurasian plates meet – it is a seismically hyper-active place, but warm and verdantly beautiful with one rain-laden depression after another rolling over its ash-fed andisol-rich hillsides.

Same as designer gin really, but with aniseed rather than juniper as the dominant flavour. By Greek law, the ABV (alcohol by volume) has to be at least 35%. Think of the water as the sea, the alcohol as the rocks and islands of the Inner Aegean you must not founder on, and the secret flavourings as the wind to waft you from Koufonisi to Akra Sounion, and you have The Ouzo Sprint.
