Posted by Anchoilla Posts 12 Registered at 2011-04-22 15:47:56	2013-04-15 17:49:25 - Nine islands, nine lights
	Hi, SOLers, I want to propose you a race around the small island I live, work and sail: Formentera. Herewith I upload a pdf with the general concepts of the event. I do hope SOLers accept to enjoy, virtually at least, our beautiful waters. Please, ask me whatever you want to know about the project or the island itself. Thank you for your interest.

	Hola Anchoilla - that really has to be one of the best ever race proposals I have had the honour to view! It is just brilliant... Gracias for all your work and preparation. Just one small thing - please would you make the waypoints in Decimal Degrees to save me having to do that (to set them up in SOL they need to be Decimal Degrees and not Degrees Minutes Seconds). BRAVO!

	Thanks for your kind words, RC. For sure I translate the waypoints to Decimal Degrees. Thanks elbetico, thanks Claudio. --- Last Edited by Alfonso Biescas at 2013-04-15 21:26:07 ---

	I have translated the waypoints to Decimal Degrees and made some changes. I do hope you'll like this version. Thanks. Ancho Attachments 02.Nine_islands.pdf (1.5 MB)

	Still as fabulous as when I first read it. It is such a pleasure to receive a quality race proposal We have a race starting this evening and I am setting up another for the weekend at the moment so I will set this up for preview over the next few days so we can make sure it looks good in SOL and then we can pick a date, based on the SOL Racing Year when it will be good to run. Do you have specific dates in mind for it?
Posted by Anchoilla Posts 12 Registered at 2011-04-22 15:47:56	2013-04-18 13:16:14 - Re: Nine islands, nine lights
	Thank you again, RC. I think a good date could be June 22th, starting at 8.00 UTC. It is week end and the race could take about 24h long. But the date SOL team choose sure will be right.

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. 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 doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.

Welcome to the second leg of this Round The World series 2024. It's also the April edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is the same as the one sailed in 2023, but this year we sail the iconic Swan 65, as suggested in the concluding RTW race last year.
Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas.
