That was already done too :-) I happened to be reading emails when the thread-alert message came through! Can't promise to always be so prompt :-)

Anchoilla - I will shortly be closing your race as it is now set up and it needs to be archived.

As for the homepage information, if you look back through the different entries, perhaps we can come up with a nice picture (from your files or a photo) and then write a little about the area/course where we will be sailing.

It is not urgent for now but would be good to have it drafted and ready :-) Your proposal already has all the information, so the piece perhaps needs only to be a few sentences taken from that?

:-)

Once you have a draft I am obviously happy to help tidy it if you think that is needed.

HI RC,
I think we have the reace ready to be archived (thank you for giving me the opportunity to test it) Everything is all right.

I'm sending you some pics. Perhaps they are good to give an idea how the island is.
Here is a link to some Formentera's video, although there's not much sailing in it.

If you want, we may take some lines from the pdf I sent you in the beginning. But if you prefer it, tell me how long has to be the text and I write it talking about you think could be interesting.

Hi RC,
since the race is held in Europe, better it starts daylight.
Then, a good chance should be saturday 22th, at 9 or 10 UTC.
But if SOL thinks is better another date and hour, I accept it.
Thanks

Hope you are ready ... I will be putting your race on the homepage shortly!

We are, as you will have seen, starting on Friday morning (21st June) for two reasons (1) there is another race starting on Sunday and I would like your race to get good focus, and (2) the forecast is currently quite light and folks in other timezones need a chance to complete it over their weekends too!

I will now prepare something for the Homepage, linking to your introduction and artwork :-)

Transat à Deux 2025

Above you see a single-handed sailor semi-foiling his Beneteau Figaro III to the horizon. It is in fact Ireland’s Sailor of the Year and the overall winner of last year’s Solitaire du Figaro, Tom Dolan. Somehow, we got our hands on a polar for the Class, and rather than trying to surreptitiously track Tom and his mates in the 2025 edition of the Solitaire, sailing rather-short, single-handed legs across the Celtic Sea and Biscay, we thought we’d see how our virtual craft would fare on the Class’s double-handed 3900nm Trans-Atlantic, from somewhere in Brittanny to somewhere in the Caribbean via somewhere in the Canaries. Allez, mes braves!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!
