2013-04-17 14:58:49 - Around Belle-Ile
In reference to this IRL race : http://www.tourdebelleile.com/?lang=en

I suggest this SOL race : described in attached file. :-)

I won't be able to participate because I will be on the coast to see the IRL boats pass by... The course is only 45nm long, we could make it a timed race, so I could run it when I'm back home... ;-)

Bonne idee... mais... the SOL Fastnet Campaign will be racing their first qualifying race on that day (check out the May calendar in the Calendar Forum.

However.. a timed race would work with the course and if we don't run it on the same day as the real race, then no-one can object to our running it at all. What boat/type do you suggest we use from SOL's Boathouse?

The boat would be a Seacart30....

If there's no time for this one, I could also suggest a way and back Brest / Belle Ile, so I could check if my house is still in place... :-)

Kind of easy Breizh Lightning, in a way...

Salut T,

There is always time and room in calendars for short(ish) races.. the question is when to run them. We need to juggle the Racing Year commitments with already-drafted calendars when things are imminent. If you propose something a little further out in the calendar then there is only the Racing Year commitments to contend with. :-)

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
Race #2037
