Last boat win. Sailing between to lanes. Now one can return inside this lane. If you do - you are out and end up as first.

Hey Jakob.

We have "Slow food", "Slow City in Italy" etc. Why not a "Slow Sailing Race".

The start goes from a line or as we do inn SOL from one point. The lane/track (invisible will do it harder) is inside to lines that have 0-5 nm - ore more - apart from one another. A visible track in the middle of the lane. The end and the start of the track is narrowing in to the start/finish line or start/finish point. The whole lane can be as long as we wont it to be. But it should at least be over 8 hours with sailing. And it can be placed between island or on the open sea.

From start the boat have to move forwards and can not use TWA 0.0. They can sail lengthwise and crosswise (180 +/-) inside the track. But they have to move all the time in one direction to the finish line.

First boat over the finish line loose.
Last boat over the finish line win the game.
If they stop inside the track, they are out of game. Only excuse to stop is if TWS is 0.0
If they are outside the lane they are out of game.
No excuse for putting the boat onshore. Out of game with them as well.

To complete the race it demands good navigations abilities from the boat and that is perfect for this SOL game.

Registration for the game is not a start time. It is a end time for registration and after that it's closed. And the game starts 15 minute later. As long as the server is starting the first registration it's a clue to be last here as well. But if you take the chance to wait to long you can be out of the start as well, if the server is occupied with a lot off work as it can be before closing time.

Quiberon Islands 2026


The Quiberon peninsula extends as a submerged granite ridge a further 15nm or so beyond the La Teignouse lighthouse on the rocks off its southern tip, surfacing as two small islands, Houat and Hoedic, the duck and duckling in Breton, 5nm and 10nm beyond the light. Treacherous, tidal waters, but on SOL that daunts us not. Of course, we've raced here before, mostly Timed Runs out of Quiberon around Belle Ile, just south of the islets, and back, but this time it's a sprint from Belle Ile's capital of Port Marie round the foul fowl and back. A triangular course of 22nm, appropriately enough for Moody S38.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
