2013-11-13 09:33:06 - RACE REPORTERS WANTED
AHOY SOLers! As posted various race chats, Race Reporters are wanted here!

Whether you are a front-runner or someone further back in the field, your written comments and insights on how a race has gone are very welcome and are now being actively sought!

You may write technically, you may write anecdotally. Nothing too scurrilous please!

Contributions should be submitted during or shortly after a race as follows:

1. to reporters@sailonline.org, Subject Race Report - name of race

and/or

2. posted as a blog, either on solfans, or on a personal blog and then we just need the url.

Once received, the contributions will be included in the Homepage Results blogpost. If the comment is very brief, then it may appear verbatim in the Sailonline blogpost.

This concept is a work-in-progress... we've had some fabulous race reports over the past few months, at my request, and now I would love to see the wordsmiths among us begin to self-generate contributions for any/all races that are run!

:-)

None better than aner can describe the race ... my little contribution is the phrase of Nelson Mandela: "A winner is a dreamer who never gives up" ...

Current Races:

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2025


SOL’s SRC (Sailonline Race Committee) has taken us to some unusual places in the past, and San Lorenzo Island off Lima’s Callao peninsula is definitely another one. Housing a naval base and a penal institution, no vessel is allowed within 300m of its shores. Also, with no sources of potable water, it is a matter of debate whether it is an island at all, and not just a large rock. So, whatever you do, don’t be tempted to BBQ; you’ll be arrested and go thirsty! We return for the first time since 2018 to race thirteen potentially unlucky miles in J-30s; have fun!!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
