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" ...

Rapallo to Nador 2026


Welcome to Liguria’s Rapallo, there where Zarathustra spoke - at length - to Nietzsche, for our first race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil. A number of our races in this new Magical Mediterranean series will be partnership with famous real-life races, but this first race is pure fiction - 780nm in refurbed IMOCA 60s, past or through the Balearic Isles and on into the Alboran Sea, to a finish off Nador on the Maroc Mediterranean coast.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
