2015-01-26 12:54:12 - Alternative Elfsteden Tour
From time to time, some of our Dutch SOLers have waxed eloquent about the above historic skating marathon, wondering could we not SOL one. Whilst practice racing off Aberdeen last weeken, it came up again. I said we need a DN and I'll see if I can find a polar. I couldn't so I made one and got carried away a bit. So, please find attached proposal for an Alternative Elfsteden Tour.

Your efforts should be rewarded and I will try and set up a Fun race later this year in an Ice Yacht.

Whilst racing on Lake Winnebago, pop one of these draft DN polars into your Qt or BW router and see the progress you could make if you could only sail on the ice instead of below it.
Basic txt and detailed csv a la BrainAid also attached for anybody who likes these formats better for playing with.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
