Posted by Gilles Posts 127 Registered at 2009-07-18 11:05:22	2017-03-03 17:57:41 - First SOL meetup in north Europe
	UPDATE! Just recognized the vote are anonimous :o! Please left a short comment saying who will join( I am guessing the 4 eheh) and WHERE you would like to make next! (or contact me if you want to stay anonimous of course) Dear friends, I am glad to invite you to the first SOL meetup in north Europe! the choosen location is in DK as it is easier to link to the event to the biggest regatta around the island of Fyn http://palbyfyncup.dk/ The circuit is well known to all the Soler as we raced few times around that island. The location is also easily to reach with plane, car, train, boat. To accomodate the higher number of partecipants there are 3 basic options: 1) Only dinner (on 26th or 27th May) 2) Dinner + Racing weekend with Soler´s boat. 3) Dinner + Racing weekend with a charter boat. Option 1) is open to all the SOLers that want to have a great evening Option 2) is open to all the SOLers that will join with her/his boat and would like to enter IRL race and take some SOLer on board.(cruise in company style). You will get a first class crew of experienced SOLer and expenses cover for the race entrance. ( to be shared between crew on board) Option 3) is open to all the SOLer that do not have a boat but would consider to charter a boat (40ft class) for the weekend. All expenses will be shared between friends on board. To give your comment, ask question(s), submit your NOT binding feedback on which option you would like to follow please contact me. As for privacy reason I do not have access to the SOL maildatabase please share this invitation to all your friends. Any question, anytime to me. Best regards and goodwind waiting your reply.

	Gilles It would be really fun to meet other SOLers in DK. I will think hard about this. Don´t think I´m intersted is sailing (I´ve done 9 Gotland Runt, so it´s not that), but I have to see what I will be doing at the time you have suggested. I will be back ) Robert Robert

	was not a surprise that the most answer I got were "no boat?, no party!" Accidentally the 2 options that I have to grab a boat has sinked in the last weeks.... So I have to postpone this on a next future. Could be that I will go there anyhow as there is holiday in Germany. However the plan B is the following: I will attend to the presentation of SOL during the buddyup with the Silverrudder, same location, end of September. The local SOL crew is already up and running for that. So stay tuned, there WILL BE a SOL party in DK this year! Good wind Gilles --- Zuletzt bearbeitet von Gilles am 2017-05-13 15:03:13 ---

	Just remember... The Silverrudder is the 22. September and placed in Svendborg, only 70 km south-southeast of Bogense. All SOL'ers are welcome to join with the SOL team. Just bring your computer, laptop or whatever. We have our own stand, our own internet connection and will be racing against the IRL fleet with an X-99.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 3

Leg Three of our Round North Island Series, in partnership with SSANZ, keeps the pressure on! From Cook Strait, the fleet turns north for a 187 nautical mile passage up the east coast to Napier. It may look like a quick overnighter, but shifting coastal winds and the ever-lively Cook Strait demand sharp focus. In our responsive Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed racer and powerful downwind performer, tactical decisions and precise timing will make all the difference!

The start time for this race may change at short notice to align with the real race. The confirmed start date and time will be announced via an in-race “L” flag message — Please monitor race communications closely.

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia

Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!
