2018-01-29 12:33:21 - Proposition for a race San Sebastian-La Rochelle
Hello,
After 2 years break we again run an internet course for Polish skippers - the Virtual Criuise (from Italy to Holland). In 2013 and 2015 one of that trip legs was SOL race.
Can we repeat an San Sebastian-La Rochelle race in one of weekends in March (could start on Friday afternoon)?
Discussion from 2015 you can find here:

In view of the continuing concern about racial inequalities and the slave trade, what about having a race on the old "Triangle Route"---Britain to Africa to the Caribbean and back to Britain. This would be intended to enlighten the sailing community to the great wrong that was perpetrated during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries by the sailing industry, among others.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
