2020-06-23 09:37:16 - Titicaca Lake
There is probably a long list with race proposals already. But anyway, I think some races on the most famous big navigable lakes in the world would be interesting. Here is my first one. Hope I did it right with the KMZ file. Can be edited where needed, of course.

Hi Zorba,
We think alike. I have put Isla Del Sol down for a sprint, and would be doing it in Q3 but for the flood of new race inquiries due to the pandemic.

Did one on Lake Victoria, small sprint, but think we should do one that covers all three countries.
Hit Caspian last year too, but can do a longer one, and am eyeing Lake Baikal for an ice boat race next year but can be for others.

So keep proposing them, there are loads of lakes to hit still.

Hi Zorba,
One more thing.
On Lake Titicaca, do you know where the deepest point is? I have been trying to find it but can't seem to put my hands on a good nautical map for the lake.
I have a special race in mind for the lake.

@Bimmer @Renegade I understand that real race proposal are considered first. Races on lakes can always be considered when there is nothing else. Openseamaps shows several shallow areas in Titicaca. The deepest point is supposedly in the NortEast near Isla Soto (2nd waypoint in my KLM) at 281 meters. See https://www.britannica.com/place/Lake-Titicaca

Baikal lake is one I was also working on. And another one that could be fun is Great Bear Lake In NW territories Canada.

As for Titicaca there is a narrow passage to the SouthEast part of the lake, where there are several small islands. So, it could be made into a longer race, but I wasn't sure if that narrow passage is feasible to include. Can be edited of course :-)

Isla del Sol in Titicaca has a very irregular shape. With properly placed waypoints it could make for a varied sprint race, or a timed race. Winds are supposedly very variable on the lake there. Looking forward to it.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
