2022-12-28 18:24:53 - 2023 CHAMPIONSHIPS NORs
SRC is pleased to announce
THE 2023 SOL CHAMPIONSHIP NORs ;)
________________________________________
For 2023 we want to continue with some change, aimed to see some evolution in the years to come.

Two out of the main four Championships will not change format in 2023.

The ALL ROUND Championship, with its 4 quarters portraying four different groups of boat types and sizes has been successful in 2022 and will continue.

The Ocean Championship, as always the most appealing to the majority of SOLers, will carry no change.

After some debate we have reduced the number of Sprint races valid for the Championship to 12 (3 per quarter) but actually increased the number of sprint races for the sprint maniacs to 24 total , 12 of which non valid for the Championship. Twice a month it will be " hands on till time" for many, but careful to identify from the relevant codes which races are Sprint Championship and which are not ! ;)

Good news for many around the world ! :
each quarter of the Sprint Championship will see start times favourable to each of the three main areas of the world (Europe-Americas-FarEast) whilst last quarter will see one race with start time suitable for each of the three areas ( more details in calendar)

Timed races Championship goes back to 12 (one each month). This will offer more opportunity for many newcomers to test SOLing in the Timed arenas that will be available during more than 50% of the time in 2023.

In a nutshell :

OCEAN CHAMPIONSHIP
Annual Championship
12 races (one each month) - 2 discards
Quarterly Championships
the 3 races of each quarter - NO discards

TIMED CHAMPIONSHIP
Annual Championship
12 races (three each quarter) - 2 discards
Quarterly Championships
the 3 races of each quarter - NO discards

SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP
Annual Championship
12 races (three each quarter) - 2 discards
Quarterly Championships
the 3 races of each quarter - NO discards

ALL ROUND CHAMPIONSHIP
Annual Championship
12 races (one each month) - 2 discards
Quarterly Championships
the 3 races of each quarter - NO discards


SUPERSOLER 2022
This year again it will be the summa of 48 Championship races (12 OCCH + 12 TRCH + 12 SPRCH + 12 ARCH) and will allow 6 discards.

Happy Championships SOLing in 2023 !
;)

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

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!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.

Race to Up Helly Aa 2026

A-OI!!! The fiery spirit of Shetland’s legendary Up Helly Aa returns, and Sailonline’s annual race to Lerwick is once again upon us. Covering 383 nautical miles from Aberdeen, SOLers will tackle winter waters steeped in Viking tradition. This year, we race the classic Frers 33, a proven cruiser-racer born from the golden era of offshore racing and still a sturdy performer both on the virtual and real water. Can you master the course and reach Lerwick in time for the flames?

SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.
