I was with SOL almost from the beginning. I can only agree with the letter RC wrote. In know what an effort it cost to Kalle, Jacob and Jeroen to maintain this game on such an high level FOR FREE! It's a shame that an institution like RORC choose for money instead of good seamanship.
Good to see that a lot of the SOL-members have the same opinion. Keep up the good spirit of this game.

Thank you all for your supportive comments. I was somewhat apprehensive of sending it but I was jolly cross!! Guess you can work that out for yourselves!!

Anyway, thus far no acknowledgement and no reply. The email was submitted on the email form on the RORC website but the subject line read "FAO Commodore McIrvine - re RORC's action against SOL 9 August 2009".

Obviously if anyone else has a more personal email addy for the Commodore of RORC then I will be happy to use that too!

I just did what I could with the basic resources available to me this morning as I didn't want to delay.

Very well written RC, I am sure you reflect the sentiments of all of us sailing on SOL. I was dissappointed to wake up to find the race cancelled, and angered to learn the reason! I hope this reached it's intended mark and has some affect. Go the little guys!

Well done & said RC.

Perhaps sending it to ROLEx and all their different sales offices world wide would give an interesting result and perhaps some "power" and a pressure point from Rolex onto the RORC.

If we all sent emails, . . . . to all the offices etc. . . . .

Cheers!!

Well said. I agree with your sentiments. The RORC is sadly out of line on this one.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!
