Attached a kmz file with all courses setup in SOl, and an Excel file with all races run in SOL. Both until November 2009.

Hello,

I added Ramsgate as a waypoint to both: the nonstop RoundBritain &Ireland and the 5-leg-version.
Have fun :)

re: dates: feel free to start the proposed races whenever it will fit in. Probably we will have the opportunity to start them again at the correct date and time.

Take care

Correct erniss. These files go until November 2009, as I have indicated in my post. Mid-November 2009 in fact, when the race committee started its work.

The race committee is mainly using these two files to find older races that can be rerun. We therefore do not need them to be updated on a frequent basis.

2010-01-04 16:01:47 - Proposal for a race outside of Rio (Brazil)
This is my humble proposal for a race offshore of Rio de Janeiro.
The circuit is based on an actual race that I sailed a few times.
There are some modifications to make more exciting for Sol.
I designed the race in Google Earth as per Francois (Incognito) tutorial. This is my first time working in Google Earth, so please review it as necessary.
Cheers,
Antonio (Tuze1)

Nice race, Antonio. When does the real one take place? Is there a web page?

Two remarks regarding the kmz file:

- You should give a name to the start, the waypoints, and the finish. Example: 'Copacabana - Waypoint 5'

- I would merge the invitation into the description, perhaps as follows:

'A 460 NM race in the waters offshore of Rio de Janeiro. For those of us tired of shovelling snow and walking in boots, an opportunity to wear flimsy T-shirts and flip-flops. We set sail from the Iate Clube of Rio de Janeiro, then head to the magnificent city of Buzios, turn around to beautiful Ilhabela, and finish in Rio.'

Hi Francois,

Here it is the updated "kmz" file with your comments.
I really don't know if they still do this race in RL. This was 20+ years ago when I still lived overthere.
We used to sail on 1/2tonners and OneTonners. It was a 3 days affair.
Here on SOL we could do (I think) in less than 48hours on a VO70. Maybe even less if we get good winds.
Also, the real race didn't allow to go thru the Ilhabela strait, but for SOL this would more interesting.
Note that in the leg from Rio to Buzios there are many little island that here on SOL we will be able to cut corners and again make the race more interesting.
The idea here is to re-live my childhood.
I hope we all have fun.
It will all depend on the wind. If we get a weekend with light winds this could turn into a painful race. But, we sailors know that already. Don't we ?
Thanks again for considering this race.
Cheers,
Antonio (Tuze1)

Transat à Deux 2025

Above you see a single-handed sailor semi-foiling his Beneteau Figaro III to the horizon. It is in fact Ireland’s Sailor of the Year and the overall winner of last year’s Solitaire du Figaro, Tom Dolan. Somehow, we got our hands on a polar for the Class, and rather than trying to surreptitiously track Tom and his mates in the 2025 edition of the Solitaire, sailing rather-short, single-handed legs across the Celtic Sea and Biscay, we thought we’d see how our virtual craft would fare on the Class’s double-handed 3900nm Trans-Atlantic, from somewhere in Brittanny to somewhere in the Caribbean via somewhere in the Canaries. Allez, mes braves!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!
