I want to propose some races to be race in Mini 6,50 boats like "Les Sables - Azores - Les Sables", do I have to post the boat's polars too?

SOL already has polars for a Mini 650.

We have a polar for the mini650.

Last october we did the 'Poor mans race', a race in two legs from Charente via Madeira to Salvador Brasil.

So keep in mind that those 2 legs already exist in SOL (you don't need to remake them)

But of course, the race you proposed is slightly different... looking forward to your proposal!

(I am also a mini650 fan!)
my other boat is a kiteboard =)

Now that you mentioned (leg races) I have some more (newbie) questions about them:

1 - Should we post ONE kmz with all legs or separate them in several diferent races.

2 - How do the results work for those that are not members of SOL if the legs are considered diferent races. Do they keep there position from leg to leg? Restart every race?

(Sorry to ask, probably alot of SOL racers already know the answers, but I never raced a leg race before)

1. I prefer a separate kmz for each leg.

2. It is easy to create a separate ranking for a series of races. We did so for example for the 3 legs of the Bosphore - Bretagne Race (link at the bottom of right column). However, you need to join the SYC to be included in any ranking except the ones for individual races.

Thus, the message is: please join the SYC!
;)

Francois

Here we go again...

I need help to translate a traditional koordinate pos. N13"26.48´to the system Google Earth use.

Is just to divide 26 with 60 minutes and then divide 48 with 60 seconds?

Or does anyone have any better formula to convert my old pos. to N13.xxxxxx?

Is there a Polar for Linjett40 available?

I don´t know so much about sailing boats.
Is it possible to upload a picture of boat to the .kmz-folder in Google Earth?

You can change Google Earth coordinate system in Tools/Options

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 3

Leg Three of our Round North Island Series, in partnership with SSANZ, keeps the pressure on! From Cook Strait, the fleet turns north for a 187 nautical mile passage up the east coast to Napier. It may look like a quick overnighter, but shifting coastal winds and the ever-lively Cook Strait demand sharp focus. In our responsive Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed racer and powerful downwind performer, tactical decisions and precise timing will make all the difference!

The start time for this race may change at short notice to align with the real race. The confirmed start date and time will be announced via an in-race “L” flag message — Please monitor race communications closely.

Dyer Dhow Derby 2026


Most winter weekends, SOLer wsguerin and his friends at the Mamaroneck Frostbite Association venture forth on Long Island Sound to race Dyer Dhows, originally designed as WWII tenders. Indestructible little boats, great comradeship and serious short sharp races of 10 to 20 minutes duration. Sailonline now invites you to experience the joys of the Dhow in winter, virtually, by way of a slightly longer 14nm race: from Mamaroneck to Execution Rocks, over to the Gong Buoy and back to Mamaroneck. And if the wind pipes up to 20kn and beyond, you'll find SOL's customized polar will plane, rather than nosedive!

South China Sea Race 2026


Welcome all to the South China Sea and a virtual chase in Cookson 50’s of the Rolex South China Sea fleet, racing 650nm – as the local red-footed booby flies – from Hong Kong to Subic Bay on the southern tip of The Philippines’ Luzon Island. Chances are it will be a fast downwind ride, so see how you can keep up with the real-life fleet which we hope to be able to follow on our monitors.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 2

Leg Two of our Round North Island Series is where the real challenge begins. After Mangonui, our SOLers face a demanding 491nm passage around the top of the North Island and down the rugged west coast toward Cook Strait. Long miles, exposed waters, and relentless tactical choices will test every SOLer. In our powerful Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed performer and true downwind flyer, endurance, timing, and smart routing will be key to success!

The start time for this race may change at short notice to align with the real race. The confirmed start date and time will be announced via an in-race “L” flag message — Please monitor race communications closely.

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.
