Sorry, but we have to refuse this race outright. There are no wind data available to the North of 70°N and to the South of 70°S.

It is not a SOL issue. It is simply that the weather models on which SOL rely to get wind data do not produce wind forecasts for the poles.

Regards,

Francois

Would suggest Northern passage , but you also reach max 78 N , so impossible.

I'm not sure that (or why) it is not possible to load weather above 70N. NOAA and ugrib release files up to 82 N and beyond.

Francois is it possible or not, based also on Jack's ugrib file, to have a go at the Northern passage.

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
