2010-03-04 19:36:46 - Scheduling of new races
Dear all,

Over the last few weeks, we have not been able to run as many of your race proposals as we would like. There have been some real races to run, the problem with the first Zilt, some overload, etc.

Furthermore, the race committee assumes that it is more difficult for a majority of SOLers to participate in week races than in week-end races. As a consequence, the race committee is a bit reluctant to field a race that has been proposed by one of you as a week race, as we like the person who has proposed the race to enjoy participating in his own race.

The consequence is that we tend to rerun existing races as week races, and that there is a bit of a jam in scheduling your race proposals as week-end races.

Thus, something that would really help the race committee schedule your race proposals more rapidly would be for those of you who have proposed a race that could fit either as a week race or as a week-end race, and for whom running the proposed race as a week race would be fine, to come forward.

The race committee will probably be able to schedule these races relatively rapidly.

This is of course not the case for those of you who have proposed ocean races. Drag races are also not so easy to schedule, but for altogether different reasons.

Thanks,

Francois

Tall Ships Races 2025 - Le Havre to Dunkirk

NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
