2010-04-24 16:39:10 - ROUND ICELAND MATCHRACING
Post annotated by RainbowChaser :
This thread was moved from the category Races.
As always, all SOLers are very welcome to join in the informal and mostly social matchraces that will be held during the run-up to the SOL race-start.

Tonight I propose a positioning cruise/race to a location that, for forecast winds, should be a better location as a matchrace start-point over the next day or so.

SO... TONIGHT (24 April 2010)

TIME: 1800utc

FROM: SOL race start

TO: 64.938 / -23.336

See you there!!

POSITIONING CRUISE/RACE

From the gun

advoplaz3375 (ITA)
Perenkist (NED)
RainbowChaser (GBR)
robert1 (SWE)
Smo (FIN)

NED Pano (NED) and Bardos (NED) are waiting a little down-course and will join in.

africa (CRO) started 22mins after the gun.

claudio - OF COURSE you can play!! EVERYONE is invited to join in.. these matchraces are run by SOLers for SOLers and everyone is most welcome.

Practice matchracing is a grand way to test out a boat polar, learn how SOL works (if you are new) and get to know a few of the other SOLers a little better than before :-)

You see me shouting about the races 'cos I am just bossy like that hehehe

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?!
