Board » Practice Racing » 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

can i play?
Nizz
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

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
