Hi all ^^ I tried to make a run on google earth I hope it's not too bad a race that takes place around the small islands of Saint Nazaire. I think we can use a a First40.7 or a seacart 47 ^^ Sincerely flouflou


P:S I don't know when the race can be play ^^

Merci flouflou - I have uploaded this file to the SOL Race Committee forum on YahooGroups (go to YahooGroups and find the group sailonline_rc ) so it will be in the queue to be loaded on to SOL!!

:-)
"dicover with flouflou, in a 170 nm (aproximatly) the islands situated around St Nazaire and the beautiful french coast" is good for the tilte ?? rc or more long???? I think a first 40 is a good boat, with a first 40, the race will be duration aproximatly 2 days or less.... is good????

flouflou - that loosk pretty good for a description to me ..unless you also wish to say a small something about St Nazaire (where we will start) and La Baule (where we will finish? I imagine both have a long history of yachting?

Thank you for confirming the boat type!

flouflou - OK!!! Well maybe you can ask in French chat if some of the IRL sailors there have an idea of what can be said to "publicise" your excellent race?
dicover with flouflou, in a 170 nm (aproximatly) the islands situated around St Nazaire and finish the race on the beautiful beach of baule...


Sorry rc, i have no much idea
"This race starts in one of the largest port in France, Saint Nazaire it continues through ile d'yeu, belle ile, ile groix et l'ile d'houat and it ends on one of the most beautiful beaches France in La Baule".

Red Eye - Hobart Convict Run 2026

Back in 2010, one of our SOLers of the first hour, AUS_Scott76, came up with this ‘Convict Run’ out from Hobart, past Cape Raoul and the penal colony of Port Arthur, round Tasman Island, up and back down the east coast of Tasmania, to finish with a tight technical run – so Scott called it – up the picturesque D'entrecasteaux Channel, home to Hobart once again. It’s 250nm, ideal for a bit of ‘Red Eye’ in comfortable Finngulf 43’s, and if the original idea was to pick up some convicts on the way for a bit of R&R and sea air, you may always drop’m back before returning to Hobart!

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville


Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Robinson Crusoe to Galapagos


Welcome to our first race of a new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, this first race taking you north from south of the Tropic of Capricorn to the Equator-straddling Galapagos, home of magical iguanas and other exotic fauna (but no mythical kings, Dory) Departing from the island where in 1704 adventurer Alexander Selkirk inspired Daniel Defoe to write the best-seller "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", by debarking off the unsound "HMS Cinque Ports", four months before she foundered off the coast of present-day Colombia, we will sail the 2200nm in our decidedly sounder and faster than the " Cinque Ports",
