Nice idea - I have emailed 76T to see if he can find a polar for an appropriate-for-SOL (modern) design based on Colin Archer's originals.

If you have such a boat in mind, do let us know!!

Methinks sailing the Fram would take a little too long??

I believe registration irl is open for a lot of yachts, so it doesn't really matter that much. the original would be a little slow, as you say. something like an x 46 cruiser/racer could give sufficient speed

Perenkist - for a moment I thought we had got another SOLer interested!!

76T is going to see what he can come up with!

Between the two of you I am sure SOL will choose the right polar!!

I noticed the IRL sail date.. sadly it won't be possible for us to race at the same time (there are also some "name" considerations to think of) but we will definitely do the race once we have the right polar etc.

As I am sure you know, SOL has to be careful when running races at the same time as IRL ones. If an IRL race has a big sponsor that has paid a lot of money for the privilege of associating its brand with the race, then SOL can find itself open to ligitgation, even though SOL makes no money from the process!!

I am well aware of that, found some old posts of you, even a letter about this. A shame, but sol has to deal with it. But it's great that the race will be run! Krimpvrij raced it two times irl, years ago!

Beware of polar bears and don't take them on board your Xp-55, because while they may look pleasant, they are very dangerous.
