2010-07-05 19:34:13 - short races in sol databank
These have been pulled from the bottom of the archive. I checked the finish time of the leaders and the last 60% of the fleet to be sure they could be done in a weekend. This is a work in progress. More to come later.

I suggest changing some of the boats out though, a lot of the early races were run in a "40 footer". As this has a note in the archives that says "do not use". The longer races could be sailed in Seacarts or Open boats or 50~70' race boats.

Short races ready to go in sol DB:

Winter Challenge (or could be summer or fall challange) 302 mi.
In the Med, was run as a timed race in 60 ft tris, but could also be a fleet race. Winner was in 13 hrs 35 min+, top 50 under 17 hours, #400 was 2 days 1 hour 38 min.

The Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!

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
