As a direct result of comments made in the General Discussions Forum, the August Calendar is undergoing revision. The two attached pics represent the latest model - hopefully closer to a fun calendar for ALL SOLers!!!

As always... please don't hesitate to voice your "constructive" comments!!

New file for 1-21 August, now showing the August TransAt.

CLARIFICATION: Please note that the Round Britain and Ireland race is starting on SATURDAY, 31 July 2010 at 1000utc in line with the information posted on the SOL homepage and NOT as in the August Calendar.

RC, I like the proposed format. There seems like a good mix of long and short races.
Personally, when the timing is right, shorter races suit me. But, that timing can change from day to day let alone week to week and I like the mix of short & long races running together.
I appreciate the changes made so quickly, response times like this for the group will make SOL (if not already) the premier online racing platform.
Sadly, in my line of work my available time is limited. If there is something I can offer to help the team please let me know. I am not tied to a desk or computer, however I can access one at various times during the day/night. Unless I lose satellite connection (which accounts for most of my beachings during racing).
Keep up the good work.
Bear.
REVISION IN LINE WITH RECENT DISCUSSIONS!

ALTERNATIVE style of calendar - using a simple spreadsheet.

What do you think?

Much easier to read. I like it.
The spreadsheet is a plus. This is very good. Keep up the great work!

The sea is lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to sail before I sleep, And miles to sail before I sleep.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - St Helena to Cape Verde


The fourth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us out of the Pacific into the Atlantic for a 2200nm race in Judel Vrolijk 62’s, from the desolation of St Helena, there where Napolean Bonaparte saw out the end of his life, to the even greater desolation of Fogo in the Cape Verde’s. You’ll have to cross the equator, with the coasts of Africa and South America your only navigational restrictions.
