2010-09-30 12:32:58 - VORG is back

Sigh, I was hoping that VOR would choose SOL...
I wonder if they have had any spies here so that the arcade game gets playable this time

I suspect that the "open racing committee" was a solid peeking hole into SOL. But I'm never going back.

"The new version of the game will offer tons of new features including advanced weather options, routing options and integrated social media elements such as Twitter"

OMG I cannot wait to see the advanced weather/routing options :DDDDDD

Stand by people....Last week I sent a mail to our Sol committee regarding the VORG....Something interesting is being looked at behind the scenes.

Dont ask me for details yet. We are still investigating our options!!!

The Volvo Ocean Race doesn't begin until November 2011...and interestingly enough SOL's own Earths Oceans Kiwi Double race, deferred from this year, has a similar course :-D

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
