Rather short notice, but I've quickly created a kml for it. (Not 100% sure about the waypoints).

HTH,
Philip

This race is already set up and in the race calendar.. because SOL is not permitted to use the same name as an IRL race as they are mostly copyrighted these days and subject to brand sponsorship etc.. the SOL race is in the calendar as Ron Cazar (spanish for Rum Hunt) :-)

Thanks Schakel but race is already setup and hot-to-trot!!! :-D

Salut filou - this post is in the General Discussion Forum.. if you go back to the Board menu you will see a Forum called Race Calendar - it is in there you will find links to the current calendar and to the drafts for the next two months. January will appear shortly.

SOL will be racing its St Malo to Guadeloupe Ron Cazar starting 1 November at 1000utc. The IRL start is 31 October but as you will see from the SOL calendar, on that day we have the Boston timed race still running, a short/fast Swedish archipelago race and (possibly) people still finishing a race in Italian waters.

The fact the IRL boats are a little ahead of us should make our race all the more interesting!

PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2025

Welcome back to Auckland for the 2025 PIC Coastal Classic! In partnership with the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club, Sailonline is thrilled to race this iconic 118nm dash to Russell. First sailed in 1982 and inspired by early powerboat runs, it’s now a legendary multihull showdown. This year we race Ocean 50 foiling trimarans—fast, agile, and built for offshore performance. Expect tactical challenges, adrenaline-fueled downwind legs, and nail-biting lulls. Finish line rewards? Bacon butties, rum, and bragging rights in beautiful Russell!

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon 2025 - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
