2011-01-24 21:33:47 - Florida-Bahamas-Florida Race
*UPDATE 2 - I would prefer to use a j30, since this is close to the boat I race on now. The coarse I have proposed is 222.2NM. I can modify the start/finish lines so they are outside the inlets to the ports. So it can be one continuous race, not a problem. Thanks for the input and advice.
If possible, it might be best to have the race before hurricane season (June1-November 30) I am not sure how the weather is done in the simulator, but wouldn't be good to race in 100+knt winds!
We usually don't do any long races during hurricane season, just short "sprints" between inlets. This is usually our Points Series races.
*UPDATE - Google Earth Map added.*

This is a 3 leg race.
Leg 1:Leave Port of Palm Beach Florida, arrive in Freeport Bahamas.
Leg 2: Leave Freeport Bahamas, arrive in Port of Miami Florida.
Leg 3: Leave Port of Miami Florida, arrive in Port of Palm Beach Florida.

I think it would be interesting to actually leave from and arrive in the actual Ports. Leaving out of the inlets and arriving in the inlets.

Perhaps limiting the race to 50 boats

Any sailors in Martin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach Counties?

Would love to submit a race proposal with the file sharing program/website. Doesn't work for me though, whatever I try.
Oh well, what now?
Thanks.

Hi CKHANSEN - that looks great. Super complete proposal and a nice course as well. I think a bunch of the usual helpers are super busy, so the silence is not a commentary on your race for sure.

Playing to SOL's strengths, we most often join up legs under a certain length to make one longer race, and your course would probably suit that. One advantage is that time-of-day problems worldwide sort of average out a bit.

Do you have a boat suggestion? It seems like we always end up in Seacarts when we visit the Bahamas!

CKHANSEN - thank you for your proposal. Its great to have another race from the other side of the pond!! As 76T said you/we do need to pick a boat/polar to use.

I can, in any event, set up the race in the server with a random choice of boat (which can be changed) and then you can see how the course will appear with the three legs amalgamated into a weekend race of about 218nm.

Once we have the boat type chosen, the race can then be archived until programmed in the race calendar.


I don't know if you have looked in the Race Calendar Forum yet, but when you do you will find the Current Calendar as well as draft calendars for upcoming months as/when posted so can see what is on the cards and what is being proposed. All comments/suggestions are v welcome!

I have set your race up in SOL - all that is needed now is a fun description that will appear below the race name in the RH column.

Your race has been called CKHANSENS's TRIO as I thought that sounded fun too.. but obviously the name can be changed to whatever you prefer.

To see your race, just log in as the sol boat.

USERNAME: sol
PASSWORD: sol

and then use this url:

http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/350/

Once you have checked and like what you see, and we have added the race description, then the race will be archived until we use it. Pre-June for sure!!

hehe RC your three-legged race is missing a leg ;-)

The run back up the coast would be a fun one, and maybe going around Virginia Key or a buoy in the harbour would add something?

Yeah i just noticed that.
Rainbow, can we have it finish at Port of Palm Beach?
That means we would have to pass a mark to the west out side the inlet to Port of Miami.

&^,
I orginally had it into the Port of Miami and out again and up the coast.
I am sure it is not a big deal to put in the final leg up the coast.
I have tons of ideas for races around here.
They are short and some longer ones.

Red Eye - Hobart Convict Run 2026

Back in 2010, one of our SOLers of the first hour, AUS_Scott76, came up with this ‘Convict Run’ out from Hobart, past Cape Raoul and the penal colony of Port Arthur, round Tasman Island, up and back down the east coast of Tasmania, to finish with a tight technical run – so Scott called it – up the picturesque D'entrecasteaux Channel, home to Hobart once again. It’s 250nm, ideal for a bit of ‘Red Eye’ in comfortable Finngulf 43’s, and if the original idea was to pick up some convicts on the way for a bit of R&R and sea air, you may always drop’m back before returning to Hobart!

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville


Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Robinson Crusoe to Galapagos


Welcome to our first race of a new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, this first race taking you north from south of the Tropic of Capricorn to the Equator-straddling Galapagos, home of magical iguanas and other exotic fauna (but no mythical kings, Dory) Departing from the island where in 1704 adventurer Alexander Selkirk inspired Daniel Defoe to write the best-seller "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", by debarking off the unsound "HMS Cinque Ports", four months before she foundered off the coast of present-day Colombia, we will sail the 2200nm in our decidedly sounder and faster than the " Cinque Ports",
