CKH - haven't got a race date.. it might be as soon as March, though, as its good for the race calendar to have a race in each of SOL's main timezones each month :-) That's the intention anyway!

You also need to select a suitable starting time.. the sort-of rule being trialled at the moment is:

Mon-Fri - the utc equiv of local 1800hrs
Sat-Sun - the utc equiv of lcoal 1000hrs

BUT race designers can pick the start-time for their races!!

SJORA Florida Current Race 2011

Ahhhh warm sunny ocean race! Strip of the foul weather gear and sail in your shorts!

A quick sprint up the SouthEast Coast of Florida, finishing where you started in Port of Palm Beach Florida. Stay awake for this one!

Skimmer Dragonfly - India to East Africa 2026


In the autumn, when the rains stop and the tourists thicken in Goa and along the north western coast of India, globe skimming dragonfly climb to the skies (up to 1500m) to catch the high-altitude ITCZ winds and glide south west to East Africa. We’ll stay at sea level, where alas the winds will be less predictable, and race them there, the whole 2400nm of the way, in Carkeek 40s.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
