Rainbow..A timed race would be fun. My favourite is the Boston, but the main things are....windy and a fast boat...VO 70 is the best....and it can be anywere....The Aluetians (?) could perhaps be a good place...Robert

Robert - did you not see that there IS a timed race already included?? At the moment it is Cowes-St Malo but it might be a longer one in that same area :-)
In FEB, I designed and submitted 3 races with not a single comment from the SOL community. Ah well... perhaps no interest. Will just keep on sailing quietly.
I have also designed a few races. Even have a race seriess now called 2011 SOJORA Series.
No races have been posted, but I am sure they will be.
Have patience... I am sure we are not the only ones designing and submitting races.
Its fun designing them anyway.
St. Lucie - Jupiter Ocean Racing Association (SJORA)
ShamPir - I am so sorry.. there was I thinking I was up to date with setting up SOLer races.. at least so they are happily sitting in the archive waiting for a slot time... and I read your post.

I have revisited the Race Proposals Forum and will be endeavouring to make up for not working on your races before now.

Oddly enough as my closest chum lives just S of Tampa I had been thinking a race on that side of FL would be fun and.. voila! you have made one for us!!

I will post in the Race Proposals Forum as soon as each race is set up so you can have a look at how it will appear when being raced.

@RC pls schedule my 'short adriatic race' asap as a Weekend race starting i.e. Friday 1. April if that slot is still free ;)
start time friday at 10UTC and finish Sunday at 17 UTC would be most 'realistic'.

mmartin - we "discussed" this in the Race Proposals forum and your race is scheduled for 1 April @ 1800utc. This time is good as 1 April is a Friday and it is morning in Australia/NZ, early morning in USA and evening in Europe/Africa.

So.. hopefully.. a bunch of people will sign up to race in our first Adriatic race on SOL!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Cocos to Sagar Island


Kapil Muni, incarnation of Lord Vishnu, founder of the Samkhya school of philosophy, disturbed from his meditation, in his wrath reduced the 60,000 sons of Sagar to ashes, as they dug the earth to retrieve the sacrificial horse that Lord Indra, the king of the Gods, stole off Sagar, thus creating the Sagara (ocean). Aeons later, Bhagiratha, a descendant of Sagara, asked Ganga to cleanse the ashes of the 60,000 princes, and her resultant torrential fall from heaven created the great river and where it met the ocean, the princes’ souls were washed and raised to heaven and Gangasagar (Sagar Island) was formed. So, let us join the pilgrimages to Kapi Muni’s Temple (see above) and race 2400nm from Cocos Island deep in the Sagara thence, in rather rapid Rapido 60s.

SSANZ Triple Series 2026 - Race 3

Welcome to the grand finale of this year's SSANZ Triple Series! The stage is set for the Lewmar 50, a thrilling 40nm challenge tracing the southern shores of the stunning Waiheke Island, pushing out to Tarahiki before the sprint back to Islington Bay. Expect fast legs, tactical battles, and no shortage of drama as our SOLers take on the waters in their Young 88s, lining up once again against the talented IRL members of the Young 88 Association. With the series on the line and everything still to fight for, it all comes down to this final race!

The Vineyard Race 2026


For the 16th consecutive year, our SOLers are invited to tackle this iconic 250nm overnighter. The classic route charges out through the sound, leaves Buzzards Bay Light to starboard, rounds Block Island to starboard, and heads home.

This year's weapon of choice is the Beneteau First 47.7. A proven performer since its 2012 SOL debut, this Farr-designed cruiser/racer excels at leading real and virtual handicap fleets. Success will demand sharp tactical navigation, so watch the polars closely to conquer the sound's shifting winds!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!
