Hi.
I have a proposal here. It's a course around Comoros islands.

I enjoyed creating it and comments are welcome.

garganey - thank you so much!!! The other evening I was watching a programme on television about Madagascar and the incredible creatures there and it occurred to me that SOL didn't have a race in that area at all so... your course is exactly what we need!!

I will set it up in SOL over the next wee while (no longer than 24hrs) so you can then have a look at it and we can, if need be, fine tune it :-)

Good morning garganey

The Comoros Cruise is now set up, with a new weathersystem and map for E Africa, so... to see how it looks just log in as the sol boat:

Username: sol
Password: sol

and then click here

Let me know if it looks good so we can then archive it before it is needed.

Do you have a preference for when it is raced?

@SP Trying to find information and it looks like the area now is between seasons and that the Kusi season starts in April but i dont know about windspeeds.

@RC
If you can move waypoint 2 a little bit north the course will be perfect.
I have no prefered race date you can find a gap in the calender for me.

garganey - Nzwani N now moved :-)

Please double check (if you wish).

I will be archiving your race tomorrow before the tow-back for the Malaren race start, so you have 12hrs or so to check!!

Thank you again for picking a fascinating destination!

:-)

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
