2011-07-01 13:25:54 - Bohusracet - from spackel
Some time ago spackel proposed that SOL races the Bohusracet. The request was sitting on the shelf, but I am pleased to say the race is now set up and needs to be previewed to make sure that waypoints are in the right place(s) and that the course rhumbline makes sense!

Please feel free to check the race out as the sol boat:

Username: sol

Password: sol

And then click here.

Please post any comments/changes here!

Thanks spackel - this is great timing as we can probably fit this race in among the Tall Ships as they pass by from Stavanger to Halmstad!! Will make a fun contrast!!

Please note the race will stay open for preview for a couple of days.

The two marks in the water (Ulholmens kalv and Mjölkskärsfyr) are supposed to be passed on the inside, e.g. mark on starbord.

One more point, they have actually shortened the race to finish in Smögen this year. Perhaps we could change the course to be like in the attached pic.

Hi spackel - course changed.. how does it now look to you?

You said
The two marks in the water (Ulholmens kalv and Mjölkskärsfyr) are supposed to be passed on the inside, e.g. mark on starbord.
- the first on is a "pass on inside" but I have removed the second so that folks then have the choice of going inside or not. Due to the way the SOL rhumline works to force an inside there would require several other waypoints which would look untidy I think.

AHOY SOLers this race was due to run this weekend but as we will (probably) still be running our Square Riggers down to Halmstad, something tells me that sailing J80s at the same time in the same waters might not be that much fun!

SO

It has been moved to race on Saturday, 18 September :-)

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.

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!
