Hi Folks!

I don't mind the name at all but because we have already done one circumcision this year can we spice this one up a little?

Along the lines of..

A Nations Cup - Best added times of say 3 national boats

A Team Challenge - let's go the whole boat babysit nine yards

Virtiual Prize for voted Best Named boat

A National Team Boat - Let's challenge ITA2011 with a USA2011, All Blacks2011, Aussie2011, Mapleleaf2011 etc etc

Let's make our race a tiny bit more interesting than the other unmentioned one!

Regards
George
I will fully suppot these sugestions!

Nations Cup - 3 or 5 best placed boats will keep the excitement way down the leaderboad!

Ahoi Sailors!

How about "South -> left -> left -> home" ?

:-D

Hi racers,

I have done some preparations on this race and would like to finish off the name in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for your input so far, are there any other great suggestions we can use?

I will have a chat and see what we can do prizes for this one as well.

"SOL ECLIPSE 2011-2012"

(An extra edge in this is that SOL in swedish means SUN)

A team challenge with best 4 boats from each country each leg would be fun.

If SOL could contribute with small prizes as mentioned above, it would be great (membership to individual winner, maybe t-shirts or caps to best team), nothing fancy or expensive, just to spice it up a bit. :-)

Just in case you're not, how about "The SOL: World Race 2011/2012"
If you are, I second the motion.

I really like the suggested : The SOL World Race 2011/2012
Or the long version The Sailonline World race 2011/2012

Any more suggestions?
I will make final preparations for the race soon so in a few days we will call the name :-)

OK Sailonline World Race 2011-2012 it is.

Lago Viedma Ice Race 2025


Less than one third of the land mass of the planet is to be found in the southern hemisphere, and most of that in tropical to temperate latitudes or in Antarctica, so it is difficult to find good natural ice to race DNs anywhere in August! However, if you take an internal flight from Buenos Aires to Aeropuerto Internacional Comandante Armando Tola de El Calafate by the shores of Lago Argentino, it’s only a 100km taxi ride to Lago Viedma, where we have set out a few beacons on the ice for you for a quick 80nm blast around the four corners of the lake, and as it’s so remote here, no need to worry about breaking the solitude of monks or suffering PL!

Marstrand to Cowes 2025


We invite you to another race, which will kick off the third quarter of our ARCH series. We'll set off from Marstrand, Sweden, which, along with Skagen, Denmark, marks the line commonly recognised as the border separating the Baltic Sea from the North Sea. The 650nm route will take our Ripitide 50 across the North Sea and the English Channel to Cowes, England. Watch out for the fast ferries crossing the Channel from Calais to Dover 😊.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Baia de l'Oiseau to Carnarvon


How ever shall I return to report with clarity to my Great Sultan – asked Sinbad. It needs be told this island and all its fables shall be expunged from the annals of every thousand and one night. The wind howls – and sun be none (it’s Winter, Sin’bro, ed.) – and all days from the west, but let’s launch anyway and see if we can work our SOL Balloon north as the days pass aiming for Asthralaya, where The Mahabharata tells the ancients once tested mighty weapons, about a quarter and a million qasbah away (2500nm, ed.), perhaps one month.
