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.

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?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
