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!

:-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.

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.
