2011-11-19 01:09:13 - Great Lakes Inclusive
I do not believe that SOL has, as of yet, sailed on the waters of Lake Ontario.

A couple of viable options may be found here:

http://www.lo300.org/racers-info/courses

P.S.

Technically speaking SOL has dropped anchor there (Lake Erie Round the Islands Challenge #307) but certainly a full scale course has yet to be devised.

Lake St. Clair is the red-headed stepchild of the Great Lakes & The Detroit River is not visible under current SOL map rendering technology.

Just saying . . .

Port Huron to Niagara Falls would be Da Bomb

Hey 76!!

Don't jest. Some time ago I made a half hearted proposal that this sort of thing be applied in SOL. I feel that it would appeal to the younger sailors getting into SOL. It might make more new sailors have an extra incentive to sail with us here.

Others you might include for yourself are;

Club Champion - Ranking 1
Master mariner - Top 10 results sailor

Cheers Jawz! Anyone else? :)

Club Champion: Held SYC #1.
Master Mariner: Held SYC Top Ten.
Race Win: Individual race winner.
Outstanding Service: Service above and beyond.

#307 - how about that... missed that one nice catch! A few race ideas here - some more practical than others.

76, I LOVE this!!

Don't know where you find them.

1) Honour of Triton; 25 consecutive starts and finishes (no DNS/DNF)
Honour of Poseidon; 50 consecutive starts and finishes (no DNS/DNF)

2) How/where would these be displayed? Suggest on the SYC Ranking page under the SOLers name.

3) How far back do we go for calculating badges? 12months/24months/The Big Bang??

4) I volunteer to help with research if there is a data repository to review.

Cool idea!

Natuna Sea Race 2026


At 4.0N 108.2E lies the island of Natuna Besar, Great Natuna, surrounded by at least 154 islands, of which 127 uninhabited, Indonesia’s Natuna Regency, and all around this archipelago, the Natuna Sea, bordered by Borneo to the east, the Java Sea to the south, and the Malay peninsula to the west, and extending north to cross a disputed international border with China into the South China Sea. And it’s a border that matters, there’s gas here! But why worry, let’s race – 2050nm in our goo’ol’ Open 60s in between the production platforms, prowling destroyers and submarines.

Panama Canal 2026


Sailing in the Panama Canal isn't the best idea, and organizing a race there is simply impossible and unfeasible IRL. In SOL, we have slightly different rules, so why not? A 36nm, frantic race awaits us, and the fast Dehler 30 OD will help us navigate the Panama Canal with grace.

The race back to Sydney rewards those who read the conditions best, manage their speed wisely, and stay focused until the final approach.
