	Can we actually do a race next leg without dividing the fleet in to two groups? A start start with 900+ boats at the same time will be really cluttered.

	I thought we ALL started at the same time. What happened this time was lots of "new" sailors joined after the start and the different weather and the many "new" late starters self divided the fleet into 2 divisions. However, SYC members vs NON-members is possible idea? Northern Hemisphere vs Southern Hemisphere, but this will stop all the KIWIS beating the Rest of the World. Real Life sailors vs Arm chair sailors Coloured boats in seperate divisions, but "MY" bright Pink boat will ave no competition!! (can't have any racial overtones here can we?) Veterns of 5+ races vs New sailors Good sailors vs Bad sailors is a very hard call to get right So only solution is "ONE MASSED" start. We can''t have "new" starters join at the front of the fleet can we??? Get real. Take a concrete pill, practice in this race even, if you are last, and start on time in the next race! RTFM!! Real racing is about winners! So expect to fall 400+ places if you get things wrong, like I have in the Doldrums, but I'm trying to improve now.

	Hi Wow, I personally like the ideas big time. Challenges between continents, countries, etc would be fantastic! Maybe if we ask Wiz kindly he could extend his ranking... ...one of the guys behind the game...

	Jakob: I think your getting over excited and are starting to "stutter" again. Do you need a concrete pill too? LOL (8^))))))))) (If you delete your stutters, you can delete this post as well!! Cheers) If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	I see the pso6ts here show real names, not boat names. look for NZL_PaulR currently languishing at a lowly P#494 If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback

Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos

Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
