Hi folks

Its nearly time for the first of this year's trio of B&G/SSANZ Simrad races.

In 2010 SOL sailed a Young 88, in 2011 we sailed a Young 11(mod). We now need to choose ourselves a competitive boat from SOL's BOATHOUSE

Here is the Simrad Seriescurrent entry list- we need to pick something that will be reasonably competitive!!

Longhaul. Which reminds me I need to setup the courses now we have hi-res mapping for NZ (in previous years I have had to reuse an old NZ map but not any longer!). Thanks!!

Not sure which SOLers are sailing IRL this time but WairuaExpress, PaulR and yachtyakka often participate (shorthaul/longhaul).

Yes indeed sailing on Panacea a Stewart 34 in the Short Haul division. All boats are 2 handed.

On crew.org.nz I also run results for the
"OLD FARTS" competition. I add the ages of the two crew members + four times the age of the yacht and from the average ages, make an adjusting OLD FARTS factor that is then applied to the TCF result and then adjusted for the 3 different race lengths over all who enter on crew.org.nz.

See Page 10 for 2011 Results

The aim is to see if young brash people who hoist spinnakers and do massive wipeouts, broaches etc are better than the older sailors who are more considerate of their advancing years and practice seamanship.

There is also a "His & Hers" division and last year one "Hers & Hers" yacht. Another prize was for the greatest fantastic, frightening, fabulous or just
f*%#ing muckup!!

At stake for 1st places in individual races and overall results were TWO bottles of Mt Gay Silver Rum with TWO bottles of Mt Gay Eclipse Rum for 2nds & 3rds, and a certificate per boat.

Can't have skippers drinking alone can we?????

All rum was gratefully recieved!!!!!!!
I even one one bottle myself!!

This year I plan to have:
a certificate for each crew member

as well as more rum . . . hic

I suggest young 11 for the longhaul. The other boats mentioned do shorthaul courses.

I don't think I'll be doing the race IRL this year.

Thanks guys!

Paul love the "old farts" factor... not sure we can do that virtually plus, of course, we don't have the rum!!

Scotsman - sorry you can't race IRL this year but hopefully our interactivity with SSANZ will make the SOL version a reasonable (virtual) alternative :-)

Young 11 t'will be again!

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.
