Yes.. the race is starting on Tuesday, 25 September @2200utc which equates to Wednesday, 26 September @0730 in Adelaide, S Australia.

Aaron' birthday was 26 September.

:-)

GOTTIT - just spotted that Tyger had said Wed 25th... THANKS A2R!!!!

A2R and RC
Thanks for spotting the mistake. A "senior moment" I'm afraid. I knew the race started on the 25th and I knew that it started on Wednesday, Aus time. a case of not checking.

A3 LEG 9: GAGE ROADS TO ADELAIDE

Leg 9 of the A3 is ready for preview.
Please see .kmz file attached.
All comments welcome

This is it SOLers, the final leg of the A3.

I must say how much I have, on the one hand, enjoyed putting the series together but on the other hand wishing that I never had to do so in the first place. I haven't been a SOLer for long but my enthusiasm for SOL is down to 3 factors - RC's boundless energy in keeping everything running, AGage's generosity towards me when I first joined and everyone in the SOL community.

I hope everyone in the SOL community is looking forward to the A3 Series as much as I am.

Lets get on with the A3 - AGage's Around Australia Series.

Please note Leg1 of the A3 Series starts Tue 25 Sept @ 2200 UTC.
See new thread in Races forum.


Note: Changed name of Leg 9 to Gage Roads to Adelaide and updated .kmz file.

There's been a bit of discussion in chat about the gap between races and I think we just need to be flexible - depending on the winds we will finish some legs quicker than anticipated, some slower.

How about, roughly, 10 days to two weeks from time winner crosses the line before the start of the next one? This allows those who are slower-on-course to actually complete without being shut out of racing too soon.

What do you all think?

I'm probably least qualified to say anything, as I'm a total newbie here.

But 10 day to 2 week break seems really long considering that the legs look quite short.

I missed the start by a day but will be done in a few hours.

My 2 cents.

Great to be here BTW.

Glad to have you aboard Dana1. Welcome to SOL.

The gaps between the legs have been discussed over some time now and as things go this is about what is considered to be a 'Happy medium'.

Like Abe Lincoln used to say... "You can please some of the people... yada yada yada..."

Hope your SOL adventure will be permanent.

Cheers.

Vince

I should clarify - the idea of the "roughly one a month" is to have us finishing back in Adelaide near to the time of Aaron's 1st anniversary. I think if we make the legs a bit of a moveable feast (as stated) we should accomplish this :-)

Dana1 - Welcome to SOL and thank you for your input. If you have a look at The Race Calendar Forum you will find most upcoming races in its various threads. Due to vagaries of weather etc these can change but not usually by much!

A link to the Current Calendar is also usually findable on the SOL Homepage - due to the length of current blog entries it has shifted on to the next page at the moment but will be updated and back on the Homepage over the weekend :-D

Hi,

Thank you for the clarifications.

I think it is a great idea to time the end of the race for your friends memory. Absolutely no problem with this.

Unfortunately I did not have the chance to get to know Aaron.

Will be on future races.

Tall Ships Races 2025 - Le Havre to Dunkirk


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is between the French ports of Le Havre and Dunkirk; circa 125nm in Sailonline’s magnificent 90m Barque.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
