Thanks RC and Stoerte I agree a Full series with no drops makes it more fun and the winner will have to give a very good fight and will be more challenging because I don't think its fair if the winner only sails 6 races and the rest sail 10 races and second nearly beats 1st I have to go for no drops (sorry for the long message just trying to show what I think :-) )

Quite agree with Tazu, Rod and Stoerte (and Patrick)... No drops in this one. All results should count... sweat it out SOLers...
I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

Love it Tyger, to think that I wanted to move to Green Island 25 years ago. Still had the money :)

OK folks, Leg 7 is now ready for preview/comments.

Think all looks good - only q maybe is the finish in Darwin as part of the finish line is obscured. We can fix this by EITHER making the finish line shorter and moving it a tad so it just overlaps the bay entrance, OR moving it outside the bay.

View please!!

Leg 7 is now archived until needed

To check the race, do the following:

Log in as SOL:

and then click here

P.S. Aaron's mom agrees that he would have been a "no drops" guy so.. the series will be ALL 9 results counting :-D

I've been tinkering with the draft blogpost for this race - an introductory blog that will set the scene - to see what I have come up with please click here

and... of course, let me know what you think of it!

We really do want to get this to be one of SOL's biggest ever participations, if possible!

Deadline for comments - as I think we need to have this up on the homepage, shortly before Leg 1 opens for practice, the deadline for comments will have to be 1400utc tomorrow, Friday 20 September. That allows 24hrs!! :-D

As no comments posted or received, apart from corrections to the map of AUS, I will shortly be putting the intro blog on the Homepage! Let's start getting this show on the road!!

Transat à Deux 2025

Above you see a single-handed sailor semi-foiling his Beneteau Figaro III to the horizon. It is in fact Ireland’s Sailor of the Year and the overall winner of last year’s Solitaire du Figaro, Tom Dolan. Somehow, we got our hands on a polar for the Class, and rather than trying to surreptitiously track Tom and his mates in the 2025 edition of the Solitaire, sailing rather-short, single-handed legs across the Celtic Sea and Biscay, we thought we’d see how our virtual craft would fare on the Class’s double-handed 3900nm Trans-Atlantic, from somewhere in Brittanny to somewhere in the Caribbean via somewhere in the Canaries. Allez, mes braves!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!
