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 :-) )
"Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of who do the things no one can imagine." ~ Alan Turing
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

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!!

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon 2025 - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
