Hi RC

This is the race that Patrick suggested. We need to get hold of Patrick so that he can have an input into the Invitation and boat types etc.

Hi Jawz

Excellent - if you have a snoop at the first post in the December Calendar thread you will see I have already added it to the "to be included" list!

Hi Guys I was thinking of Calling it "Sol's Simonstown To ST.Helena Island Race" I would like the boat type to be Open 60 if Possible?
Kind Regards
Patrick :-)

Thanks Patrick and George. Long straight line courses usually end up being the most challenging - many opportunities to go in the wrong direction ;-)

I look forward to the race.

Just getting this set up - waiting for the new weather to update and then I will post a preview for you to look at.

What time is the race to start on 22 December?

Once I have that I can update the December calendar so we are all set!!

OK.

Race all set up and new weather in so it is now available to preview for a short while (to check that it looks as planned).

To view it just log in to SOL using the following credentials:

USERNAME: sol
PASSWORD: sol

and then click here

The Race Description to appear on the right hand side of the SOL screen will say this:

QUOTE
A copy of a South African December classic, SOLers are invited to race 1700nm in Open 60s from Simonstown, RSA, to the island of St Helena - exotic, remote; an island paradise with warm, friendly, hospitable islanders!
UNQUOTE

Is this OK?

UPDATE
The race has now been archived until it will be raced.

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.
