2012-12-12 22:50:28 - BA-Rio Race - proposed by zero
Hi all

zero has proposed that SOL runs a traditional race between Argentina and Brazil - the BA-Rio race (BA=Buenos Aires and Rio=Rio de Janeiro). There is word "on the street" that this classic race will be run again in reality in 2014 so SOL will be running ahead of reality this time.

To check the race as currently set up, please just log in as the sol boat:

USERNAME: sol

PASSWORD: sol

and then click here

Once we are happy with this the race will be archived until raced.

Joanne,

Thank you very much to set up this fantastic race.
I hope everyone participate. This was once a premier race in South America that lost out of favor for many reasons, none about the sailing. There is a great posibility that it will happen again in 2014.
We in the meantime can race here on SOL. Doesn't get better than that.

See you at the line,
Antonio (zero)

OK - the race will stay open for preview until tomorrow evening (Sunday evening), then it will be archived until we race it.

:-)

18dec12: I gave folks an extra day to check it out... in the absence of any amendments, I am now closing the race until we run it!

Hi Zero,

I am looking around in the forum for a nice little race we can run and came across your post.

Did you discuss a possible start time or date with Joanne or is this race done in a specific time of year?

Current Races:

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2025


SOL’s SRC (Sailonline Race Committee) has taken us to some unusual places in the past, and San Lorenzo Island off Lima’s Callao peninsula is definitely another one. Housing a naval base and a penal institution, no vessel is allowed within 300m of its shores. Also, with no sources of potable water, it is a matter of debate whether it is an island at all, and not just a large rock. So, whatever you do, don’t be tempted to BBQ; you’ll be arrested and go thirsty! We return for the first time since 2018 to race thirteen potentially unlucky miles in J-30s; have fun!!

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!
