OK, sneak preview time.

Do you think we need to add a North Head waypoint (headland opposite RAYC) so that those who don't max zoom to start can see to go round the headland? For the start at least?

Per instructions: My only comment on the Three Kings Race, is the Start location.

Depending on start time, (wrong for somebody, somewhere.) and depending on wind, it looks like a tricky DC Start.

That might turn off people from entering?

We often see smaller fleets than those registered. (You have to register to see the details of the start location.)

Didn't manage to see the race online but I've no objection to moving the start line. Although, it isn't hard to set a dc for the first turn, so it isn't the toughest start line out there. The recent start to A3 was much more difficult and that still had a good turn out.

The kmz file had marks set up? I had Cape Brett rather than Cape Rodney and all the 3 Kings islands included. The marks you have set up are fine though and make no difference to the race.

Note that North Cape is called Cape Reinga. That is the only revision required.

Hi Scotsman - I have renamed North Cspe NZ to Cape Reinga and I have switched Cape Rodney for Cape Brett.

When I decided to set the race up yesterday I totally forgot to load your kmz.. I am v sorry.

However, we can't have a mark in the middle of the island group as the sailing line would require us to duck inside it (its how the server sets marks vs line) and the NOR has us leaving the entire group to port.

:-)

Maybe my idea of putting a mark on North Head will help folks with setting DCs for the start?

Magical Mediterranean 2026 - Benghazi to Korcula

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
