Second Ouzo Practice Race 18:00 UTC Tue July 13.
For the second race we will hold a rabbit start race (also known as a gate start). Shortly after new weather is posted (apx 17:35~17:50 hours) I will post the course in chat (English...sorry I'm not good at any other language). At near 18:00 I will leave the start buoy (Mark 1) on a starboard reach. 5 Minutes later I will turn back and reach back to the start mark on port tack (hopefully reaching the start mark at 18:10). At the mark I will haul in and go best VMG upwind still on port. At this point the race is on. All the boats in the race will start by crossing my stern. They will all be on starboard tack. I will maintain port tack till I reach lay line to the mark or to clear any obstruction. So if anyone sees any advantage in starting down the line they may do so. After I have tacked the start line is the line from Mark 1 to my tack point (because of the server delay in updating tracks this may appear to move for a couple of minutes). I will start the course to as close to straight upwind as possible. After that at least one reaching leg, and anything else I can throw in and keep it close to 1.5 ~ 2 hours. Oh yes: Rule 18-- (a) No sniveling. Rule 1 (1) (a)--Have fun.

This only confirms what I have suspected for some time now, the sol boat is faster than regular boats.
I accept the role as proposed & will preside over the next rabbit start to be held in 1 week on the Chi-Mac course at the usual time. (7/20/2010, 18:00 utc) This will allow the race to be conducted during local daylight conditions. The course will be an AC style format, 3 upwind/downwind legs, the distance between the marks to be determined by the available wind to allow the event to be completed in the desired nominal time. --- Last Edited by Aethereal at 2010-07-13 23:51:48 --- None so blind |

The 650nm route will take our Ripitide 50 across the North Sea and the English Channel to Cowes, England. Watch out for the fast ferries crossing the Channel from Calais to Dover 😊.

Nantucket Sprint 2025
Welcome to Nantucket, from whence Herman Melville’s Cap’n Ahab sailed round The Horn into the northern Pacific Ocean to hunt the gray whale - whose migrations are celebrated elsewhere in SOL’s Q4 schedule - he never to return. And whaling too, as the 19th C progressed, like Ahab disappeared from Nantucket as the harbour silted up and mainland Massachusetts whaling stations benefited from rail connections. But beach life, yachting and nostalgia has rescued the island from oblivion, so to celebrate leisure, SOL gives you the Nantucket Sprint - 25nm in 29er_XX’s from east of Tuckernuck Island across the sound to a finish just inside the mouth of the harbour. Enjoy!

Aland Sea TIMED Race
Norrtalje Segelsallskap, 70km NE of Stockholm was founded in 1920, and time was when the society’s season opened with a challenging offshore race from the club line off Flaten island at the mouth of the long and narrow Norrtaljeviken, out onto a triangular course around the Aland Sea, to finish at Simpnas slightly to the north on Bjorko island - some 78nm in total. A fine race that SOL, being from these parts, ran annually up until 2013. Last run in autumn 2018, we return here to race the course again in the form a TIMED RUN in spanking new Club Swan 50s.
