Posted by Anchoilla Posts 12 Registered at 2011-04-22 15:47:56	2013-04-15 17:49:25 - Nine islands, nine lights
	Hi, SOLers, I want to propose you a race around the small island I live, work and sail: Formentera. Herewith I upload a pdf with the general concepts of the event. I do hope SOLers accept to enjoy, virtually at least, our beautiful waters. Please, ask me whatever you want to know about the project or the island itself. Thank you for your interest.

	Hola Anchoilla - that really has to be one of the best ever race proposals I have had the honour to view! It is just brilliant... Gracias for all your work and preparation. Just one small thing - please would you make the waypoints in Decimal Degrees to save me having to do that (to set them up in SOL they need to be Decimal Degrees and not Degrees Minutes Seconds). BRAVO!

	Thanks for your kind words, RC. For sure I translate the waypoints to Decimal Degrees. Thanks elbetico, thanks Claudio. --- Last Edited by Alfonso Biescas at 2013-04-15 21:26:07 ---

	I have translated the waypoints to Decimal Degrees and made some changes. I do hope you'll like this version. Thanks. Ancho Attachments 02.Nine_islands.pdf (1.5 MB)

	Still as fabulous as when I first read it. It is such a pleasure to receive a quality race proposal We have a race starting this evening and I am setting up another for the weekend at the moment so I will set this up for preview over the next few days so we can make sure it looks good in SOL and then we can pick a date, based on the SOL Racing Year when it will be good to run. Do you have specific dates in mind for it?

	Thank you again, RC. I think a good date could be June 22th, starting at 8.00 UTC. It is week end and the race could take about 24h long. But the date SOL team choose sure will be right.

	I have prepared a .kmz document in Google Earth, following the SOL manual. Thank you for your interest Attachments Nine_Islands_nine_lights.kmz (4.8 KB)

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!

San Francisco to Ushuaia 2024

After a superlong RTW-leg3 (27 days), we have had a month to recover, and maintain our boat, in order to continue our around the world race. Leg 4, even longer than the previous, takes us from California to the world's southernmost city Ushuaia. No waypoints, even "the Ditch" is an option, but maybe a bit too much of a treat. With 6300 nm to go, the estimated duration of this race 29 days. This course is also the August edition of our ocean race championship.
