	Post annotated by jakob : This thread was moved from the category General Discussion. Dear all, Race suggestions are of course welcomed from all members of the SailOnline community.However, it is a privilege only of those with SYC Membership to design and submit formal races. To propose a new-to-SOL race, simply use and then post the resulting kmz file, together with a brief description of what you propose in a new thread in this Forum. then Once you have your Google Earth file, please start a thread in this Forum with the race name as its title so that SOLers can see your proposal. ______________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2015-07-10 20:18:14 ---

	That was fast. Your race is almost ready to go! I would like to have a test run in January before the real thing at the end of June. I was thinking of starting it either on Saturday 23 January as a week-end race, or on Tuesday 26 January as a week race. Do you have a preference? Later dates also possible of course. What boat(s) would you like us to use for this race? Any preference for the starting time (keep in mind that there are players all over the world)? Regards, Francois

Halifax to Hooper Bay 2024

And now it’s Autumn in the Arctic, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. Having receded all summer, ice is starting to return to the numerous straits and bays of Canada’s North West Passage. High time then to set off on our last leg of the High Latitudes Series from Halifax in Nova Scotia to Alaska’s Hooper Bay. It’s 3850nm and we need to hurry, so we’ll take the Pelagic 77!
