	A 365 mile race in memoriam of the great Colin Archer and the ships he designed. From Lauwersoog, Holland to Larvik, Norway. All info on http://www.camr.nl/ Nice boat would of course be a colin archer

	Nice idea - I have emailed 76T to see if he can find a polar for an appropriate-for-SOL (modern) design based on Colin Archer's originals. If you have such a boat in mind, do let us know!! Methinks sailing the Fram would take a little too long??

	I believe registration irl is open for a lot of yachts, so it doesn't really matter that much. the original would be a little slow, as you say. something like an x 46 cruiser/racer could give sufficient speed

	Perenkist - for a moment I thought we had got another SOLer interested!! 76T is going to see what he can come up with! Between the two of you I am sure SOL will choose the right polar!! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2010-07-03 16:08:13 ---

	I noticed the IRL sail date.. sadly it won't be possible for us to race at the same time (there are also some "name" considerations to think of) but we will definitely do the race once we have the right polar etc. As I am sure you know, SOL has to be careful when running races at the same time as IRL ones. If an IRL race has a big sponsor that has paid a lot of money for the privilege of associating its brand with the race, then SOL can find itself open to ligitgation, even though SOL makes no money from the process!!

	I am well aware of that, found some old posts of you, even a letter about this. A shame, but sol has to deal with it. But it's great that the race will be run! Krimpvrij raced it two times irl, years ago!

Melbourne to Osaka 2023
Welcome to Melbourne for Sailonline's alternative version of the Melbourne to Osaka Double Handed Yacht Race - a 5000 nautical miler. This year again we're racing the RP-66, but the route is unlimited what comes to waypoints. Because the IRL version does not run this year, we took the freedom to make our own route!
It could be a long race, east or west, and of course some doldrums to negotiate!

Sinbad Seeks Spices 2023
Having surveyed Arabia, Sinbad Al-SOL’er next invites you to race him on his second of seven epic voyages to every corner of the Indian Ocean and beyond, this time to seek spices in Zanzibar, departing from Xaafun, a trading post on the tip of the Horn of Africa since the days of the Mycenaeans and on through Roman times to the Nights of 1,001 of AL-Sail’or, Al-SOL’er’s illustrious ancestor. SOLing by the sun and the stars, aka seat-of-the-pants, the voyage will take you east as far as Praslin island, south as far as Anjouan, to Zanzibar’s Unguja for all things spices, but only back as far as Mogidishu – another exhausting 3000nm adventure, this time in Reichel/Pugh 66s.
