	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!

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!

The Beagle in Tahiti 2024

Leaving the Galapagos behind, the course was west again, and by November 15th the Beagle reached Tahiti. Like Gauguin, sixty years later, Darwin found the natives, recently Christianized, pleasant and intelligent, but unlike Gauguin, this did not persuade him or his captain, Fitzroy, to tarry long. Let’s have a sail-around in 2024 anyway; 640nm, as ever in the Class B Tall Ship HMS Beagle.
