2010-07-05 19:34:13 - short races in sol databank

These have been pulled from the bottom of the archive. I checked the finish time of the leaders and the last 60% of the fleet to be sure they could be done in a weekend. This is a work in progress. More to come later.

I suggest changing some of the boats out though, a lot of the early races were run in a "40 footer". As this has a note in the archives that says "do not use". The longer races could be sailed in Seacarts or Open boats or 50~70' race boats.

Short races ready to go in sol DB:

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.
