Hi Rainbowchaser: Thanks for your kind words.
In fact, the "Regata Islas de Chiloe" took place in the summer of the southern hemisphere, in January.
Now, in winter, winds from the north are predominant in the pacific coast of the island and a cold and very rainy weather is usual down there. In the interior waters, nevertheless, the winds are very variables and there´s a lot of currents, so it's a challenge to sail is such conditions.
I believe that the real regatta could be raced in the winter season, however because is one of the Chiloe's most important touristic attractions of the year, many visitors goes to the Island to attend the regatta and that's why is raced in summer.
Thanks a lot

OK SOLers. I have finished my kmz file with the race proposed. Is my first attemp to design a race and, of course, any suggestion, advice or criticism (in respectfully terms, of course) is welcomed.
I believe that the Seacart 30 is the most suitable boat for this race.
I hope you like it and in some time in the near future we meet in Chiloe Island to race.
Fair winds to all.

Thanks RainbowChaser and Tazumaki. I'm already working in the kmz file. Unfortunately the name "Regata Islas de Chiloe" is a trademark and can't be used without permission of the owners, the Club Nautico Oceanico de Chile (Chilean Oceanic Nautic Club).
Maybe we can call the race "Chiloe Challenge". Don't sound bad, I believe.
Please forgive my bad english, I'm chilean and a self taught in that language.
As soon I finish the kmz file I'll post it to the community consideration.
All the best

Race Suggestion - Chiloe Challenge

Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals

For a very demanding race I suggest one rounding Chiloe Island in Chile.
Here every two years the "Chiloe Islands Regatta" is raced and yachts from everywhere in Chile an from others countries in South America, like Argentina and Peru, meet in this beautiful part of my country to race in the most fabulous landscapes and within the most extreme sea, wind and currents conditions.
Hope in the near future all SOL captains will be seen in such race.
All the best and fair winds to all.
Andy
Captain of the Hotu Matu'a (an real and virtual boat, by the way)

Hi Jakob:
My humble suggestion is a monohull between 45 and 60 foot. I'm sure you have some boats of such type in your virtual fleet.
But if is too late to make a change, let's sail in the Seacart! Will be a hell of a race, anyway.
Thanks

Yes, Bearski is right. The boat SOL chooses is not the best election. By the way, who -apart of a crazy guy- will sail a 30' multihull in such a hard race like the Sydney - Hobart? Don't you ever heard about the rough conditions in the Torres Strait?
I believe SOL must try to keep the things as real as it gets.

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.
