  • Some old races to run again
    Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals
    Thinking in long races that we did in the past. Following long races (were a lot of fun) I think do not collude with real races:

    San Francisco to Hawai (two or three years ago)
    South Chile to San Franciso (three years ago)
    Oklan to New Zeland or Tasmania
    Cape Town to England
    Miami to Rio

    ;-)

    Board » General Discussion
    I have been looking for past two/three weeks and no new long races. In fact there is only one short race for time being (I know there is a calendar :-)). It is very unusual since I have been racing for more than three years all the time. If we look at number of people register for "Texel Race 2011" only 296 seems people do prefer long races (more sleep time). I belive for the continuity of SAILONLINE.ORG that we should have more long race more or less always running. I believe that maintanece of long race does not take long time for developers and so on.

    Best Regards to all.

    Hello Sailors,
    You could see whales in Souther Tenerife, The Canary Islands.

    "Tenerife is the second whale-watching destination in the entire world when it comes to the number of whale-watching hopefuls that descend upon the island each year. Focused in the waters between Tenerife and its neighboring island La Gomera, there are 25 species of the world's 78 sea mammals living and playing in the Atlantic surf."

SSANZ Northern Triangle 2025 - Leg 1 - Auckland to Mangonui


Welcome to the Shorthanded Sailing Association of New Zealand's 2025 Evolution Sails Northern Triangle series, and to this first leg of c 150nm, out of Auckland, north up the coast to Mangonui. In our Sailonline boathouse, our Young 11 has remained forever young. She is your boat of choice for the series, and we fully expect her to give the boats of today in the real-life SSANZ fleet a proper run for their money. The second and third race of the Triangle will start in full sync with the real fleet, so be aware that these start times will not be confirmed until after 60% of the real fleet have finished the prior leg!

Cape Horn TIMED Resupply 2025

Word has reached Puerto William that supplies are needed 172nm away for some RTW yachtsmen sheltering inshore near Noir Island. SOLers respond in their Pelagic 77s and race against the clock to deliver grog and vittles in this TIMED race!!! Which route will be quicker - inland or inshore? Make as many trips as you like!! This is a TIMED race, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Auckland to Noumea 2025


The ARCH competition is transitioning now from the Arabian Sea to the Pacific Ocean, featuring a 1000 nm route from Auckland to Nouméa. Organized by the Royal Akarana Yacht Club, the race last occurred in 2018 and was set to resume on May 25, 2024, after a lengthy hiatus. However, due to political unrest in New Caledonia, the event has been cancelled. Fortunately, those situations do not impact our virtual race, so prepare your Open 60 for another exciting adventure.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Dondra to Toamasina


Above you see a stratospheric balloon, that if only we had gribs at that altitude would get blasted along quite rapidly and predictably. Alas we just have our SOL balloon that sails rather lower to the sea and that we have crossed the Atlantic in, west to east, last year for the first time in the southern hemisphere. So much fun was had by all, that this year we will attempt the Indian Ocean, but in four legs. Another great piece of fiction, the voyages of Sinbad By Balloon not magic carpet, although you may need a bit of magic to make any progress at times. Pack your wicker basket full for your first leg of at least 2300nm from Sri Lanka to Madagascar; it’s not a picnic hamper, you could be in the air for longer than you hoped!
