RACE INFO
On Saturday, 1 June 2013 at midday (midnight on 31 May UTC) a small group of yachts will set sail from Auckland's Westhaven, for a point some 1155nm distant... the resort of Musket Cove, Fiji. This will be a tricky S to N race across one of the toughest areas of the Pacific and will test all who race.

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron to provide a virtual version of this classic race and will be bringing the real fleet onto the race screen, courtesy of Yellowbrick Tracking.

The bulk of the real fleet will be monohulls, so SOL will be sailing her Beneteau 477, but it is expected that Team Vodafone Sailing will be out to beat her own multihull record set in 2011.

Current Records:
Monohull: Camper (Chris Nicholson) 103h 38m 16s in 2011
Multihull: Team Vodafone Sailing (Simon Hull) 103h 20 m 57s

2013 Entrants
Equilibrium,Outrageous Fortune, Squealer, V5, Vision, Vodafone, Wild Card.

All boats will be trackable here via:

See you at race start!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series.

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
Race #2037

Sailonline’s virtual yacht for all your runs will be our much-loved Farr 38 PARTICULARS
