Autumn sees the racing circuit on the east coast of Australia look towards the warmer waters of Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef. The Sydney to Mooloolaba was first run in 1964 as the Sydney to Brisbane and then extended to Mooloolaba in 1973. The race is timed to link in with others starting from Brisbane and heading north along the coast. From 2014, the race has included multihulls, with the standout entry being Sean Langman's ORMA 60 'Team Australia'.

This race was originally announced in the calendar as a buddy-up with the real Sydney to Mooloolaba Race 2015 and the Middle Harbour Yacht Club . Unfortunately, due to a severe fire at the club in January and a consequent drop off in entries, MHYC decided in early March to cancel the race for 2015. The club is also the Sydney Harbour base for the Australian Olympic Sailing Team and first priority must go to them in the lead up to the Olympic Games in Rio next year.

This Sailonline edition of the Sydney to Mooloolaba Race is therefore a reenactment of the 2014 event when multihulls entered for the first time. As a gesture of support to MHYC please join the virtual fleet of ORMA 60s in our race to the warm waters of the Sunshine Coast.

The race record set in 2014 by ORMA 60 "BOQ Team Australia" is 53 hrs 48 mins - the challenge is to beat it

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
