Commentary
The second of three races being set up by Sailonline at the request of SailNewport was a tricky 138nm venture east from Newport, past Martha’s Vineyard, around Nantucket Island and a slalom back past the Nobska Light, around Naushon Island, south past Pasque and Nashawena Islands, and then north through Canapitsit Channel, leaving Cuttyhunk to port, to home! All in all a challenge for those in timezones other than EDT!

A sizeable registration for the race of 298 boats, flying the national flags of a record 42 nations, saw 203 of them set off on course. With the race starting at 2100utc, late in the European day, the crews from SailNewport would be thought to have had the time advantage but the competitive spirit of regular SOLers (racers on Sailonline) came to the fore and, perhaps with benefit of #COVID19 lockdown, the race was competitive across all continents!

Congratulations must go to the three podium place takers arriving with only 1m31s between them. All Sailonline regulars they are to be applauded for managing to snatch victory from the jaws of the USA East Coast contenders hot on their transoms! With many USA-flagged racers being on our virtual waters for the first time, that 10 of them appear in the top 20 is truly an excellent result.

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!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.
