	First update from OpenCountry: QUOTE ust another sunny day in Auckland New Zealand! Thanks RC for setting this up. Yak & I are almost ready to go. The weather forecast is "light winds variable - might get up to 5 knots some time in the next 48 hrs. So We expect a slow race. Must give the Easter Bunny our sea address Hope he delivers!!! RC we will send you photos and updates as we work our way to Tauranga. But we are not expecting this to be a quick race. The weather is fabulous! But not for sailing ha ha. Cheers for now from the scurvy crew onboard Open Country.

	TYPBC Race Leaderboard Sailonline was back in New Zealand for the 2014 running of the classic Auckland to Tauranga Race, and for the second year in a row, was associated with the official race. Unfortunately for the real racers, the wx in Auckland was "inclement" and the start had to be delayed, but the virtual race set off at the originally scheduled time. This is the fourth time of running this race, the second with Young 11s, and our winner this year arrived in record time - beating the previous best (also set by a Young 11 in 2011) by 4h 20m. The challenge is now set! Congratulations to all three who took our podium this time If you want to see how the leaders or top SOLers tracks compared with yours, you can do so easily by using the comparison feature at hmm's SOL Race Data Centre --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2015-04-02 09:06:56 ---

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

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!

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
