	Last boat win. Sailing between to lanes. Now one can return inside this lane. If you do - you are out and end up as first.

	Hey Jakob. We have "Slow food", "Slow City in Italy" etc. Why not a "Slow Sailing Race". The start goes from a line or as we do inn SOL from one point. The lane/track (invisible will do it harder) is inside to lines that have 0-5 nm - ore more - apart from one another. A visible track in the middle of the lane. The end and the start of the track is narrowing in to the start/finish line or start/finish point. The whole lane can be as long as we wont it to be. But it should at least be over 8 hours with sailing. And it can be placed between island or on the open sea. From start the boat have to move forwards and can not use TWA 0.0. They can sail lengthwise and crosswise (180 +/-) inside the track. But they have to move all the time in one direction to the finish line. First boat over the finish line loose. Last boat over the finish line win the game. If they stop inside the track, they are out of game. Only excuse to stop is if TWS is 0.0 If they are outside the lane they are out of game. No excuse for putting the boat onshore. Out of game with them as well. To complete the race it demands good navigations abilities from the boat and that is perfect for this SOL game. Registration for the game is not a start time. It is a end time for registration and after that it's closed. And the game starts 15 minute later. As long as the server is starting the first registration it's a clue to be last here as well. But if you take the chance to wait to long you can be out of the start as well, if the server is occupied with a lot off work as it can be before closing time. jawik

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.
