	The THIRD short, informal, practice race will be held on Thursday, 21 November 2013. This will be a special race: Towbackrace There are marks spread around the course. Participants collect points by sailing from mark to mark (which will be called a leg). Each leg is associated with a number of points. Participants are free to choose what legs they sail, and in what order. - It's NOT obligated to round all marks, you are ranked by the total amount of points. - You will NOT receive points if you sail the same leg (in the same direction) a second time - You may choose any mark to start from - You should clearly communicate via the chat when you have completed a leg, for example "I completed leg M2-M4". Markrounding or -cutting Marks are to be cut, your track has to touch the mark (at maximum zoon level) in order for that mark to be the end of the previous leg and the start of the next leg. With the exception of your first mark of your first leg, you may also round the marks, such that: 1. You sail complete around the mark, cutting you own track 2. You may not round land or other marks in the process of rounding the mark, your track should isolate one mark from all others and from any land. 3. If an island functions as a mark, it does not count as "land" in the above rule (2). The track produced from the towback itself is not part of the race: you cannot cut or round a mark while being towed back. Examples of rounding and cutting marks Ranking - The participants will be ranked on their number of points in descending order (the more points the better) - If two participants have the same number of points, the one that completed his last leg first will be ranked higher than the other. If it is unclear who was first, both participants are ranked equally - All participants will be ranked - No G-SCOW is awarded, as this is not a normal practice race, there will be special titles to win though. ____________________________ RACE START The race starts 18:00 utc Choose any mark to start from RACE FINISH Towback for the official race is at 20:00 utc, the practice race will stop when all participants are placed back at SOL start. Marks cut or rounded while being towed to SOL start don't count. COURSE Marks 2, 3, 4 and 5 form the begin and end of the legs. Marks 1 and 6 form a gate, If you sail through this gate, you will receive 3 bonus points as soon as your current leg is completed. You will receive these bonus points at most once per leg. USEFUL NOTE The amount of points per leg is roughly equal the the number of minutes it should take to complete. COURSE PICTURE AND POINTS: click here If map and description (table) conflict, description is leading. TITLES TO EARN Apart from the ranking some titles can be earned while racing: Sailing salesman: Sailed past all marks Gatekeeper: Sailed trough gate every leg Chef cook: longest bbq (only if significantly long) Explorer: Sailed past a mark no-one else sailed past ========================= RESULTS: As kroppyer finished his last leg before Careka did, he is ranked above Careka. As JakeS finished his last leg before glynnwi did, he is ranked a bove glynnwi. Go4iT retired during the race.

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.
