- Monsoon experience
- Board » Sailonline Race Committee » Race proposals

As a possible 2nd race to experience different winds, following up on Bora experience, I was thinking about this course around Taiwan and some Japanese islands. This is an area where we don't go very often.
The East Asian monsoon affects about one third of the world's population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_Monsoon
In this race we go from the Penghu islands, around Taiwan towards Miyakojima and passing several other islands in Okinawa prefecture, before returning to Penghu around the North side of Taiwan. That should offer plenty of variation in monsoon winds, which are predominantly East to Northeast (attached wind stats)
Distance: 800 NM
Could be done with the new Fareast 31R polar or similar, which would make for a 4-5 days of racing.

Sorry to hear. I didn't get the chance to get to know Bgosh, but it sounds like a character I would have liked to meet. Will be there for the Lake Winnebago race and look forward to hear some anecdotes.

Excellent suggestion for Dubrovnik finish. That's where more local knowledge is useful. I will adapt the route accordingly.
As for real Bora experience, I have seen some videos and it looks really rough. But that's one of the advantages of virtual sailing races, we can do routes that would be highly dangerous, if not impossible to do, IRL.

Is there a picture of the special polar you made for this?

I like this idea.. Could be done on the existing or on a new track. How long did this race take on the previous occasion(s)?

Would make for a good timed race too. Personally I would probably have left out that last waypoint on Little Dog East, and just allow for many possible ways back to the finish line after rounding the WP at Doughboy.

Nice one. Probably best done in summer when the meltemia winds are usually strong.

@Renegade The V1 only differs from V2 on wind speeds below 2 or 3 kts. So, if you didn't have any problems with AGL during Leg1, that polar should work most of the time for this leg, because we have strong winds.
I never got the polar to work in AGL for race 1388, so I used the mentioned workaround.

Aland Sea TIMED Race 2021
Norrtalje Segelsallskap, 70km NE of Stockholm was founded in 1920, and time was when the society’s season opened with a challenging offshore race from the club line off Flaten island at the mouth of the long and narrow Norrtaljeviken, out onto a triangular course around the Aland Sea, to finish at Simpnas slightly to the north on Bjorko island - some 78nm in total. A fine race that SOL, being from these parts, ran annually up until 2013. Last run in autumn 2018, we return here to race the course again in the form a TIMED RUN in our flashy Club Swan 50s.
RE-REGISTER HERE to race again after finishing a run.

CCA Delivery Cruise 1 2021 - Sandwich MA to Halifax NS
The Cruising Club of America invites you to join them on a (virtual) delivery cruise starting from Sandwich, Massachusetts, the oldest town on Cape Cod in the USA to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, some 354nm away. Once we clear the tip of Cape Cod at Race Point our rhumb line course will be 70 deg T for 225nm across the Gulf of Maine to Cape Sable NS, so the best delivery departure window for sparing the crew and gear pounding into a northeast winter gale across Browns Bank will likely be following a frontal passage with strong favorable westerly winds. You may choose one of two boats, both tailored for cruising and new to Sailonline's boathouse, so flip a coin, study their Particulars sheets and make ready! You may start at any time after 1900utc on 8 February 2021 and you must arrive in Halifax by 4 March at 2300utc.

Haifa to Sao Vicente - 2021 ESRW - Leg 1
Welcome to bonknhoot’s alternative round the world race, there where it is wide, in six legs, following the setting sun – the ESRW Equatorial Sailonline Round the World Race; equatorial to differentiate it from more traditional antarctical circumnavigations. Expect then to cross the equator frequently, although on this 3500nm first leg from Haifa to the Cape Verdes in Ker 40s you should probably stay north of it. Being a proper ocean race, there are no intermediate waypoints, but please try to leave Tangiers to port anyway.
