14 September 2017

Sailonline is delighted to announce its second official buddy-up with Svendborg Amatør Sejlklub in Denmark for the challenging inshore race around the island of Funen, the "Silverrudder - Challenge of the Sea".
This year, Sailonline will be present in Svendborg at the Meeting Point, and the public is invited to join us with their laptops and PC's to sail against the IRL fleet. The Sailonline race simulation will be shown on a large screen for people to watch and follow the race.
The most likely sailing direction of the race will be announced at Skipper's Briefing starting at 15:00 UTC on 21 September. This direction will be published as soon as it's known in an In-Race message, for the race on 22 September.

Since inception in 2012 when a handful of boats participated, this single-handed race has become the world’s largest single-handed event.
This year the list of entrants shows 426 boats registered for start. Sailonline will be racing an X-99, the boat type that is most widely represented (17 in 2017), so we will have direct competition.

Sailonline’s race will be opening Friday 15 September at 10:00 UTC for pre-race practice and will start with the real Silverrudder fleet's X-99'ers on Friday 22 September 2017 at 10:00 UTC.

It is highly recommended that you read these special circumstances for the start of Silverrudder 2017


WINNERS PRIZE

The Sailonline team, live present in Svendborg, Gilberto (Gilles), Hagen (rumskib), Kim (Wolff) and Finn (Bimmer) are offering a 15g silver Silverrudder keyring, which will be posted anywhere in the world

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
