26 June 2020


It is 2020, the world continues to confront the #COVID19 pandemic, but one country appears to be getting it all so much “right-er” than many others and this is wonderful New Zealand, where sailing is resuming! Sailonline is therefore particularly delighted to be back on the waters of the Hauraki Gulf, in New Zealand’s North Island. Sailonline has raced here for many years and racing around the islands feels familiar to many of our virtual competitors. For the 9th year in a row, Sailonline is looking forward to racing in the Y88 Division, as the virtual partner of the Short-handed Sailing Association of New Zealand (SSANZ) for the SSANZ Lewmar Triple Series 2020 – the biggest two-handed sailing series in New Zealand.

In 2014 Sailonline began an association with the Young 88 Owners Association and once more will be racing all three events this year with our Young88 Polar while acknowledging the remarkable contribution to yachting and yacht design from the legendary Jim Young who died in the middle of June.

The three races will be raced on Sailonline on the following dates which take account of the time difference between New Zealand and UTC:

Race 1 Lewmar 60 Baltic -- 3 July
Race 2 Lewmar 100 Baltic -- 31 July
Race 3 Lewmar 50 Baltic -- 28 August

Sailonline’s first race will open for registration and pre-race practice on 1 July.

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.
