2013-01-16 17:53:44 - Classic Cup Regatta
I have suggestions regatta modeled on some small interesting races that take place in Poland. These are the Classic Cup Regatta. Take place in the Baltic Sea in September. They can start 2 towers yachts . Regatta conducted without the use of GPS or any electronics navigation. Only traditional navigation. Route is from Gdynia by selected Swedish or Danish port to Gdynia again. I participated in this event several times. It was great fun. Played the race at the same time in the real world and virtualnym would will be very exciting.

Hi lukasz - this looks great! We haven't raced yachts in/near Poland. SOL did, however, sail Tall Ships in Polish waters last summer (while the real Tall Ships were doing so).

Thank you!

Can you come up with coordinates (SOL decimal lat/lon) for the start/marks/finish? that would be very helpful.

Do you know the organisers? Maybe they would like to promote the virtual version of their race? At the top of this Race Proposals forum there is a post with the list of current SOL boats - which do you think would sail best?

Welcome.
Coordinate - I tried to export them to a file kmz. Unfortunately, he went only one point. If it helps I give the coordinates written in plain text, or tell me how to export a few points with Google Earth.

SOL boat - think of the Tall Ships Class C - but I'd like to see exactly poolar the boat. Where can I see it? Participate in the regatta mainly pleasure yachts. They are too fast :)
I know the organizers race - I'm going to speak with them about the integration of the two events.

That would be perfect as this is a real race.

Excellent - please make sure they understand that this would be a completely non-commercial "buddy up", with SOL using the real race name and linking information to the official website and the real race simply embedding a link to our website. So not a business deal, just a friendly association with them :-) The Up Helly Aa race is an example as will be The Three Kings Race in New Zealand in February :-)

As for the boat choice - we can choose any boat that SOL has in its "boathouse". You can see a list of the boats here

:-)

Welcome.
I long not to speak. I had a lot of other activities.
Is this format of geographical position correct?
Start by Gdynia at position: lat="54.505690058" lon="18.721033394"
I took the position from gpx file for the race route.

I generated the correct file kmz. RainbowChaser please look inside and let me know if there's anything you need.

Apologies for the late reply but I was in hospital from 29 January to 15 February and only just getting back into SOL admin stuff.

The kmz looks good.

As well as a choice of boat, we will, of course, need:

1. A small Race Description (in English) to go on the right-hand side of the Homepage. You see the sort of thing usually said about races - distance, boat chosen, basic routing, a little info.

and, if the race organisers like the idea of the non-commercial "buddy" mentioned above, then we will also need:

2. Some background to the race (v brief history) etc

and

3. Permission to use images and the race logo from the official website.

We would then plan to race the race at the same time as the official one.

If the race organisers do not give us permission when you speak with them, then we would call the race something else and probably race it at a different time too.

Hopefully when you speak with the organisers they will be happy at what you are suggesting :-)

Good luck!

Welcome.
Sorry for the long break. I send all of the materials needed for the race. We can refer to the official race. We may use the logo race - is the approval of the organizers. If you need anything else let me know.

Tall Ships 2026 - Aarhus to Harlingen


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is from Aarhus in Denmark, through the Skaggerak and down the North Sea to Friesland’s Harlingen – a proper tall ship training adventure of circa 450nm, which online this year you will race in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Viareggio Bastia Viareggio 2026

Our sixth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil - was planned to be our third buddy-up with another incredible Italian event, the Viareggio Bastia Viareggio (or BVR for short). Unfortunately, in-real-life the BVR has been cancelled this year. But online we shall race it never the less. It’s a quickie – a 160nm roundtrip there-and-back in classic Class 40. Have fun, and if you’re planning a BBQ, piccola isola Capraia halfway across is simply lovely!

Shetland Race 2026 - Leg 2


After the thrill of the first leg, we don't linger long in Lerwick, Shetland. Following brief but joyous celebrations, it's time to set sail back across the North Sea to Bergen, Norway, for the gripping second leg of the Shetland Race 2026!

Covering another unpredictable 190 nautical miles, tactical depth and fierce competition await. This year, we take the helm of the Linjett 33. Designed by Mats Gustavsson in 1994 for Sweden's historic Rosättra Båtvarv, this sturdy, quality cruiser-racer has been a Sailonline favourite in northern waters since 2010. Whether you are chasing victory or savoring the voyage, hoist your sails and let the journey home begin!

Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race 2026


When the winter weather turns cool in southern Australia, sailors head up to the warmer tropics. Sailors from all over the world make their way to The Great Barrier Reef for the big winter regattas at Hamilton Island, Airlie Beach and Magnetic Island.
This year's B2K will start on 20 June to offer an event suited to a broader range of boats. Sailonline is, once again, joining with the racers from RQYS to race the 343 nautical miles from Brisbane to Keppel Island, this time in our First 44.7. It might be winter down under, but all you will need is shorts and t-shirts.

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!
