An interesting idea would be to sail this race with 8mR boats, I think Finland has the biggest fleet of eights in the world and also Helsinki is hosting their Worlds this summer, so we might attract some finnish classic sailors that way.

I think we could get the polars for a generic eight somewhere.

I like the idea of sailing this race in 8mR in conjunction with their worlds.There has been a resurgence of interest in the class in AUS in recent years and I know of 2 boats from here going to the worlds. Polars should be easy to obtain, several well known designers are producing new designs. David Vieira of Portugal is considered the world authority on 8mRs, he designs, builds and restores them.

Have to think about route and think if there should be two races .. original idea was to have crash bbq race but dunno if it respects 8mR ..

I am setting something up for this coming weekend (Turku to Helsinki), with Smo's blessing.

Won't in any way interfere with what you guys are up to!

:-)
===============

OK, its set up. To see it in all its glory you should wait for the next WX update at 1630 today (Monday, 25 Feb) but if you can manage without the full WX Zone then just log in as the sol boat:

USERNAME: sol
PASSWORD: sol

and then click here

If you think the course is too tricky or needs additional waypoints to make it more fun etc just add comments here (after discussing it in race chat no doubt!!)

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
