Actually the best start time to get us to the doldrums faster would be around 02:00~03:00 thur the 7th.
But I vote no more changes. Let's just race.

I'm with Cappy - LET'S RACE AS NOW SCHEDULED!!!

I always start late anyway, and always finish in the top 150-200, whatever everyone else wants I'm good with.
I hate work, it always gets in the way of having fun. LOL

Agreed... long race and a lot can happen. Conditions are the same for all... So... Let's get cracking on planned start time
I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

I agree the systems will be what they will be and we should go as planned. Its a long race and in real sailing in general races start as advertised without being able to pick and chose the best weather. PR

UPDATE

As at now, the majority are in favour with staying with the current start time.

The stats are:

Current Start: 17
New Start: 2
Don't Mind: 2

I am now out until later this morning so, despite this majority, we will of course wait until the midday cut-off. That's fair isn't it?

:-)

Thank you all for your replies so far, this can help us for future races as well.

My personal thought is go as planned and if we like it we can always re-visit this one and set it up so we can have even more of a record run.

Greetings to all, my opinion is that you should not change neither the hour nor the day of departure, ie would have to leave the day was planned from the beginning, as the race is long and winds conditions many days can vary widely as to the best and worse.

saludos a todos , mi opinion es que no se debe cambiar ni la hora ni el dia de la salida , es decir que habria que salir el dia que estaba previsto desde su origen, ya que la carrera es muy larga y las condiciones de vientos en tantos dias pueden ser muy variables tan to a mejor como a peor

Let's get going as scheduled. The weather on this one is going to even out the optimum starting time anyway due to the length of the race.

Current Races:

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031

Bay to Bay 2026 - Leg 2

After a thrilling opener, the 2026 edition of the Bay to Bay Yacht Race continues with Leg 2, bringing even more adrenaline and tactical excitement to the waters of the Great Sandy Marine Park. Our SOLers will once again take the helm of their ILCA 7, this time tackling a 24-nautical-mile course through shifting breezes and tight competition.
With fresh legs, sharper tactics, and everything to race for, it’s anyone’s game! See you on the start line for the grand finale!

Regata dell’Accademia Navale 2026

Welcome to Sailonline’s partnership with the City of Livorno (Leghorn say the English) in cooperation with the local yacht clubs and the Italian Navy, offering all the online opportunity to race the famous Regata dell’Accademia Navale - 630nm in length. Starting and finishing in Livorno, this year the race takes you the length and breadth of the Tyrrhenian Sea via little Mortorio (Mortoriotto) off Sardinia to Capri and home again to Livorno. This race also counts towards Sailonline’s Magical Mediterranean Series and the SuperBuddy title. Online, you will be sailing a Mini 6.50, to give you a match against several of the real-life entrants, which you will be able to track on-screen!

Falklands to Tasmania 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. This next race is part of our Ocean Championship as well as the ROW series. Falklands to Tasmania, is like last year's island to island. It’s one of the longer ones 6400nm, more than half way around the world (and the Antarctica). It starts the 2026 OCQ2, and will be sailed in our Steinlager 2, contrary to prior notice.
