Posted by stoertebaeker Posts 78 Registered at 2009-06-27 20:10:15	2013-04-20 22:09:21 - Magnus Olsson Memorial race
	Due to the sad death of Swedish ocean racing legend Magnus Olsson I think a memorial race would be nice to have. Auckland - São Sebastião or Cape Town - Fremantle from the 1997-1998 Withbread would be cool... He raced and won this RTW race with EF Language...

	I propose a race from Qindao (China) to Rio.....The race he won with a VO 70, that I´m sure 76T can provide us with the polars for that boat....Robert Robert

	My vote is for Quindao - Rio with a vo70. That leg defined Olsson for me. Willing to take a risk to win despite having a slower boat.

	Would be lovely to get this one set up... we have a little time in hand as we have yet to close the NYC-SFO and... a lot of folks still are a long way from the finish. That will probably close when a good % of racers are finished but it cannot stay open indefinitely but will allow time to get the right polar ready!

	Nice to see a tribute here as well for Magnus Olsson. A great sailor and a superb ambassador to the sport of sailing. I think the Quidango race is more then fitting as well. I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	Estamos tristes por la muerte de Magnus , una gran pérdida para la nautica . Mi voto es para Qingdao

	Well, are we doing it?
Posted by RainbowChaser Posts 2655 Registered at 2009-06-14 09:44:50	2013-04-29 08:29:32 - Re: Magnus Olsson Memorial race
	The NYC-SFO is closing today (Monday, 29 April) and if you look at the Current Calendar we definitely have space for an ocean race... maybe after next weekend so this week's focus can be on Jubilant's first qualifying race. All we are waiting on is a boat choice I think. The options are: 1. new VO60 polar (to be created) 2. old VO70 (not VO70v4) polar 3. Steinlager 2 polar 4. any other boat in SOL's boathouse I will get the race set up - The Magnus Olsson Tribute Race. Please will someone volunteer to draft up a brief Race Description - one or two sentences to introduce the race to appear with other Race Info on the RH side of the SOL Homepage? Are there any websites where we can publicise what we are doing? It would be lovely for the wider sailing world to know I think? ________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-04-29 08:30:45 ---

	Hello RC ... for me the important thing is to do a race in memory of Olsson, about the route all those proposed are OK. You could even organize a challenge in 3 or 4 legs along the routes of his most famous races. Fair winds Carlo Alberto SCARABOCCHIO

Auckland to Fiji 2023

Welcome to Auckland and, for the fifth time in Sailonline's history, an epic race to the Polynesian island of Fiji , some 1144nm away. The iconic Steinlager 2 has traditionally been our boat of choice for this event, including in 2020, the last time we raced the course – alone, unaccompanied by a real fleet as it had been #COVID19 quarantined. Hopefully, though, this time we’ll again be showing you how you are doing versus the real tracked boats. Have fun!

Cape Town to Auckland 2023
Welcome to this second RTW race 2023. It's also the June edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is slightly different from the one sailed in 2020, which then also was part of the RTW series.
This time we will race in the IMOCA 60 foil, as in all RTW races this year. That should guarantee the fun in the South Seas in a truly tough race.

CA 500 2023

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the TransPac Ocean Race in 2019, the organisers of the California Race Week introduced a new longer distance event for line-honours machines. Popular with the largest maxi trimarans, this CA 500, 500nm from San Francisco to San Diego, repeats in 2023, and if you don’t own a maxi trimaran, Sailonline are delighted to have the honour to, for the first time, make their virtual version available to you for a quick ethereal dash down America’s west coast.

Iceberg Dodge TIMED Race 2023
Designed by NZL_Scotsman, this 34nm TIMED race takes us around Kobbermine Bugt. This is the 4th iteration of this race, having been held every 3 years since 2014. Climate change may have eased our access to these fjords but watch your roundings - navigating around those islands continue to remain tricky! The target time to beat is 5:01:11, set in 2017.
