2013-06-08 06:48:02 - A3 - Leg 9 - Perth to Adelaide
Here is Tyger's descriptiion of this, our final leg in the AGage Around Australia series. The race will open for practice later today (Sunday, 9 June 2013).

"This is it, the final leg of the A3 Series, our gift to the memory of Aaron Gage known to us all as AGage. I am sure that we have all felt his spirit with us as we circumnavigated the great southern land that is Australia.

Appropriately, Leg 9, the journey home, starts in the channel between Fremantle and Rottnest Island. This channel was named ...Gage Roads... by the surveyor exploring the area in 1826.
Fremantle is the port city for Perth and is known in Aus as Freo. Freo is the home of America's Cup winner Australia 2 and Gage Roads was the location of the 1987 defence, the first defence not held by the New York Yacht Club.

Volvo Ocean Race, Whitbread and Vende Globe races have all either stopped here or had crew based here while tackling the Southern Ocean.

A 1300 NM dash south and then across the Great Australian Bight back to our starting point at BSYC in the Gulf of st Vincent."

RC - I was getting my geography confused. Adelaide and BSYC are next door in the Gulf of St Vincent. Could you make the appropriate edit here and anywhere else it appears. Thanx

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

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.
