2013-07-11 22:16:00 - Simrad Series
Here is a link to free NZ RNC charts:

NZ RNC zip

Apparently, New Zealand has decided to remove encryption from their official RNC charts. This link gives you a 'sampler' of charts in the new format. The implication is that ALL NZ charts will soon be available in the new, unencrypted, format.

The good news is that one of the charts in the sampler -- Approaches to Auckland -- covers the race #1 and race #2 areas of the Simrad Series.
So...
If you like to follow SOL races in charting software, this is your link!
And...
I suggest that 'kudos' are in order for the folks in NZ who are making accurate charting data more readily available.

Sailonline is delighted to be returning to Auckland, New Zealand, as the virtual partner of SSANZ for the annual three-race Simrad series - the biggest short-handed race and the second biggest keelboat race in New Zealand.

Raced over 50nm (13 July), 60nm (10 August)and 100nm (7 September) the three races will all start from Auckland, on New Zealand's North Island, and race around the Hauraki Gulf. This year SOL will again be sailing Young 11(mod) boats which should keep us competitive with the bulk of the fleet.

SOLer NZL Yachtyakka will be sailing on Promise, a Stewart 34. If any other SOLers are taking part - do let us know!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!

This year, we command the magnificent Falkun—the ultimate high-tech superyacht modeled after the iconic Maltese Falcon. This 1759nm slalom takes us through the Caribbean’s rum islands to plunder barrels from local distilleries and deliver them to the rum-parched sands of Cancun.

Join SYC before the finish to disguise yer boat with a pirate name for this race only. Hoist the sails, sharpen yer cutlasses, and plot your winning course!
