Last boat win. Sailing between to lanes. Now one can return inside this lane. If you do - you are out and end up as first.

Hey Jakob.

We have "Slow food", "Slow City in Italy" etc. Why not a "Slow Sailing Race".

The start goes from a line or as we do inn SOL from one point. The lane/track (invisible will do it harder) is inside to lines that have 0-5 nm - ore more - apart from one another. A visible track in the middle of the lane. The end and the start of the track is narrowing in to the start/finish line or start/finish point. The whole lane can be as long as we wont it to be. But it should at least be over 8 hours with sailing. And it can be placed between island or on the open sea.

From start the boat have to move forwards and can not use TWA 0.0. They can sail lengthwise and crosswise (180 +/-) inside the track. But they have to move all the time in one direction to the finish line.

First boat over the finish line loose.
Last boat over the finish line win the game.
If they stop inside the track, they are out of game. Only excuse to stop is if TWS is 0.0
If they are outside the lane they are out of game.
No excuse for putting the boat onshore. Out of game with them as well.

To complete the race it demands good navigations abilities from the boat and that is perfect for this SOL game.

Registration for the game is not a start time. It is a end time for registration and after that it's closed. And the game starts 15 minute later. As long as the server is starting the first registration it's a clue to be last here as well. But if you take the chance to wait to long you can be out of the start as well, if the server is occupied with a lot off work as it can be before closing time.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
