	The overall popular winner is the 60ft tri. Thank you to everyone contributing - the aim is that we sail relatively competitively with the real fleet and, for a change, sail a multi rather than a monohull. Look out for race info to appear shortly!

	Welcome to the 2013 PIC Insurance Brokers Coastal Classic Yacht Race Thirty two years ago a member of the Auckland Multihull Sailing Association had the idea of racing from the Devonport/Orakei area of Auckland's harbour up the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, to the harbour of Russell, following in the wakes of the speedboats of the 1920s, who ran this course aiming to set speed records. Since then the race from Auckland to Russell has become known the world over as the Coastal Classic. Originally an all-comers event, it is now raced in classes with a wide range of prizes on offer - for division winners, for seamanship and even for the littlest boat finishing. Sailonline is delighted to again host the virtual version of this New Zealand classic race - racing in 60ft trimarans we hope to give the real racers a challenge.

	Results and Race Report This has to have been the speediest run from Auckland to Russell in the history of SOL - our racing 60ft trimarans certainly had something to do with it, but also the winds were stronger than we have encountered here in the past. Starting with only a few preferring to bbq than race, the fleet of virtual boats were soon at the front of the combined real and virtual pack with only TeamAustralia and TeamVodaphoneSailing noticeably pulling away! The first 20 virtual boats out of a total registered fleet of 284 flying 39 different national flags, arrived in Russell within 10 minutes of each other, in just over 11 hours. Their race seemed timed to perfection, as it was at this point that the relatively strong NW winds began to ease and become less stable. In the real race the two record-breaking contenders didn't break any records although TeamAustralia arrived at the finish in just over 8hrs and TeamVodafoneSailing arrived in just under 9hrs. As Sailonline has yet to develop foils for her tri, the real results should in no way detract from the excellent podium places for our top three racers - full focus, fine-course adjustments and complete attention to the slightest of wind changes is what brought success here. BRAVO guys! Real Race Pic Gallery ________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-10-25 15:26:03 ---
