Firstly, thanks to the race orginizers for orginizing the Sydney Hobart, I am looking forward to it.

Why is it that the chosen boat for this race is a SeaCart 30 Trimaran, when all the yachts in the real race are monohulls?

Hi. To be honest there lies no deeper consideration behind the choice of boat. I did not know that the IRL-race was only monohulls. The SeaCart is a fun boat, that is why we chose it. Thanks for commenting, but it is a little too late to change now...

Hi, you can download the free version of Sailplanner which contains the VO70 polar and a 40-footer. To get the SeaCart in there you need the full version of Sailplanner.

To clariyfy: We do not usually give away the race polars from SOL but using the full Sailplanner version you can import any polar you like (as long as you have it). Thats what I meant. :-)

Rapallo to Nador 2026


Welcome to Liguria’s Rapallo, there where Zarathustra spoke - at length - to Nietzsche, for our first race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil. A number of our races in this new Magical Mediterranean series will be partnership with famous real-life races, but this first race is pure fiction - 780nm in refurbed IMOCA 60s, past or through the Balearic Isles and on into the Alboran Sea, to a finish off Nador on the Maroc Mediterranean coast.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
