FYI, psail, in case you didn't see it before, here is a link to the Race Proposals Guide - you need to complete the invitation/description/boat choice (p14 of the Guide)... but otherwise from a SOAR/OPS perspective we can set up the basics with what you have done so far!

Hoy Jo and Go4It (sorry, don’t know your name).
My apologies for his late answer and also for my lack to comply with the SOL suggestions rules (basic).

A - My suggestions for the boats are:
a.1 - TP52;
a.2 - VOR70.

As a term of comparison the Trans Pac S. Francisco to Honolulu is aprox. 2.076 nm.

B - Period of the race:

b.1 - Summer time start: May to August, strong N/NW winds approaching Portuguese coast and HP system centered in Açores adding some uncertainty on his approach.

b.2 - Winter time start: October to December, Açores HP goes S/SE and tons of wind blowing in the Atlantic along the approaching LP systems.

Hoy Jo.

I revised the KMZ file (attached) for this race and I hope it's now in compliance with SOL manual.

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.
Race #2037

Susan Hood Trophy Race 2026

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes racers to Sailonline’s virtual version of their annual Susan Hood Trophy Race. This year, this pleasant weekender on western Lake Ontario will be of about 60nm in length, and online for convenience will start and finish at the Port Credit Yacht Club (PCYC). At or before the real-life Skipper’s Briefing a decision will be made to race the course clockwise (course Delta) or anti-clockwise (Echo). If there is time we will match this online. As before, the race is the first of two that will count towards a special Sailonline's LOOR Series medals, but this year we sail in Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300s. Bon voyage!
