This thread was moved from the category Races.
AHOY ALL MATCHRACERS - the Giraglia 2010 is up and ready for practice and so the first matchrace will be held tonight, Sunday 11 April 2010.

TIME: 1800utc

START: SOL race start

ROUTE: To and round the island group, Iles de Lerins, at 43.52 / 7.05

FINISH: 43.70 / 7.32 (the bay of Saint-Laurent du var)

ALL ARE V WELCOME TO JOIN IN - OR IF YOU PREFER, JUST HEAD TO THE FINISH WHICH WILL BE THE START OF THE NEXT PRACTICE RACE!!


MATCHRACING FROM THE GUN ARE
crzycanuk (CAN)
newsartist (USA)
Perenkist (NED)
Rainbow (GBR)
robert1 (SWE)
stoertebaker (AUT)

glynnwi (GBR)started 4mins after the gun. Smo and Victorious joined in later too.


RANKING AFTER 1hr
(based on DTG to Iles de Lerins)

1. Rainbow 30.2
2. Perenkist AND canuk AND stoerte 30.6
5. glynnwi 30.9
6. news 31.2
7. Smo 31.8
8. africa 32.2
9. Vic 33.8


MATCHRACE FINISH CHANGE!!!

As the original finish is going to prove to be too far to go, the race will now finish by running ashore at 43.54 / 7.04 AFTER rounding the Iles de Lerins.

PRE-SLEEP RANKING

As time was pressing and some were already thinking of heading to sleep or on to tomorrow's start point, the final Ranking (based on DTG to the larger of the finish SLIs) was:

1. stoerte 6.3nm
2. Perenkist AND Rainbow 6.6nm
4. glynnwi 7.2nm
5. Smo 7.5nm
6. africa 8.9nm
7. robert 9.6nm
8. Vic 15.8nm
9. news 21.1nm
10. canuk - heading into the wide blue yonder!

This is a little skewed as both SLIs need to be rounded and all except Rainbow are more offshore, hence better placed to make the approach to the finish point.

With some heading off to other destinations overnight, the first finishers at the matchrace finish point were:

1. stoerte
2. Smo
3. africa
4. glynnwi (slightly off finish point)
5. Rainbow (just about to finish)

Perenkist didn't round the islands but arrived before everyone (hopefully got the bbq and grog ready!).

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

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.
