Board » Practice Racing » VICTORIA-MAUI PRACTICE RACE(S)

Post annotated by RainbowChaser :
This thread was moved from the category Races.
There will be Practice Racing on the Victoria-Maui course, at times and courses to be determined.

As always, these are informal races and open to all, and you can join if progress if need be.

With the Kiel race starting tomorrow, the earliest Practice Race would be 1800z Sunday, starting at the official race Start point.

Details will be posted on the Vic-Maui Chat, and also here.

Don't sail too far away so you can do some short races with us!
rc:stoert:news: would this be a valid practice race positioning for two mark boats, if winds stay the same as predictor, only probably 4-5knots wind next couple of days....
start of practice: race start.
leave to port mark 1 at position..48.377...-123.302..
leave to port or jump sli at position..48.424...-123.738..
leave to port mark 2 at position..48.501...-123.264..
to finish headland at postion..48.498...-123.305.
approx 16 miles at 5 knots...
and it would put us amongst those lovely isles to the north west.

not as arty as stoert's..perhaps he could re-do. time allowing.
perhaps not, mark boats just underway
Good morning glynn - I don't think [b/news saw your plan but.. as the winds are now forecast to be lighter again, you will be pleasantly surprised at the shape of the course that is now in place!! Looks v similar to the one you proposed - just smaller!! :-)

As for artwork - light years better than mine!!!
All SOLers are invited to join in the first practice race of Vic-Maui 2010 to be held this evening Euro-time. Practice racing is a fun, totally informal and relaxed way to hone your SOLing skills and familiarise yourself with your new boat before the SOL race starts!

TIME: 1800utc

START: SOL Race Start

COURSE: Leave Mark_3 to port - Leave Mark_2 to port - finish at Mark_1

Shetland Race 2026 - Leg 2


After the thrill of the first leg, we don't linger long in Lerwick, Shetland. Following brief but joyous celebrations, it's time to set sail back across the North Sea to Bergen, Norway, for the gripping second leg of the Shetland Race 2026!

Covering another unpredictable 190 nautical miles, tactical depth and fierce competition await. This year, we take the helm of the Linjett 33. Designed by Mats Gustavsson in 1994 for Sweden's historic Rosättra Båtvarv, this sturdy, quality cruiser-racer has been a Sailonline favourite in northern waters since 2010. Whether you are chasing victory or savoring the voyage, hoist your sails and let the journey home begin!

Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race 2026


When the winter weather turns cool in southern Australia, sailors head up to the warmer tropics. Sailors from all over the world make their way to The Great Barrier Reef for the big winter regattas at Hamilton Island, Airlie Beach and Magnetic Island.
This year's B2K will start on 20 June to offer an event suited to a broader range of boats. Sailonline is, once again, joining with the racers from RQYS to race the 343 nautical miles from Brisbane to Keppel Island, this time in our First 44.7. It might be winter down under, but all you will need is shorts and t-shirts.

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!
