	I am sorry if this has already been raised and discussed but is it too late to run this race again starting 26 December 2010. It has been run by SOL for a number of years and is one of the top 5 ocean races in the world. It is a good race for the Aussie SOL'rs. I guess it would be good to have a maxi yacht so we can challenge the IRL line honours race yachts. --- Last Edited by Peter Chapman at 2010-12-22 01:10:32 ---

	I think we do sail but under the name Tasman Double.

	It's on the calendar starting 0600 UTC on the 25th, which is... 1700 local the same day? It's set up with the 90' mono. Alfa Romeo and Leopard aren't on the start list this year, but 2nd place Wild Oats XI and 4th Investec LOYAL (Maximus) are there as well as Wild Thing and Lahana. We might want to switch to the Supermaxi to keep up with new boats. We matched up ok last year in the 90' though. The forecast winds are 20+ knots close reaching after a downwind start. Our polar for the 90'mono is actually a little (perhaps optimistically) faster upwind - the canting keel stretch version beats it on reaches and downwind.

	Thanks for the info 76 and garganey. I should have looked up the SOL extensive race calendar. I was just expecting to see it coming up in the Next Race area and "what do know, voila", there it is this morning. Good to see you back on the race course 76, I watched you leading, then drifting thru the doldrums in the Xmas Is race, a good race with South group leading, then North group, then South group again and then the well south group looked to have a storming finish until the wind veered behind them towards the end.

	The calendar does indeed say that the start is on December 25 - as quoted by 76Trombones above. However, the NOR says the 26th. I'm assuming the latter is the correct date, or?

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.

Cape Town to Auckland 2024

Welcome to the second leg of this Round The World series 2024. It's also the April edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is the same as the one sailed in 2023, but this year we sail the iconic Swan 65, as suggested in the concluding RTW race last year.
Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas. It's essential to take care of provisioning to ensure a smooth and enjoyable race experience. With the longer duration, we anticipate plenty of opportunities for camaraderie, competition, and unforgettable memories.
