2010-12-22 01:09:09 - Sydney Hobart Race 2010
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.

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?

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.
