Only one request. A Swan is a very comfortable boat IRL, but maybe something with a bit more speed than less than 8 kts top speed.
Now if we want a Swan, How about this one: http://www.nautorswan.com/swanlineproducts/tabid/295/SwanLine/80/boatId/27/boatVersionId/55/Default.aspx

Nice race, only some minor questions regarding the marks.

- should the belle ile mark and the SE mark be on land or are they intentionally offshore?

-with island markers in the middle of the island ranking will go up and down wilst passing these marks, if shifted to the outer point ,close to the courseline, the effect wil be less. It might save you a lot of questions/remarks about shifting rankings.

Agree with Tempest on both points. That might make it a bit cleaner. I also like the Swan80... do we have a polar for that? Should be a fun week race! Well done!

Tempest - those two marks are deliberately offshore :-)

Thanks for checking!

Captjack and ShamPir - at the moment we only have the polar for the Swan 36 which is why, I believe, Sunrunner chose it.

Do you have a polar/polar diagram for a Swan 80?? If not, let us know and we will hunt one down!!

Hi All,
One other consideration... with the existing polar, at max wind speed and optimum boat speed/angle, the race will still take well over a week to complete. Would this be considered in the ocean series or the week series given times and distance?

Several SOLers logged in as themselves rather than the SOL boat. These boats will now be de-activated and any further review of this course must be done as the sol boat.

Simply login by using the following:

usernamr: sol

password: sol

and use the link in my first post!!

Thanks all for comments/ideas thus far!

Regata dell’Accademia Navale 2025

Welcome to Sailonline’s first partnership with the City of Livorno, in cooperation with the local yacht clubs and the Italian Navy, to offer you the online opportunity to race the Regata dell’Accademia Navale. 630nm in length, starting and finishing in Livorno, the race takes you the length and breadth of the Tyrrhenian Sea via Porto Cervo and Capri. Online, you will be sailing a Class 40, which should keep you well in with the top of the real-life fleet which we will be tracking on screen!

Transat à Deux 2025

Above you see a single-handed sailor semi-foiling his Beneteau Figaro III to the horizon. It is in fact Ireland’s Sailor of the Year and the overall winner of last year’s Solitaire du Figaro, Tom Dolan. Somehow, we got our hands on a polar for the Class, and rather than trying to surreptitiously track Tom and his mates in the 2025 edition of the Solitaire, sailing rather-short, single-handed legs across the Celtic Sea and Biscay, we thought we’d see how our virtual craft would fare on the Class’s double-handed 3900nm Trans-Atlantic, from somewhere in Brittanny to somewhere in the Caribbean via somewhere in the Canaries. Allez, mes braves!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

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 this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
