Started the race 0544UTC a bit late. I knew the race would start Wednesday but not taking into acount the time differance from Europe. But I enjoy the racing so what can be done. A rerun on another day?. Last night was my first good nights sleep in along time. Not waking up at 0000UTC or 0200UTC to check on how far back from the front i am. I appreciate the work that goes into SOL and enjoy the racing. Thanks SOL.

As far as i know, a race can only be set up with a fixed starting time, which can't be changed later on. That's the reason, why SOL won't have been able to reflect the postponement of the real race, even if a SOL-God would have been online.

And this might even be the reason, why this race popped up a bit surperisingly, only a few hours in advance, if the Starttime of the real race wasn't set more than these few hours in advance... and possibly a few hours of time shift between NZL and Europe.

Nevertheless, a Notice on the Blog that Leg 3 is to Start on March 2nd, but hte exact time isn't set yet, would have been nice, to alert folks to watch out.

Please will you take this discussion to the Sailonline Yacht Club Forum where there is a poll running, on what to be done in relation to the RNI series, and an opportunity for folks to air their views.

It would be preferable to keep this thread for news about the race, rather than SOL-specific issues.

The SOL homepage blog reflects the information we were given in relation to the start of Leg 3, the vote in the SYC Forum allows you to decide on how to rectify (or leave alone) what has happened in relation to the RNI series and what (perhaps) should be done in the future with other races where SOL and a local race organiser buddy-up.

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
