*Hawaiian ZigZag
*Vineyard
*Maui-Mazatlan
*Iberian Tour
*Auckland Regional
*Carib Rum Run
*Ouzo Rally
*Atlant'Iles Challenge
*Key Lime Pie
* Round Fastnet(or that little island off the SW corner of Ireland) Rock Challenge
*Poor Man's Race (2 legs)

---------------------------
Nice ideas captjack - the Auckland Regional is being run this year as the B&G Simrad Series, the Vineyard is already in the calendar, and we will be Sailing Around Turkey which is not quite Bosphore-Bretagne but at least part of it!! We've also spent quite a bit of time round Europe and the British Isles recently so its time to give other areas an airing as well!!

I just finished reading the book: Endurance, by Alfred Lansing. Fascinating!

A race, following its route from South Georgia - Antarctica - Elephant Island - South Georgia is a possibility, but some 3700 NM!!

Here you can see it on GE - would you like me to work on it?

Hi Hawk - if you look here you will see that someone has already thought of that!! Maybe you can bring that thread by to life by reposting your comment there?

There are a lot of races that have yet to be run in SOL (and if you look at captjack's selection above of his favourites, there are a lot of pre-run ones that we like to run again!) so it wouldn't be something we could necessarily do immediately.

:-)

Amazing done by 76T !! I think we have almost the samt thoughts here :-)

I just made this suggestion, because you wrote, that the SEP-calendar was almos empty. didnt consider re-runs, but for me it is OK, Im still new here.

I am happy to announce the restoration of 5 September - it had decided to take a day off until it was reminded that its presence in the race calendar is essential :-D

RC, It would be interesting to see a list of the races we have on the list that are new and waiting?. There are at LEAST 2-3 more from Jepsom, one on the coast of Maine and a several others I can't think of. With the Atlantic hotting up, I may resurrect the "Storm Series" idea as well.

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!

Valparaiso to San Francisco 2025

Get ready for an exhilarating new challenge as we set sail on the fourth leg of the 2025 Ocean Championship Series! Following in the 19th century footsteps of Isabel Allende's heroine, Eliza Sommers, 'Daughter of Fortune', this all-new route takes us across the vast eastern Pacific, from Valparaíso, Chile, to San Francisco, California - a 3500nm journey of endurance, strategy, and pure sailing adrenaline. This leg will be raced aboard the powerful Rapido 60, pushing sailors to their limits as they navigate the open ocean. Do you have what it takes to conquer the Pacific? Join us and put your skills to the ultimate test!

Red Eye - Round White Island 2025

We remain in New Zealand for our second “Red Eye Special” and another IRL Kiwi classic - the Round White Island! IRL still “currently on hiatus” following the island’s eruption of 2019, this race was last raced on SOL in 2020. It’s about 300nm there - out the Hauraki Gulf and south down to the island in the Bay of Plenty - and back to Auckland. This year we’ll be racing in our ever-popular take on the TP-52. Hau tika!

Moheli PYOC 2025


For our first sprint of Q2, we will re-visit the African archipelago nation, L’Union des Comoros, and its most southern island, Moheli, in the Mozambique Channel. Created by MustangMark in 2014 this is a “Pick Your Own Course” round the island, approximately 20nm in our First 27. Expect winds to be light and variable; we are in the Tropics.

Africa by Sea - Tangier to Abidjan


Whatever about pharaoh Necho II’s Phoenician expedition of the 7th C BCE, the Carthaginian Hanno the Navigator with more certainty sailed south from Tangier to explore the West African coast two centuries later, but how far he got is a matter of more conjecture. However, if he did the 2300nm to today’s Ivory Coast he would have found little there other than good shelter in the vast lagoons behind the dunes, much the same as today, excepting the highly industrialized port of Abidjan. Not a great haven for a stop-over but let’s take the 90ft Monohull anyway.

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!
