2011-08-27 20:20:51 - Round Norway
We have just finished the wonderfull "Round Turkey", maybe the best race on SOL, I think.

Then the idea struck me!

How about a "Round Norway" race ?
Its about 1400 NM, and demands precise Fjord sailing, and North Atlantic drama !!

Beautifull pics and stories can be shown/told, and we have some decent SOLers from the far North - for sure.

Hiya Hawk - that's an excellent idea and has already been thought of by Jepsom as the third race in his Scandinavian Tour is a "round Norway" one!

:-)

BUT I don't think he has prepared a Guided Tour so... that's still up for grabs??!! :-D (just kidding!).

Here's one Hawk...

I designed a race around "The Zero Confluence" >>> the intersection of the Prime Meridian and Equator. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out when they get ANY wind there!

See you in Asian Sprints!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

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.
Race #2037
