Hi SOLers, I 've got some videos of VOR boats while they were in Alicante, I don't know if I can upload them, I have tried but I couldn't, so I put here some links with some small films I have made for our spanish forum, I hope you like them.

Race Closing

Just a quick question/reminder as I can't find the thread in forum....

What is the "target" for race closing? Does it close at the beginning of the next leg, 48hrs before, after 80% of fleet has finished? I recall getting my only DNF on the leg to NZ in the last Global race but can't recall how race closure is determined.

Does keeping it open prevent new active races from starting?

Would suggest putting a Race Close notice on the Races page to give an idea of the time left before closing.

Thanks for freshening the memory!

Hi Shamrock, the current plan is to close the leg 3 at race day from leg 4. And I believe I have put that into the post on the front page. So at around 6:00 UTC the 19th just before towback of leg 4.

A running race is not preventing us from running a new one, we do this all the time. But we try to keep the active number of races limited to reduce server loads and optimize for a new leg start. It also limits the races we have to watch as a admin, keeping the level of support high.

I will also make several notices of the expected race close in the chat like I did last race.

ShamPir - as a post script the reason you (and I and a bunch of others) got a DNF in one or more of the legs in the last Global race is because we had set a formula for opening/closing each leg to keep it as much on-the-run and non-stop as possible!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: We have included a additional mark north of the Philippines. Please reload to see the change.

We realize this has a big impact on the practice rankings atm, but we feel its important to make the change as soon as possible to allow people to prepare for the race itself.

If there was a quick way to set the mark as rounded for all boats we would have done so.

If you have Cape Engano on your route you have the latest course already loaded.

Why the extra mark, this takes away all possible routes.

Even on the official VOR site this mark is not mentioned.

Just wondering...

I thought so as well Arthur that is why it was not included.
But more info was provided that did point towards a extra mark.

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
