The SWR will be over in the first couple of weeks in April. The weekend of the 14th might be a big enough window for leg 1 of the Shackleton race.

LA-Tahiti starts on the 20th with some fast boats entered. Can we stomach crossing the Pacific the other way so soon after doing it W-E :-) ?

Actually the 20th might be a better start date for Shackleton as well.

Both would probably involve running 3 races during the Sea2Sea, but at only 20nm I'm not sure that that's an issue.

76T why do you say

The SWR will be over in the first couple of weeks in April.


As far as I can see from the official race website the last race won't complete until July!!!

:-)

I think we will run the Tahiti TransPac later in the year (we aren't buddied) and... it is the Vuelta that is 20nm not the Sea2Sea which is 295nm I've corrected the calendar)!

But we definitely need to get a Shackleton on the move .. preferably before we head into Tall Ships season!

Leg 5 :-P

Leaders should be done in 2weeks, with a longer gap this time until the next leg starts.

(sol-boat posting in the forums is stranger than ever... I've been logged in as 76T, posted and raced/reload clients since last time I used sol to check a race... nothing changed since my previous post or the one on Lolla's thread, and I show logged in as 76 grrr)

Fab!! If you think we have time to get Shackleton under way then lets go for it :-) I am deliberately keeping the calendars relatively spare of detail to allow flexibility!

Re swapping log-ins, I think it just takes a moment or two for the server to effect a change if you use the same browser. I tend to use different browsers, IE for sol, Chrome for 'Chaser.

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

This particular race was last raced on SOL in 2012 to follow Soler JuJu sailing around the island. We return, long overdue, to race our final Q2 sprint around the island.

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited 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 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
