All,
Just a thought for broadening the Practice Race fleet.
Give the usual time-frame for current PRs, it remains (appropriately) EU-centric. However, I don't see any reason why we could not run the same PR course with a later start time to better capture a few additional timezones.

I propose initiating a Midnight Madness run to have a start time of 0000UTC, keeping to the same course as that run by the 1800UTC fleet. All of the same rules, etiquette and irreverent banter will apply and I will try to post the results with the same precision and poise as the SOLGoddess (but may call on others for some help.)

Will plan to start with the next set of PRs and would welcome your comments and participation.

See you at the line!

SP

Hey, Sham ! This is a great idea ! :-D

If you publish midnight G-scows, I could enlist them as G-crews. Unless you wish to keep them in another list ? :-)
Being EU centered, I can't help much more...

Maybe NZers would be interested in a 6am madness too ?

Next Race: 00d 00h 00m

Current Races:

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!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
