A3 - Leg3 Hobart to Sydney is ready for preview

For some weird reason the text in the description looks fine in the properties editor but will not format when I load the completed file in GE.

Let me know how it looks when you load it.

Leg 3 now set up and ready for preview.

UPDATE: 11 August: Leg 3 is now archived

Tyger - all the description etc is perfect as usual :-)

To view this leg, as you all probably know by now, log in as the sol boat:

USERNAME: sol
PASSWORD: sol

and then click here

The leg is open now for viewing via the sol boat but I will close it (temporarily) from tomorrow (Friday 10) afternoon until the weekend, as I want to be sure the SOL server is happy with the load of three active races (the Turkey race is a particularly large file!). If all is sweet as, then I will reopen A3-Leg3 and let you know when I have done so!!

:-D Another fab job, Tyger!

Another masterpiece.. I love reading the description of each race. Really sets the context perfectly.

The race is set up but as I am creating a new weathersystem for the area and just missed getting it set up in time for the update a little while ago, we will need to wait until tonight's wx to fill in before going any further. I suppose we could check the race with another wx system but better its all "good" and then if there are things to amend/correct/change we do it in one go.

:-)

I'll post the link later today.

Leg 4 is now available for previewing.

You know the procedure now, just log in as the sol boat:

USERNAME: sol
PASSWORD: sol

and then click here

The leg is open now for viewing via the sol boat but I will close it again tomorrow (Wednesday) about 1600utc until we get the timed race underway and then once loads are OK I will reopen this leg for preview for a few days.

Not sure this time about the placing of the Harbour Mark or the North Head one... seems a bit counter-intuitive for the course, but maybe that's me! edited:all sorted after convo + Tyger.

What do you think guys?

UPDATE: The race is now archived. If anyone wants it re-opened for review just holler!

A3 - Leg5 Brisbane to Hamilton Island

Another leg for preview. We're getting into the Great Barrier Reef now so navigation will be a challenge.

See attached .kmz for your consideration.

Leg 5 should be named "Insomniac's Special". On par with Channel Is Ramble and Round Turkey. Lovely...

Yup... router boys will find the going tough... especially the sailors who use routers for all the races and have come to rely on them... So many course changes you can just as well do it SOTP

Sorry folks, I didn't get an auto-notification that this thread had been updated so didn't spot the new/draft Leg 5 until just now.

I have a couple of errands to run today but will get this set up soonest!!

This is what Aaron's mom has to say about it:

"We are all really excited that people we don't even know are putting so much effort and are so enthusiastic about it. At last a race Aaron wouldn't need to set his alarm for, or perhaps not. You have no idea how many times I heard "XTZ!!::" coming from his room when he realized he had slept through another alarm ring. He would be so mad!!!"

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!
