The Three Kings Offshore Race is a 500 nautical mile challenge from Auckland (Orakei) up and around the Three Kings Islands and then back to Auckland finishing where you started. The Three Kings Islands provide some of the worlds best diving and fishing locations (although hopefully you won’t be fishing too much during the race, or diving for that matter) and is just a beautiful, yet rugged place that is a must see you anyone who loves the ocean

Note that the real race is organised by RAYC. I have not contacted them about following them on SOL.

Hi Scotsman - only just saw this so have moved the thread, as requested.

Do you have dates for the IRL race? and... if you have contacts at RAYC (I only have an email from when we ran the Sail Noumea) please feel free to contact them! A buddy-up would be great :-)

Email sent to Suellen with cc to the general email address (I know she can be busy)!

Cross fingers/paws we get a response... then I can point her in your direction, Scotsman, and vice versa,in case of any local or other issues that need to be sorted between us :-)

Hope that's OK?

We need to pick a boat-type... ?Young 11(mod) or something else? What will be representative of the IRL fleet, d'you think?

Farr 38 / Farr 11.6 closer in speed to yy. Don't think we have a polar for a Stewart 34.

Farr 38 it is.

Got the NOR from RAYC website and have the race pretty much all set up.

I am adding in Cape Rodney and North Cape on the way there and back just to keep the sailing line pretty much offshore (rather than cutting across the North Island!).

Its looking good and I will post a "sneak preview" link after we have this afternoon's WX update, as at the mo the New Zealand WX chart is too small (last used for a Hauraki Gulf race).

Once you see the race, feel free to propose modifications as always!

:-D

No word (yet) from Suellen at RAYC but I live in hope.. it is a month away after all!

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!

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.
