OK, sneak preview time.

Do you think we need to add a North Head waypoint (headland opposite RAYC) so that those who don't max zoom to start can see to go round the headland? For the start at least?

Per instructions: My only comment on the Three Kings Race, is the Start location.

Depending on start time, (wrong for somebody, somewhere.) and depending on wind, it looks like a tricky DC Start.

That might turn off people from entering?

We often see smaller fleets than those registered. (You have to register to see the details of the start location.)

Didn't manage to see the race online but I've no objection to moving the start line. Although, it isn't hard to set a dc for the first turn, so it isn't the toughest start line out there. The recent start to A3 was much more difficult and that still had a good turn out.

The kmz file had marks set up? I had Cape Brett rather than Cape Rodney and all the 3 Kings islands included. The marks you have set up are fine though and make no difference to the race.

Note that North Cape is called Cape Reinga. That is the only revision required.

Hi Scotsman - I have renamed North Cspe NZ to Cape Reinga and I have switched Cape Rodney for Cape Brett.

When I decided to set the race up yesterday I totally forgot to load your kmz.. I am v sorry.

However, we can't have a mark in the middle of the island group as the sailing line would require us to duck inside it (its how the server sets marks vs line) and the NOR has us leaving the entire group to port.

:-)

Maybe my idea of putting a mark on North Head will help folks with setting DCs for the start?

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
