    Does time start being assessed when I register or when I start sailing?

    I believe that the races with opened start, it is necessary to to say the hour border to be able to do the race. Concretly the race of cowes: when it finishes the time to be able to do the start?

    In OSTAR RACE they go two nights that one does not update the weather. I think fundamental that this type of problems must not exist and his solution has to be priority to support the fair play and equity in the competition.

    It is a bug or Mindoro has moved 15 miles in the northern part after the start of the race?

    jakob said @ 2009-04-20 18:12:41:
    Wow, that I did not really understand... but if you remember your trigonometry you can calculate Vmg= BS*cos(TWA), where BS is boat speed and TWA is the True Wind Angle. Let me know if you want more :-)

    The question is that value takes BS in the computer: with two decimal ones or it rounds the decimal one.
    In the example of BS=12.56 that value takes the computer? BS= 12.56 , BS=12.5 o BS=12.6

    Thanks a lot : sotil :-)

    If the speed of my ship is 12.56 kn. Are 12.50, 12.56 calculated, or 12.6 kn?

    Thanks you and good sailing

    Board » Sailonline Yacht Club
    A rankin is mas justly if to the winner of every race the same number of points is granted that of ships registered in the same one, to 2 º =numero of registered ships less one .......
    It is a way of compensating the long races, since in these more ships registered.

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!

Get ready for an exhilarating new challenge as we set sail on the fourth leg of the 2025 Ocean Championship Series!

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!

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!
