ORCV Melbourne to Devonport Race 2024

Welcome to the prestigious "Rudder Cup," Australia's oldest and most iconic yacht race, proudly sailed for over 110 years. Spanning 196 nautical miles, this thrilling race takes competitors across the notorious Bass Strait, navigating the unpredictable waters between Melbourne and Tasmania. Organized by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria, this race is as much about strategy as it is about endurance. This year, our SOLers will be racing in the agile J-122, a 40-foot performance yacht from J-Boats, known for its perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and resilience. Buckle up for a fierce battle against the elements and each other as we embark on one of the toughest and most storied races in the Southern Hemisphere. Let the adventure begin!

Mistli's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Welcome to one of Sailonline's great traditions - the generally slightly untimely celebration of SOLer Mistli's birthday on November 1, by way of a tricky race through the Stockholm Archipelago. As always, we are providing you with a fleet of speedy Seacarts to slice through these (at least) 61.5nm of SLI-infested waters, to give you a fair chance that there will still be some beer left by the landlubbers who have descended early to the campfire by the jetty at Trosa!
