Leg 10 Sailonline Ocean Race

The FINAL leg.

Interestingly with this last leg, all boats will have sailed about 1.25 times around the world, based upon the longitude covered. You may want to check this out!

In latitude terms, we are as far North as Cape Horn is South.

This is the fleets first time to visit Russia, so it will all be a new experience for each of us. The winter winds can be extreemely cold, so luckily we are visiting in summer.

Good racing for all as this is really a straight "curved" great circle course, without any rounding marks or waypoints.

Good Luck

Leg 9 Sailonline Ocean Race

After crossing the wide oceans, we come to the tricky stages. A close inshore race leg, with major turning points that will keep all navigators busy, and without a lot of sleep.

The only bonus is that we will be sailing in close quarters, in narrow channels between land, so lookouts need to be active all the time. ZOOMING in will be recommended.

If you do run aground, there are lots of locals to ask for directions, so no one should get lost.

Good Luck

Leg 8 Sailonline Ocean Race

Hi racers, we have set up the final course for the leg 8 of the Volvo Ocean Race.

We have now included the Delta Lloyd mark close to the Dutch shore that the real boats need to pass as well. We always try to match the real course of the race. They will sail a small set course there but with sol we have a single mark there.

The course will be: 1: Start Galway 2: Lizard Point leave to port 3: Delta Lloyd Gate Race leave to port 4: Finsh in Marstrand Sweden. A good short notice can be found here: brainaid notice page

I have waited with this adjustment to allow the practice boats to complete most of the course with normal ranking. Hope to see you all at the start for this sprint across the North Sea, start time 13:30 UTC
