Race Leaderboard

Commentary

There are some races that are now part of Sailonline’s tradition and one of them is the Boxing Day (26 December) run from Sydney to Hobart in one of the speediest boats in our boathouse. This year, again, we raced our 100ft Maxi and with interesting conditions favouring smaller boats, while we raced well, and SOLers flying the flags of 33 nations took part, we didn’t set a new Sailonline course record, so the 2017 record still stands. One of the highlights of this race is that it usually becomes a “welcome back” for SOLers who, for the rest of the year, often find themselves hard pressed to find time to race with us – this year was no exception, and if you cast your eye down the leaderboard you will see names that we were delighted to see racing again.

The 2019 podium are to be congratulated for an excellent race – our 2019 winner, outlaw has won twice before, and the third place taker, Alexandria has won once before! Clearly, the course, while challenging for everyone, just brings out the best among the best of us! Many congratulations guys!

N.B. This was Leg 1 of our Tasman Double two-race mini-series and Leg 2 will start on 2 January 2020 at 0000utc!

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
