10 February 2019


Sailonline is delighted to once again be buddying with the Short-handed Sailing Association of New Zealand (SSANZ) for the Round New Zealand race 2019. When we last raced anti-clockwise round both of New Zealand’s islands with SSANZ back in 2012, it was the first time the real race had been run for 22 years! The race in 2012 was immensely challenging for the real racers with some almost impossible conditions encountered in Leg 2. The race this time is again in four legs, following the previous route:


Leg 1 – Auckland to Mangonui (160nm)
Leg 2 – Mangonui to Stewart Island (920nm)
Leg 3 – Stewart Island to Napier (620nm)
Leg 4 – Napier to Auckland (320nm)


The Tracker

Leg 1 of the race will start at 0100utc on Saturday,16 February and each subsequent leg of the real race will start in accordance with the formula set out in the Sailing Instructions , namely:

“At a time set by the Race Committee during the Compulsory Stopover. (i) Mangonui 24 hours minimum after the 75% boat finishes (ii) Stewart Island 72 hours minimum after the 75% boat finishes (iii) Napier 48 hours minimum after the 75% boat finishes.
There will be a mass start for each leg at a convenient time set by the Race Committee soon after 75% of the fleet have fulfilled the stopover duration.”

PLEASE NOTE: Sailonline will be competing as closely as is virtually possible with the real yachts and will be aiming to give a minimum of 24hrs notice of a start time. It is intended to close each leg promptly, in harmony with the real race, but we hope to give some allowance here. As always, your ranking for each leg will be your position at leg close.

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
