Commentary
The start of the first race in the SSANZ Two-handed Triple Series is a bit like returning home to a favourite place in the world. Even though most of us may never find ourselves on the waters off Auckland in our lifetimes, racing in the waters of New Zealand’s Hauraki Gulf is simply great fun! Sailonline is a regular buddy with SSANZ for many of its races, while the classic Triple Series also sees us linked with the Young 88 Association which, this time put up a significant entry – ideal competition for us in our virtual Young 88s! one of Sailonline’s all-time favourites.

Starting in New Zealand’s morning, this series is one that should favour those not in a European time zone but, we have some stout-hearted and indomitable racers right across the world for whom racing at all hours (and housekeeping preset delay commands) is part of who they are. Virtual racers flying the flags of 26 nations took part and our podium three this time represent three continents, coming from Finland, Peru and Australia!

The real fleet was tracked via Predictwind and this gave a sense of just where we and our virtual Young 88s were in the field, and it appeared that their exit from Auckland was favoured with an outgoing tide as they made excellent initial progress. The SSANZ Results show that the best corrected time for the Young 88 start, S/Y Split Decision was 5h18m14s (elapsed: 7h40m24s) while our winner, ij, arrived at the finish in 6h14m01s. The locals win!

Congratulations must go as always to our podium for such a great beginning to the 2019 series!

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

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.
