Posted by RainbowChaser Posts 2656 Registered at 2009-06-14 09:44:50	2013-10-02 09:16:35 - Audi Hong Kong to Vietnam Race 2013
	Sailonline is delighted to announce that it will be partnering with Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, one of the oldest sporting clubs in Hong Kong, for the running of the 2013 Audi Hong Kong to Vietnam Race which starts in Hong Kong on 17 October - Sailonline's virtual race is currently planned to open for practice over the weekend of 12/13 October First conceived in 1996 when it was run at Lunar New Year, the Hong Kong to Vietnam Race is a 656nm Category 1 offshore race and a biennial fixture in the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club sailing calendar. As a constituent event of RHKYC’s China Coast Race Week, the race makes the most of October’s prevailing north east monsoon to give competitors a thrilling, predominantly downwind race from Hong Kong to Nha Trang on Vietnam’s eastern seaboard. The 2013 edition will see a seventeen-strong fleet chasing the current race record of 42h 45m 41s, which was set in 2004 by Grant Wharington’s Skandia. __________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-10-03 09:40:30 ---

	OK folks... the real course coords have been provided. The real racers may start from up by the Clubhouse of RHKYC (Kellett Island) and head past Shek O Rock OR they will start where we are starting. The Kellett Island+Shek O option would be nigh on impossible for folks to DC, hence our Lamma choice. Shek O Rock – Starboard Rounding Latitude N22 14’ 3” Longitude E114* 15’ 59” [*only if Harbour Start] Wenwei Zhou – Port rounding Latitude N21º49.0, Longitude E 113º 56.0 North Reef Paracel Islands – Port passing Latitude N17º 06.0, Longitude E 111º 26.0 Triton Island – Port passing Latitude N15º 50.0, Longitude E 111º 10.0 Hon Dung – Starboard rounding Latitude N12º 26.0, Longitude E 109º 22.5 Rer Noir North Cardinal - Port rounding Latitude N12º 14.3, Longitude E 109º 13.8 Finish Line: In Nha Trang Bay, Vietnam approx N12º 13’60, E 109º 13’18 . and true-to-form we have created a splendid race. To sneak preview it you will need to log in using these credentials: USERNAME: sol PASSWORD: sol and then copy/paste this url into your browser: http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/621/ The race from "Nha Trang Approach" has to differ from the real race because of the way the server generates the sailing line ("outside" all waypoints) ... but hopefully this won't prove too controversial. If anyone has a suggesstion as to how we can even more closely match the official course (bearing in mind our rhumbline constraints) then please do make it! Thanks! _________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-10-12 14:49:12 ---

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
