2013-10-19 17:11:00 - PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2013
This coming week sees another first for Sailonline - we are the official virtual race partner for this year's Auckland to Russell race, better known as the PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race.

In the past we have raced Young 11s (monohulls) but as this started as a multihull event, it seems right that we try racing a multihull this year!

Sailonline's boathouse has two racing multihulls and one multihull "gin palace" - it is probably not appropriate for us to race in our GB90s so the choice of our boat has to be between:

F18s

Seacarts

60ft trimaran

and
Orange 125ft Cat.

Here is the Official Entry List

Which of our four racing multihulls will perform best please?

NOR from 2012

and for the forecast wx just look in the Sydney-Auckland Tall Ships race! The tall ships are gathering near Russell in the Bay of Islands at the moment!

RC my choice would be F18s -love the high speed bumps - although i haven't an idea whether there is going to be breeze or not.

Would go with our 60ft cat as it's not raced since long .. another might be seacart .. F18 is not realistic in that race and orange too fast

Would consider the 60' tri too, very common and raced everywhere... For a big multi, that is...

The scratch boat seems to be Team Australia "Big Bird". A 60' tri that just shattered the Sydney to Auckland record.
Our 60' tri might be a bit slower, but still make a good match.
On the other hand, our seacart should be close in performance to the 8.5 Class cats, there are several entered as this is a local box rule design.

60ft TRIMARAN Two 60ft Trimarans are entered in the race. Team Aus just broke the SYD2AKL record and are going for the race record. http://livesaildie.com/team-australia-syd-to-akl-record-tick-akl-to-russel-record/

I like trimarans, mine is 6' so I wouldn't mind a 60'
Just wish I had £250,000 to buy one IRL. 😎

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
