The overall popular winner is the 60ft tri.

Thank you to everyone contributing - the aim is that we sail relatively competitively with the real fleet and, for a change, sail a multi rather than a monohull.

Look out for race info to appear shortly!

Welcome to the 2013 PIC Insurance Brokers Coastal Classic Yacht Race

Thirty two years ago a member of the Auckland Multihull Sailing Association had the idea of racing from the Devonport/Orakei area of Auckland's harbour up the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, to the harbour of Russell, following in the wakes of the speedboats of the 1920s, who ran this course aiming to set speed records. Since then the race from Auckland to Russell has become known the world over as the Coastal Classic. Originally an all-comers event, it is now raced in classes with a wide range of prizes on offer - for division winners, for seamanship and even for the littlest boat finishing.

Sailonline is delighted to again host the virtual version of this New Zealand classic race - racing in 60ft trimarans we hope to give the real racers a challenge.

Results and Race Report



This has to have been the speediest run from Auckland to Russell in the history of SOL - our racing 60ft trimarans certainly had something to do with it, but also the winds were stronger than we have encountered here in the past. Starting with only a few preferring to bbq than race, the fleet of virtual boats were soon at the front of the combined real and virtual pack with only TeamAustralia and TeamVodaphoneSailing noticeably pulling away!

The first 20 virtual boats out of a total registered fleet of 284 flying 39 different national flags, arrived in Russell within 10 minutes of each other, in just over 11 hours. Their race seemed timed to perfection, as it was at this point that the relatively strong NW winds began to ease and become less stable.

In the real race the two record-breaking contenders didn't break any records although TeamAustralia arrived at the finish in just over 8hrs and TeamVodafoneSailing arrived in just under 9hrs. As Sailonline has yet to develop foils for her tri, the real results should in no way detract from the excellent podium places for our top three racers - full focus, fine-course adjustments and complete attention to the slightest of wind changes is what brought success here. BRAVO guys!

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2025


SOL’s SRC (Sailonline Race Committee) has taken us to some unusual places in the past, and San Lorenzo Island off Lima’s Callao peninsula is definitely another one. Housing a naval base and a penal institution, no vessel is allowed within 300m of its shores. Also, with no sources of potable water, it is a matter of debate whether it is an island at all, and not just a large rock. So, whatever you do, don’t be tempted to BBQ; you’ll be arrested and go thirsty! We return for the first time since 2018 to race thirteen potentially unlucky miles in J-30s; have fun!!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
