The Calendar & Race description states that this race is 323nm however the the course as it stands now is much shorter, only 171nm.

Curious considering we have to wait 5 days & then start 2 races only 3 hours apart, n'est pas ?

Curiouser and curiouser. The polar dataset displayed on brainaid goes no further than 20kn TWS, yet the graphic below it goes all the way to 35kn, whilst the downloadable 'detailed data as csv' again cuts off at 20kn (well 11 m/s). Variation up to 35kn as per the graphic would be nicer. Which is it going to be?
Also the SOL announcement speaks of a Delphia 47, but BrainAid heads the graphic Delphia 57. Given that max BS is around 9kn, I think that that in any event is wrong. It is a 47 footer, n'est-ce-pas encore?

A2, Thank you. The description is updated to 171nm now.

Jan, the Delphia 47 polar indeed contains a typo, it says "Delphia 57". This is only the case in this file (everywhere else the polar is named correctly): http://sailonline.org/site_media/vpp/Delphia_47.txt
Brainaid shows this file (among other data), so the incorrect name shows.
I've asked for the typo to be corrected. *EDIT: it is now corrected*

I don't see a graphic (on sol or on brainaid) that has detail above 11m/s.

Hoi, Huib, hasty of me. Of course, all the lines above 20kn are under the blue 35kn line in the graph.

Tall Ships Races 2025 - Le Havre to Dunkirk

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
