	Hi, I think that a discussion about what races to run in the future would be nice. All users with a constructive opinion is welcome in the thread. When shall we race, where from, where to, what boat types etc? --- Last Edited by Jakob Kuttenkeuler at 2007-12-24 05:32:57 --- ...one of the guys behind the game...

	Why not have a TP52 race circus. Short fleet race. One day race, 5 days.. --- Last Edited by Ulf Zschüttig at 2007-12-24 02:16:01 --- Part owner of Britt-Marie (http://www.brittmarie.se)

	The rolex cirquit we are doing at the moment is quite good. Im not sure if we have enough weather detail for "part of day" racing. I would love to do a longer atlantic leg or a dive in the southern ocean. I had mentioned the Round of Texel and maybe the archipelago raid, but then we have to fit in some sort of paddle mode I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	Some ideas (these would perhaps be attractive for possible US players): Fort Lauderdale to Charleston Race (http://www.stormtrysail.org/, 408nm, April 23rd @ 1400 EDT) Newport to Bermuda (http://www.bermudarace.com/, 635 nm, June 20 @ 1300 EDT) Transpac Tahiti Race (http://www.transpacificyc.org/, 3.571 nm, June 22 @ 1300 PDT, Honolulu next race 2009) Volvo Suursaari Race (http://www.espoosuursaarirace.org/, 160 nm, June 6 @ 1800 UTC) Gotland Runt preliminary race in 40 feet "normal" boat (so that those that a participating in the real race can fine tune our skills

	This one looks like fun, perhaps a little long though...6-9 days in an open 60'. Take a look at: www.calaisroundbritainrace.com/index-uk.php.html

	This could perhaps be fun, in an exotic kind of way: CIRCUITO ATLÁNTICO SUR ROLEX CUP, Olivos/Buenos Aires - Punta del Este, Argentina/Uruguay, 14th Jan 2008.(http://www.yca.org.ar/Gallery/674.pdf) Approximately 175 nm (those guys seem to have preetty shallow waters there). Maybe we could even attract some South American players with us? --- Last Edited by Laiska Kettu at 2007-12-31 12:47:44 ---

	Would this be even better: 02-XXIIº Regata Oceánica Rolex Buenos Aires - Río de Janeiro 9 feb 2008 15:00 Argentinian time, approx. 1.123 nm

	Why dont we challenge Francis Joyon from the equator to finish?
Posted by VenerRace Posts 1 Registered at 2007-11-02 19:57:48	2008-01-07 15:44:01 - Re: Future races
	Why not Venerrace 180Nm whith a Sunfast 3200! or make it shorter so we dont have to spend all weekend at the computer! As an alternative. or Make a new race "scandinavian open" from Copenhagen to Luleå and back

	eddiemiller9000 said: Round the world. Can it be done? I'd like to see live races running alongside real race events such as fastnet. ----- We're doing it all the time (races alongside real races)! Last race was Sydney Hobart, we've also done Middle Sea Race, Fastnet etc. Stay tuned - more races are coming! Regarding Around the world, we might do it sooner or later...

Capt Anderson's Resupply TIMED Race 2024

Welcome back to the Pacific Northwest for a race that takes us around the southern end of Vancouver Island and up the west coast as we supply six lights. The leg starts in Victoria, and we sail into the open water of the Salish Sea. After making our way up the west coast we must go up the narrow channel to restock in Port Alberni. 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.

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

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!
