2012-06-23 00:15:59 - Ecker Cup 1000nm race October 2012
Ahoi Racers !

Since we hardly have Austrian
ocean races, it could be nice
to run the Ecker Cup 1000nm
race starting on 13th of October
2012. It is actually 1070nm this
time in two legs :

Leg 1 : Zadar in Croatia to
Kalamata in Greece, 550nm

Leg 2 : Kalamata to Alanya
in Turkey

It might even be possible
to buddy up with the race.

Since this is a "fun event"
for hobbyists on a timeframe,
real competitors are allowed
to use engine (hard to imagine,
I know). 1 engine hour equals 2
sailing hours..

Still I think if we use polar
of one of the bigger competing
boats we should be able to keep
up with the real fleet...

Link to route

Background

My father will race our 40 feet
boat Lizza Forte in this race
and he would be pleased to use
SOL as additional resource for
racing..

As boat I could imagine TP52,
First 47.7 or maybe class 40.....

Fair winds,

Roland

This looks like fun - and an area of the planet where SOL has not really spent much time! What a great idea :-)

Hi stoerte - d'you think SOL's First 40.7v2 is comparable with Lizza Forte??

The course is in the draft October calendar (about to be published in the calendar forum) but we haven't picked a boat yet!

The first leg of this race is now available for preview. Please note that to make the finish line "work" SOL has had to introduce a waypoint into a race that, in reality, has no waypoints at all.

To preview the race (it will be open for a few days before being archived), just do the following:

Login as the sol boat:

USERNAME: sol
PASSWORD: sol

then click here

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!
