				21	Starting procedure
				22	---------------
				23	All boats are towed back to the starting line 1 ho
				>	ur before race start. From 1 hours before the st
				>	art, until the start, the boats are held at the st
				>	arting line. A command executed during this perio
				>	d will be the initial command for the boat at the
				>	start.
				24
				25	Example: Race starts 18.00 UTC. If a player sends
				>	a command, TWA 55 degrees at 17.32 UTC, the boat
				>	will sail TWA 55 degrees at 18.00 UTC when the boa
				>	ts are released.
				26
				27	Please note that you can also use a delayed comman
				>	d to be executed during the prestart phase - it ha
				>	s the same effect.

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2021
Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April and it is therefore fitting that Sailonline's tradition of celebrating this joyous event by racing like loons around the Stockholm Archipelago is upheld. Please join us in a tricky 30nm race in beautiful Linjet33s from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to a birthday BBQ by Baggensfjärden.
Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!
Lycka till, alla!!

Valletta Sprint 2021
Welcome once again to the Mediterranean and a true SOL perennial. At 588nm in often light Mediterranean airs, to-date no boat – multi or maxi, SOL or IRL – has managed to best the US's Rambler’s time of 47:55:03 for this course set during the 2007 Middle Sea Race. This year, we offer you our Orange 125 catamaran, so the record is on!

Cape Horn TIMED Run 2021
Welcome to Chile, welcome to Cape Horn, and welcome to a course round these inhospitable waters. This is a place with plenty of wind and strong currents. Our 161 nm triangular TIMED RUN goes around two groups of small islands that are an important nesting site for a number of southern seabirds. Last raced in 2018, we are back here in our updated IMOCA 60s to attempt the challenge once more in these wild waters!
