Its time to enter the next leg of this 9 leg marathon.

For this second leg we head off from Cape Town and will finish in Abu Dhabi. This looks to be a great leg and something quite different from the classic run into Cape Town. Of course we hope we have the full six boats on the line for the real start. We are looking forward to see all of you again, after the superb numbers we had in the previous race.

IMPORTANT: COURSE CHANGED reload to see the changed course!
We now sail around Maritius island to match the actual course more.

Leg 2 Cape Town to Abu Dhabi Sunday 11 December 2011,
SOL race start at 14:00 UTC

Live feed from in-port and leg start can be found here: Livestream.com and on: Youtube channel

Unfortunately there is a big shadow across this leg. This is due to the piracy threat in almost half of the planned course. The real boats will be shipped a large portion of this leg but we have chosen to run it as intended. We do want to raise awareness of this huge problem for shipping in this area so we included 2 offshore exclusion marks. This will force a more offshore route. We have tried to make the area as real as possible but unfortunately the safety zone extends way beyond what we have set.

For more information on the current situation there is a link from the ISAF: here: Warning Notice, published by the International Sailing Federation Basically stating don't go anywhere in the indian ocean at all! And a list of the incidents last year complete with a map overview here: NATO shipping incidents

Registration is now open for this leg and will close for leg 1, you have still one week to sail into Cape Town as we will close the leg 1 race in a week. Rankings will count even if you have not made it.

We have set up a forum section for additional info and links, you can find this here: Sailonline World Race topic ************

Tall Ships 2026 - Stavanger to Aalborg


Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
