Series Leaderboard

The SSANZ Safety at Sea Two-Handed Triple Series is one of Sailonline’s first multi-event buddy-up with the brilliant SSANZ organisation and, over the years, has become a classic in our racing calendar. For a second year, Sailonline was also associated with the Young 88 Association, whose members race in this series, thereby bringing a superb extra realism as we can directly compare our virtual Young 88 performances with the real fleet. Thank you to SSANZ for their continuing support and also to the Y88 racers for giving us a run for our money!

Although we couldn’t bring any of the real fleet on-screen, the race tracker provided us with a window into how the real fleet was racing throughout the series and, when there was a spare moment, it was possible to be impressed with just how comparable were the tracks of the real and virtual fleets.

This was the first year of racing the series without reportage from NZL_Yachtyakka, who sadly died from cancer earlier in the year. His memory will live on, both in Practice Racing where the mooring of his yacht Beep Beep is now a firm port-of-call, but also every time we pass by Onetangi Bay – it shall now be the law that we raise glasses and toast his memory! RIP dear Yakka.

And now to the success of our podium. The three almost-sprintlike races in the series saw very tough competition from the outset. The three podiums of the SSANZ Baltic 50, SSANZ NZ Rigging 60 and SSANZ Evolution Sails 100 revealed just how tough it was, so CONGRATULATIONS you Series Podium takers! Your victory was hard won and very well deserved.

PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2026

Kia Ora, SOLers! Welcome back to Auckland for the 2026 PIC Coastal Classic! In partnership with the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club, Sailonline is thrilled to bring you this iconic 118nm legendary sprint to Russell.

Expect the unexpected on this tricky course up the North Island's East Coast—from adrenaline-fueled spinnaker rides to nail-biting pre-dawn lulls. This year, we take on the elements in the highly popular Seacart 30. Designed by Marc Lombard, this nimble trimaran features a challenging polar that rewards pure tactical precision.

Chart your course, conquer the coastal currents, and race for ultimate bragging rights! Upon crossing the finish line in scenic Russell, the traditional reward of bacon butties and rum awaits!

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
