Reports

Commentary

Embarking on this daring adventure required a special breed of sailors – those either exceptionally brave or blissfully clueless. Out of the 62 racers who set sail on time, only 35 successfully navigated their way to the finish line, meticulously rounding all 21 waypoints in the correct order and direction. The key to triumph rested on a delicate balance: staying vigilant or configuring precise DC.s, and ideally, executing both strategies.

It's worth noting that the racing area in real life (IRL) is infinitely more intricate than the simplified SOL map suggests. A glimpse at the navigation charts northwest of Korpo, accessible here: Navigation Charts, unveils the complexity of the topography. This region serves as a testament to the fact that a staggering 90% of the world's navigation marks are concentrated in the waters of Finland and Sweden combined. The race, therefore, not only tested the mettle of the sailors but also showcased the navigational intricacies of this unique and challenging maritime environment.

Hats off to the intrepid captains of CollegeFund Speedwagon and brewman, who not only kept their vessels afloat but also conquered the challenges throughout the entire race.

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!
