An interesting idea would be to sail this race with 8mR boats, I think Finland has the biggest fleet of eights in the world and also Helsinki is hosting their Worlds this summer, so we might attract some finnish classic sailors that way.

I think we could get the polars for a generic eight somewhere.

I like the idea of sailing this race in 8mR in conjunction with their worlds.There has been a resurgence of interest in the class in AUS in recent years and I know of 2 boats from here going to the worlds. Polars should be easy to obtain, several well known designers are producing new designs. David Vieira of Portugal is considered the world authority on 8mRs, he designs, builds and restores them.

I am setting something up for this coming weekend (Turku to Helsinki), with Smo's blessing.

Won't in any way interfere with what you guys are up to!

:-)
===============

OK, its set up. To see it in all its glory you should wait for the next WX update at 1630 today (Monday, 25 Feb) but if you can manage without the full WX Zone then just log in as the sol boat:

USERNAME: sol
PASSWORD: sol

and then click here

If you think the course is too tricky or needs additional waypoints to make it more fun etc just add comments here (after discussing it in race chat no doubt!!)

The Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!

Great Nicobar to Marion Island 2025

The Adventure Continues – Leg #6 of the RWW Series.
We’re setting sail on the next stage of the RWW Series: a 4,400-nautical-mile passage from Great Nicobar to Marion Island. This demanding leg will test endurance, strategy, and seamanship at the highest level. As part of the 2025 Ocean Championship, this marks the ninth legendary challenge in the series — and one of the most exhilarating yet. The race will be contested aboard the Archer 78’ ketch, a vessel built to push sailors to their limits across the vast Indian Ocean.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
