Actually the best start time to get us to the doldrums faster would be around 02:00~03:00 thur the 7th.
But I vote no more changes. Let's just race.

I'm with Cappy - LET'S RACE AS NOW SCHEDULED!!!

I always start late anyway, and always finish in the top 150-200, whatever everyone else wants I'm good with.
I hate work, it always gets in the way of having fun. LOL

Agreed... long race and a lot can happen. Conditions are the same for all... So... Let's get cracking on planned start time
I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

I agree the systems will be what they will be and we should go as planned. Its a long race and in real sailing in general races start as advertised without being able to pick and chose the best weather. PR

UPDATE

As at now, the majority are in favour with staying with the current start time.

The stats are:

Current Start: 17
New Start: 2
Don't Mind: 2

I am now out until later this morning so, despite this majority, we will of course wait until the midday cut-off. That's fair isn't it?

:-)

Thank you all for your replies so far, this can help us for future races as well.

My personal thought is go as planned and if we like it we can always re-visit this one and set it up so we can have even more of a record run.

Greetings to all, my opinion is that you should not change neither the hour nor the day of departure, ie would have to leave the day was planned from the beginning, as the race is long and winds conditions many days can vary widely as to the best and worse.

saludos a todos , mi opinion es que no se debe cambiar ni la hora ni el dia de la salida , es decir que habria que salir el dia que estaba previsto desde su origen, ya que la carrera es muy larga y las condiciones de vientos en tantos dias pueden ser muy variables tan to a mejor como a peor

Let's get going as scheduled. The weather on this one is going to even out the optimum starting time anyway due to the length of the race.

Start as scheduled, a race is a race no matter what the conditions.

Africa by Sea - Tangier to Abidjan


Whatever about pharaoh Necho II’s Phoenician expedition of the 7th C BCE, the Carthaginian Hanno the Navigator with more certainty sailed south from Tangier to explore the West African coast two centuries later, but how far he got is a matter of more conjecture. However, if he did the 2300nm to today’s Ivory Coast he would have found little there other than good shelter in the vast lagoons behind the dunes, much the same as today, excepting the highly industrialized port of Abidjan. Not a great haven for a stop-over but let’s take the 90ft Monohull anyway.

Sea Lion TIMED Race 2025

Come on down South for long days of sunlight and strong bracing winds to race our Finngulf 43 as many times as you like - 117nm as the albatross flies - through some of the islands of the Falklands archipelago. This is a TIMED race, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Azores Challenge 2025


Another almost forgotten race at SOL. For only the second time we will sail the Jester Azores Challenge route from 2016.
What is the Jester Challenge?
Every two years a group of singlehanded sailors heads for Plymouth to sail the Atlantic. The Jester Challenge is not a race in any way, shape or form, simply an opportunity for skippers to test their boats and their seagoing mettle in a supportive and non-competitive environment. Skippers can make stopovers in other ports or harbours if they so desire, and there is no stigma attached to retiring from the event. Each sailor takes full responsibility for him or herself, their boat and the equipment they carry. There are no entry fees and virtually no rules, although there are guidelines.
Our rules are a bit different and we have a 60ft trimaran at our disposal and we have 1200nm to cover. Let's see what our yachts and their skippers can do. We wonder what you will take on board?

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

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 this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
