2013-03-14 14:53:45 - Gosford 2 Lord Howe Island Race - with Gosford Sailing Club
Lord Howe Island is a UNESCO World Heritage listed island in the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand.
Fleet size is restricted by limitations on mooring facilities and the fact that no more than 400 people are allowed on the island at any one time.This years fleet is 16 yachts.
I am in the process of arranging a buddy-up with the organising club - Gosford Sailing Club just north of Sydney.

Race starts at 02:00UTC, Saturday April 6th. 2013.
414nm
Race record: 33hrs 34mins 21secs

A wonderful island and a great race. Would like to do it again IRL one year and do better than last time. The race will be perfect for SOL and is one of Australia's few true blue water ocean races.

Slightly edited course and description after consultation with Gosford Sailing Club.
It appears that the TP52 in the fleet that I chose for SOL to sail against is owned and skippered by former rugby international and Gosford local, Mick Martin. Should be fun.

Tall Ships Races 2025 - Le Havre to Dunkirk


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is between the French ports of Le Havre and Dunkirk; circa 125nm in Sailonline’s magnificent 90m Barque.
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.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
