First update from OpenCountry:

QUOTE
ust another sunny day in Auckland New Zealand!

Thanks RC for setting this up. Yak & I are almost ready to go.

The weather forecast is "light winds variable - might get up to 5 knots some time in the next 48 hrs.

So We expect a slow race. Must give the Easter Bunny our sea address Hope he delivers!!!

RC we will send you photos and updates as we work our way to Tauranga. But we are not expecting this to be a quick race.

The weather is fabulous! But not for sailing ha ha.

Cheers for now from the scurvy crew onboard Open Country.

UPDATE FROM OPEN COUNTRY

QUOTE
Good morning!

Over cast morning in Auckland, with about 3-5 knots breeze.

Looks like we might start with our Super Light weight North Sails No.1 genoa.

We have an outgoing tide 2 knots which will help us for the first 4 hrs.

Race Leaderboard

Sailonline was back in New Zealand for the 2014 running of the classic Auckland to Tauranga Race, and for the second year in a row, was associated with the official race. Unfortunately for the real racers, the wx in Auckland was "inclement" and the start had to be delayed, but the virtual race set off at the originally scheduled time.

This is the fourth time of running this race, the second with Young 11s, and our winner this year arrived in record time - beating the previous best (also set by a Young 11 in 2011) by 4h 20m. The challenge is now set! Congratulations to all three who took our podium this time

If you want to see how the leaders or top SOLers tracks compared with yours, you can do so easily by using the comparison feature at hmm's SOL Race Data Centre

SOL is back in New Zealand again this time to run the 2015 International Yacht Paints and PIC Insurance Brokers Auckland to Tauranga Race (start time 1 April @2100 UTC = 2 April @1000 NZDT). This is the fifth time Sailonline has run this course and the third time to do so in association with the official race.

First run in 1921, this is one of New Zealand's classic races - a brief history of the race is readable here

SOLer NZL_WairuaExpress is taking part on his beautiful Beale, Open Country and you can track them via Open Country's Spidertracks tracker

For this 124nm race, Sailonline will be sailing Young 11s.

Magical Mediterranean 2026 - Benghazi to Korcula

We return to Antiquity’s Middle Sea for a seventh celebration of all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil.

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Tall Ships 2026 - Stavanger to Aalborg


Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
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.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
