	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.

	TYPBC 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 --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2015-04-02 09:06:56 ---

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. ______________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2015-04-02 09:09:25 ---

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!
