2013-07-11 22:16:00 - Simrad Series
Here is a link to free NZ RNC charts:

NZ RNC zip

Apparently, New Zealand has decided to remove encryption from their official RNC charts. This link gives you a 'sampler' of charts in the new format. The implication is that ALL NZ charts will soon be available in the new, unencrypted, format.

The good news is that one of the charts in the sampler -- Approaches to Auckland -- covers the race #1 and race #2 areas of the Simrad Series.
So...
If you like to follow SOL races in charting software, this is your link!
And...
I suggest that 'kudos' are in order for the folks in NZ who are making accurate charting data more readily available.

Sailonline is delighted to be returning to Auckland, New Zealand, as the virtual partner of SSANZ for the annual three-race Simrad series - the biggest short-handed race and the second biggest keelboat race in New Zealand.

Raced over 50nm (13 July), 60nm (10 August)and 100nm (7 September) the three races will all start from Auckland, on New Zealand's North Island, and race around the Hauraki Gulf. This year SOL will again be sailing Young 11(mod) boats which should keep us competitive with the bulk of the fleet.

SOLer NZL Yachtyakka will be sailing on Promise, a Stewart 34. If any other SOLers are taking part - do let us know!

Rapallo to Nador 2026


Welcome to Liguria’s Rapallo, there where Zarathustra spoke - at length - to Nietzsche, for our first race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil. A number of our races in this new Magical Mediterranean series will be partnership with famous real-life races, but this first race is pure fiction - 780nm in refurbed IMOCA 60s, past or through the Balearic Isles and on into the Alboran Sea, to a finish off Nador on the Maroc Mediterranean coast.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
