2014-06-01 13:48:01 - ANZ Sail Fiji 2014



Sailonline is delighted to announce that it will be partnering with Royal Akarana Yacht Club for the running of ANZ Sail Fiji 2014 which starts in Auckland on Saturday, 7 June at 1300hrs local (0100UTC).

RAYC has a long history of bluewater racing - it introduced the first trans-Tasman race in 1931 and its first race to Suva, Fiji. was in 1956. This year's ANZ Sail Fiji Race is the continuation of this tradition. RAYC is particularly pleased to see "Big Red", Steinlager 2, listed among the entrants. Steinlager 2 is owned by the NZ Sailing Trust which aims to preserve yachts from the past to inspire future generations of New Zealand yachties. Sailonline will be sailing its Steinlager polar to make a truly historical competition!

In 2014 there are 22 entries racing in 2 Divisions with the 2005 – Auckland to Suva Race Record of Konica Minolta (3d 10h 47m 40s) to beat.

2014 Entry List

Here is a screenshot from Expedition showing the real Steinlager 2 amidst the fleet of SOL clones.

Rod has just crossed Steinlager 2 and tacked to cover.

Very cool!

Are you writing a racing blog at all? I was thinking it would be fun to put something on the homepage now as we are more than halfway to our destination! :-D

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.

Race to Up Helly Aa 2026

A-OI!!! The fiery spirit of Shetland’s legendary Up Helly Aa returns, and Sailonline’s annual race to Lerwick is once again upon us. Covering 383 nautical miles from Aberdeen, SOLers will tackle winter waters steeped in Viking tradition. This year, we race the classic Frers 33, a proven cruiser-racer born from the golden era of offshore racing and still a sturdy performer both on the virtual and real water. Can you master the course and reach Lerwick in time for the flames?

SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.
