2015-05-19 10:59:23 - Possible Ocean Race
Perhaps it would be fun to do an ocean race which recreates some of the original migrations of the Pacific Islanders. Here is one suggestion. A race from Beru Island, Kiribati to Bora Bora in Tahiti. It's a race of some 2400 miles across the Southern Pacific Ocean. The original migrations actually started from Indonesia, but this is a subsequent path, once the early voyagers had arrived in Kiribati.

No marks..atoll lagoon to atoll lagoon.

G'day Dingo - not sure if the SRC has been in contact with you directly but your race is included in the Q3 Calendar.

OPS is now going to be setting this up so we will be looking at your kmz. If there's "owt" missing, we'll be in touch by email directly.

Setting Up Races is always a good place to start

Otherwise there will be a URL posted here for preview by the sol boat in a wee while :-)

Any questions just holler!

Rather than go straight to the race setup ... below is a link to the kmz I have made for this one based on Dingo's suggestion.

To create this, I "found" both places in Google Earth, added a waypoint to each, then checked the coordinates of the GE waypoints vs Sailonline because of map-offset (I did this by opening a race and finding the coords and making sure the island shape I found looked like that in GE) and made the necessary adjustments.

The kmz now contains the info that OPS can use to set up the various elements of the race.

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!

Welcome to yet another all-new route. This next race is part of our Ocean Championship as well as the ROW series. Falklands to Tasmania, is like last year's island to island. It’s one of the longer ones 6400nm, more than half way around the world (and the Antarctica). It starts the 2026 OCQ2, and will be sailed in our Steinlager 2, contrary to prior notice.
