The only issue with said course is the missing of SLI's. Big deal on this little lake, but noticable lack on the south from Plattsburgh Bay to Four Brothers. Need to put Crab Island and Valcour Island on the course. Both are historic obstacles that would add a bit of a tack or jibe on that leg. Thanks for choosing this little venue for a "sprint", although a 40nm course on Lake Champlain is not really a "sprint". Typical race on this weekend in IRL is a 73.8 miler from bottom of Shelbourne Bay to La Roche Reef (N) to Diamond Island (S), finish at bottom of Shelbourne Bay. Lake Champlain Yacht Club runs the "Commodore Macdonough" on this weekend.

Great points bmd. Will consider this if future running's occur.
Turned out to be a slow one. Will want a faster boat next time I think, but then we can easily have 25 kts winds blowing too.

Current Races:

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
