I'm fitting this race and a re-run of the Sydney Auckland tall ship race around the forthcoming sailonline world race. I pencilled in the tall ship race in November, but can easily switch these.

For anyone interested in local charts for this race, I suggest starting with the NOAA interactive chart viewer

6 October - comments from chat:

Too bad the mark at Rose Spit is not further into the Strait. Be nice to get back outside into the wind after rounding. IRL if you cut that corner close you'll run aground.

Also IRL there is a strait betweem Graham Is and Moresby Is. There is a narrow section in the middle of that passage that is probably like Deception Pass when the tides run through.

Our 2016 Autumn Migration is coming to a close but hopefully we'll be back soon to Isla Magdalena - perhaps even for a return, Spring race, back up to the feeding grounds!

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!

This year, we command the magnificent Falkun—the ultimate high-tech superyacht modeled after the iconic Maltese Falcon. This 1759nm slalom takes us through the Caribbean’s rum islands to plunder barrels from local distilleries and deliver them to the rum-parched sands of Cancun.

Join SYC before the finish to disguise yer boat with a pirate name for this race only. Hoist the sails, sharpen yer cutlasses, and plot your winning course!
