2010-07-13 05:28:24 - Kapiti-Chetwodes Course
Hi RC please find attached a suggested course for an upcoming weekend race. It can be run at any stage that you have a space. Either shortly as we are still getting strong southerlies at this time of year or later on in spring time (September October) Its based on a real course but we finish in the Marlborough Sounds and drink rum. Either cross the finish line and raft up or sail straight home and Send It after a few rums or during a few rums :))
Cheers NZL_undercover

FAB!!! Thank you undercover - weekend races are always needed... especially now as many of those who work full-time have even less time available for leisure and SOLing!!

undercover - have just set this one upin the system and am pencilling it in for the weekend of 1 October.

Is that OK with you? also, in the description you mention the boat-type "Class 40" - is that the same as First40.7?

Forgive my ignorance but, as you know, I am a landlubber IRL!!

The full list of boat-types currently available in SOL is in a sticky post at the top of this Race Proposals Forum.

Hi RC
The 1st of October sounds fine. Could we start the race Saturday night NZ time as most Kiwi's will be real sailing by then :)
Class 40 is on the SOL list quite a new boat. Single or double handed ocean racer.

Hi RC
Right log in this time :)
0700 1/10/10 sounds great.
Please can we have the Class 40 not the First 40.7. I posted the 2 boat sites for your information. As you can see very different boats.
You are doing a great job well done and thank you very much.
I hope the dog is still getting enough walks with all this SOL work :)

Cheers Undercover

undercover - OK .. Class 40 is set as is 0700 utc on 2 October so marshall your Kiwi racers!!!

Thanks for the "great work" compliement - its much appreciated!!

I have had a steep learning curve and my name is spread a bit too much over the site at the moment but hopefully, as everyone gets used to chipping in and proposing races and commenting on the calendar in the Forum and generally contributing, I won't seem so ever-present!!

:-D

P.S. neat pic.. which one are you?

Arms folded cap on. 0800 in the morning after starting the night before 18.30.
I was in charge for a change and letting the others drive. Watching the puffs and waiting to take over. We got maxed out in 30 knots of wind about 15 minutes later trying to get inside a lighthouse......between Cape Jackson and the light offshore it got very exciting:)

look at this

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
