Rather short notice, but I've quickly created a kml for it. (Not 100% sure about the waypoints).

HTH,
Philip

This race is already set up and in the race calendar.. because SOL is not permitted to use the same name as an IRL race as they are mostly copyrighted these days and subject to brand sponsorship etc.. the SOL race is in the calendar as Ron Cazar (spanish for Rum Hunt) :-)

Thanks Schakel but race is already setup and hot-to-trot!!! :-D

Salut filou - this post is in the General Discussion Forum.. if you go back to the Board menu you will see a Forum called Race Calendar - it is in there you will find links to the current calendar and to the drafts for the next two months. January will appear shortly.

SOL will be racing its St Malo to Guadeloupe Ron Cazar starting 1 November at 1000utc. The IRL start is 31 October but as you will see from the SOL calendar, on that day we have the Boston timed race still running, a short/fast Swedish archipelago race and (possibly) people still finishing a race in Italian waters.

The fact the IRL boats are a little ahead of us should make our race all the more interesting!

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.
