2010-12-22 01:09:09 - Sydney Hobart Race 2010
I am sorry if this has already been raised and discussed but is it too late to run this race again starting 26 December 2010. It has been run by SOL for a number of years and is one of the top 5 ocean races in the world. It is a good race for the Aussie SOL'rs. I guess it would be good to have a maxi yacht so we can challenge the IRL line honours race yachts.

It's on the calendar starting 0600 UTC on the 25th, which is... 1700 local the same day?

It's set up with the 90' mono. Alfa Romeo and Leopard aren't on the start list this year, but 2nd place Wild Oats XI and 4th Investec LOYAL (Maximus) are there as well as Wild Thing and Lahana.

We might want to switch to the Supermaxi to keep up with new boats. We matched up ok last year in the 90' though. The forecast winds are 20+ knots close reaching after a downwind start. Our polar for the 90'mono is actually a little (perhaps optimistically) faster upwind - the canting keel stretch version beats it on reaches and downwind.

Thanks for the info 76 and garganey. I should have looked up the SOL extensive race calendar. I was just expecting to see it coming up in the Next Race area and "what do know, voila", there it is this morning. Good to see you back on the race course 76, I watched you leading, then drifting thru the doldrums in the Xmas Is race, a good race with South group leading, then North group, then South group again and then the well south group looked to have a storming finish until the wind veered behind them towards the end.

The calendar does indeed say that the start is on December 25 - as quoted by 76Trombones above.

However, the NOR says the 26th. I'm assuming the latter is the correct date, or?

Rapallo to Nador 2026


Welcome to Liguria’s Rapallo, there where Zarathustra spoke - at length - to Nietzsche, for our first race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil. A number of our races in this new Magical Mediterranean series will be partnership with famous real-life races, but this first race is pure fiction - 780nm in refurbed IMOCA 60s, past or through the Balearic Isles and on into the Alboran Sea, to a finish off Nador on the Maroc Mediterranean coast.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
