I'm in.
I never knew how to use routing software and didn't have time to play with it! Maybe that's why I s*&k in these long distance races!

I think the DC can be tricky, especially with wind shifts and speed. I usually just try to do one leg at a time and hopefully come back in time to check it, before I get grounded or way off course.

Simple equation: R*T=D
Rate * Time = Distance

Hey, this was different.
Typo at start - went 278 (not 268) to position 580+.
Not one single peek until 170 nm from finish. Terrible at first, but all and all great feeling.
Fin pos. #61

Might try it for leg 3 also - with peeks maybe...

It was a great experience. Although my ranking on this one went out the window on the first two days...I've never been one to blindly follow the herd, but I must say that no contact with the fleet is a severe handicap. In sailing there is tactics (positioning your boat with respect to others) and strategy (overall game plan, weather routing, etc.) Without any contact with the fleet you really cannot fine tune your game plan, you just have to hope for the best, and since we are sailing OD (one design) and the caliber of the competition is so good you just can't make a big mistake because the odds of a comeback are not too good. I'll be sailing in the Corinthian Class on Leg 3 just not in the "Hardcore Division"...sorry Mull! I will be taking peeks for 15 minutes at every update. Congrats to Señor Svein winner of the Hardcore Division!! Me quito el sombrero!

Muchas gracias caballero Exmer.
I believe I'll be peeking in leg 3, which looks like it could become a drag race. There is a locomotive coming headed N of West. I'll try get on the back of it. Good winds to all Corinthians.

Oh heck - have some boats finished already :-))

I'm doing leg 3 blind as well - not seen another boat in weeks. last time I was handicapped by access issues, work issues, and memory issues, and my excuse this time will be this lack of work issues and generally being useless.

Can we leave leg 2 open for a little while longer? Like March?

I would be in favour of Corinthian class if it was just 'no routing software' and "no team racing'----but I don't agree with 'no knowledge of rest of fleet'. This was always available by radio, as was the weather. It would certainly be more 'old style' if you only had 'your own weather'
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Rod, there is no Rule claiming not to follow the Fleeet for the whole Race. I think, quite a lot, maybe most of us have a peek on the others a few times a day, simulating the oldschool Radio-Call-Ins once or twice a Day for security reasons, as it has been done in the Whitbreads.

FOR ALL CORINTHIAN SOLers:

I wrote a small web proxy in Java to allow you guys to define a 'line of sight' radius and filter out all boats outside that distance, but am having slight technical difficulty with it in the official SOL client, however in implementing my little tool set and showing races within Google Maps (later GE also hopefully), will allow for selective filtering such as this. Not quite ready for public release yet, but hopefully not long ;-)

2 pics cross-posted here, from the NZL race, but check the main thread for more info. (Note: visually it has improved somewhat since these SSs taken)

Edit: Corinthian Mode Proxy is now functioning properly:

Simple usage, just point your browser to the proxy and run it! It defaults to listen on port 8000 and filter out boats outside of a 10Nm radius from your own position, but can be configured. Only commandline atm, but will put on a GUI if people want that. Also for firefox users, there is an addon called FoxyProxy which allows for url patterns to be sent to a proxy only, which is recommended.

Here is a pic of IMOCA Leg 4 with it turned on:

That can be arranged if you like Rod ;-)

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 3

Leg Three of our Round North Island Series, in partnership with SSANZ, keeps the pressure on! From Cook Strait, the fleet turns north for a 187 nautical mile passage up the east coast to Napier. It may look like a quick overnighter, but shifting coastal winds and the ever-lively Cook Strait demand sharp focus. In our responsive Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed racer and powerful downwind performer, tactical decisions and precise timing will make all the difference!

The start time for this race may change at short notice to align with the real race. The confirmed start date and time will be announced via an in-race “L” flag message — Please monitor race communications closely.

Dyer Dhow Derby 2026


Most winter weekends, SOLer wsguerin and his friends at the Mamaroneck Frostbite Association venture forth on Long Island Sound to race Dyer Dhows, originally designed as WWII tenders. Indestructible little boats, great comradeship and serious short sharp races of 10 to 20 minutes duration. Sailonline now invites you to experience the joys of the Dhow in winter, virtually, by way of a slightly longer 14nm race: from Mamaroneck to Execution Rocks, over to the Gong Buoy and back to Mamaroneck. And if the wind pipes up to 20kn and beyond, you'll find SOL's customized polar will plane, rather than nosedive!

South China Sea Race 2026


Welcome all to the South China Sea and a virtual chase in Cookson 50’s of the Rolex South China Sea fleet, racing 650nm – as the local red-footed booby flies – from Hong Kong to Subic Bay on the southern tip of The Philippines’ Luzon Island. Chances are it will be a fast downwind ride, so see how you can keep up with the real-life fleet which we hope to be able to follow on our monitors.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 2

Leg Two of our Round North Island Series is where the real challenge begins. After Mangonui, our SOLers face a demanding 491nm passage around the top of the North Island and down the rugged west coast toward Cook Strait. Long miles, exposed waters, and relentless tactical choices will test every SOLer. In our powerful Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed performer and true downwind flyer, endurance, timing, and smart routing will be key to success!

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 1

Welcome to Leg One of the Round North Island Series in partnership with SSANZ. The four-leg circuit of New Zealand’s North Island is a true test of short-handed skill, and it begins with the 150nm passage from Auckland to Mangonui. This year, our SOLers will be racing the dynamic Sun Fast 3600 – Jeanneau’s renowned racer-cruiser and a proven flyer downwind. A gentle opener on paper… but coastal tactics and shifting breezes will demand focus from the start!
