CKH - haven't got a race date.. it might be as soon as March, though, as its good for the race calendar to have a race in each of SOL's main timezones each month :-) That's the intention anyway!

You also need to select a suitable starting time.. the sort-of rule being trialled at the moment is:

Mon-Fri - the utc equiv of local 1800hrs
Sat-Sun - the utc equiv of lcoal 1000hrs

BUT race designers can pick the start-time for their races!!

SJORA Florida Current Race 2011

Ahhhh warm sunny ocean race! Strip of the foul weather gear and sail in your shorts!

A 222.2nm three legged race: Leave Port of Palm Beach Florida in a j30, crossing the Florida Current to Freeport Bahamas. Crossing the Florida Current again to Port of Miami Florida. A quick sprint up the SouthEast Coast of Florida, finishing where you started in Port of Palm Beach Florida. Stay awake for this one!

Fatigue may be setting in, but this last leg could decide the overall standings. Sailing the fast and responsive Sun Fast 3600, our skippers will need sharp tactics and steady focus to finish the series strong and claim victory!

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!

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.

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 make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.
