Re: Canton to Calcutta...

Canton to Calcutta is simple...should only take an hour~. First take Oh170 to US 30. Northwest on US 30 to just past Lisbon, then right on Oh172 to Calcutta.

Bumping this one as potential in-fill for SWR? 4-race series in the opposite of a Volvo70 :-)

Also the ice-yacht race through the NW passage, which is in the system and doable now that we have weather that far north.

For some reason I thought we had previewed this race but there is nothing in this thread about it.

So... to preview it, just log in as the sol boat (username: sol / password: sol) and then click here

I know we are in the throes of the Tall Ships series so folks will probably want a break, but this would make a brilliant end-of-summer/heading-into-autumn race.

What say you?

NOTE: the preview is now closed (was open for 48hrs).. can open it again as/when there is interest.

Tall Ships Races 2025 - Le Havre to Dunkirk


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is between the French ports of Le Havre and Dunkirk; circa 125nm in Sailonline’s magnificent 90m Barque.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
