I dont know if I do this right - but one must try to learn :-)

Also recomandations for a boattype will be appreciated.

Hi Hawk - thanks for this kmz.. all looks perfect to me (opened in Google Earth no problem)!

As you want this to tie in with your school programme do you have a particular week/month in which you would like this raced? To get good winds I would imagine October would be fun?

This will make a good weekend race :-)

As for boat-type.. what boats are used locally? Any ideas?

October is fine with me.
I´ll check boattypes shortly, and will return here - both a date for the race AND boattype!

PS! Is it possible to navigate in the low waters NE of Waypoint 2 ? I think it will be a challeging route there, but I dont know how it will show in the SOL-klient.

TY RC - btw, I think it is better to put WP2 up the nothern tip of Island Aeroe - can you do that, or do you prefer a new GE-file?

Great Race! I suspect the route may have to alter to WP1 as the Alssund may not show in the SOL client. I tried a race with an even larger water feature, and it did not show up. Alternative might be WP1 on the north tip of Nordborg (leave to starboard).

I'm sure your students will have a GREAT time with this race. Well done!

Can one sail under / over Sundbrovej 54d57.54N 10d39.21E?

The GE photos show it is very close to sea level.

By contrast the Brovejen 54d56.51N 10d42.27E looks much higher off the water.

IRL is there much tide here. It would be an interesting tidal challange in shallow twisting waters vs the straight course in deeper water.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Thanks SP !
Fortunally, I can see the course on the SOL-client in the TSR-race :-) It is actually possible to sail the Alssund.

Unfortually the SOL-client does not show the Store Bælt-bridge (WP3), so maybe that WP doesnt make sence!

Hi Paul

I cant fint the positions you mention, but it is possible to sail the route I have made, both on SOL and IRL. BUT not with a mast, 100 m high :-) I will find another boattype !

There is practically no tide in these waters but a lot of stream (not sure, if this is the word in English, sorry) at Strib Lighthouse (WP 5). This winter I saw a difference of sealevel because of the strong stream, at that point. An amazing sight, that I have only seen at "Saltstraumen" in North Norway (close to Bodö), but it was caused by the tide).

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.
