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.

Hawk - I will set it up this coming week and if we need to tweak the waypoints I will mention it here :-)

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).

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
