The SWR will be over in the first couple of weeks in April. The weekend of the 14th might be a big enough window for leg 1 of the Shackleton race.

LA-Tahiti starts on the 20th with some fast boats entered. Can we stomach crossing the Pacific the other way so soon after doing it W-E :-) ?

Actually the 20th might be a better start date for Shackleton as well.

Both would probably involve running 3 races during the Sea2Sea, but at only 20nm I'm not sure that that's an issue.

76T why do you say

The SWR will be over in the first couple of weeks in April.


As far as I can see from the official race website the last race won't complete until July!!!

:-)

I think we will run the Tahiti TransPac later in the year (we aren't buddied) and... it is the Vuelta that is 20nm not the Sea2Sea which is 295nm I've corrected the calendar)!

But we definitely need to get a Shackleton on the move .. preferably before we head into Tall Ships season!

Leg 5 :-P

Leaders should be done in 2weeks, with a longer gap this time until the next leg starts.

(sol-boat posting in the forums is stranger than ever... I've been logged in as 76T, posted and raced/reload clients since last time I used sol to check a race... nothing changed since my previous post or the one on Lolla's thread, and I show logged in as 76 grrr)

Fab!! If you think we have time to get Shackleton under way then lets go for it :-) I am deliberately keeping the calendars relatively spare of detail to allow flexibility!

Re swapping log-ins, I think it just takes a moment or two for the server to effect a change if you use the same browser. I tend to use different browsers, IE for sol, Chrome for 'Chaser.

Susan Hood Trophy Race 2026

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes racers to Sailonline’s virtual version of their annual Susan Hood Trophy Race. This year, this pleasant weekender on western Lake Ontario will be of about 60nm in length, and online for convenience will start and finish at the Port Credit Yacht Club (PCYC). At or before the real-life Skipper’s Briefing a decision will be made to race the course clockwise (course Delta) or anti-clockwise (Echo). If there is time we will match this online. As before, the race is the first of two that will count towards a special Sailonline's LOOR Series medals, but this year we sail in Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300s. Bon voyage!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - St Helena to Cape Verde


The fourth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us out of the Pacific into the Atlantic for a 2200nm race in Judel Vrolijk 62’s, from the desolation of St Helena, there where Napolean Bonaparte saw out the end of his life, to the even greater desolation of Fogo in the Cape Verde’s. You’ll have to cross the equator, with the coasts of Africa and South America your only navigational restrictions.

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
