2012-06-23 00:15:59 - Ecker Cup 1000nm race October 2012
Ahoi Racers !

Since we hardly have Austrian
ocean races, it could be nice
to run the Ecker Cup 1000nm
race starting on 13th of October
2012. It is actually 1070nm this
time in two legs :

Leg 1 : Zadar in Croatia to
Kalamata in Greece, 550nm

Leg 2 : Kalamata to Alanya
in Turkey

It might even be possible
to buddy up with the race.

Since this is a "fun event"
for hobbyists on a timeframe,
real competitors are allowed
to use engine (hard to imagine,
I know). 1 engine hour equals 2
sailing hours..

Still I think if we use polar
of one of the bigger competing
boats we should be able to keep
up with the real fleet...

Link to route

Background

My father will race our 40 feet
boat Lizza Forte in this race
and he would be pleased to use
SOL as additional resource for
racing..

As boat I could imagine TP52,
First 47.7 or maybe class 40.....

Fair winds,

Roland

This looks like fun - and an area of the planet where SOL has not really spent much time! What a great idea :-)

Hi stoerte - d'you think SOL's First 40.7v2 is comparable with Lizza Forte??

The course is in the draft October calendar (about to be published in the calendar forum) but we haven't picked a boat yet!

The first leg of this race is now available for preview. Please note that to make the finish line "work" SOL has had to introduce a waypoint into a race that, in reality, has no waypoints at all.

To preview the race (it will be open for a few days before being archived), just do the following:

Login as the sol boat:

USERNAME: sol
PASSWORD: sol

Raja Muda Selangor 2026 - Port Klang to Pangkor

Sailonline is delighted to be able to offer online sailors an opportunity to once again compete in all three of the offshore races of the Raja Muda Selangor International race week, organised by the Royal Selangor Yacht Club in association with the RORC, and commencing with a 75nm trip from Port Klang to Pangkor. This year we will be racing this race, and the other two, which together will count towards our Sailonline Raja Muda Series (RMI), in X-332s.
Be careful at the Pangkor Island marina – there are tidal currents of 1-2 knots, which make mooring to floating docks quite tricky.

Skimmer Dragonfly - India to East Africa 2026

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
