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!

Ahoi RC !

I'm happy to announce that Tias is allready creating a Lizza Forte Polar ! We will be able to sail the real boat. As well there will be a racetracker...

Cheers,

Roland

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

then click here

The Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!

Great Nicobar to Marion Island 2025

The Adventure Continues – Leg #6 of the RWW Series.
We’re setting sail on the next stage of the RWW Series: a 4,400-nautical-mile passage from Great Nicobar to Marion Island. This demanding leg will test endurance, strategy, and seamanship at the highest level. As part of the 2025 Ocean Championship, this marks the ninth legendary challenge in the series — and one of the most exhilarating yet. The race will be contested aboard the Archer 78’ ketch, a vessel built to push sailors to their limits across the vast Indian Ocean.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
