This year's run : 14 th july start 17:00

I don't know exactly what sailingships are used as i am not sailing myself.But hopefully somebody can identify a ships type from the website pictures . I expect it wil be something like a class 40

Maybe we can try to buddy up ?

Hi Tempest - thank you for this proposal. We have one race for the week leading up to July 14, proposed by Tarco but this will also be good.

I have sent a message to the organisers of CAMR via their online webpage contact form.
Tempest and everyone, I have now set this race up in SOL - the waypoints are all there and work as they are, even though they may not be giving precisely the rounding directions Tempest wanted. The SOL sailing line is generated by the server so to force a particular direction would need more waypoints which I think would be confusing. But it is up to you!

The race is now open for preview and will remain open for a couple of days so to look, just log in as the sol boat:

Username: sol
Password: sol

and then click here

The wx zone will update with the next update at 1630hrs this afternoon, so don't worry that the wind arrows are mismatching the course area.

Let me know what you think!

P.S. I picked an Elan 410 just at random.. any suggestions for a different boat from SOL's boathouse (based on the info provided by Tempest) would be appreciated!

RC , thanks however would like some changes.
you can leave the rounding sequence as is but please alter the positions of marks as follows to keep it close to sailing instructions (as TE entrance / exit is actually a gate).
TE 1 entrance new pos 053-40’ N 006-08'E
TE 1 exit new pos 053-46’N en 005-54'E

Finish to be moved aprox a mile north in between the two island
at 10-03E and 10-08E.
Finish length to be extended to aprox 2.7 miles.

Boattype to be advised
previous was Tempest as SOL , sorry
Tempest - any chance you can give me the coords in Decimal Degrees to save me having to run the conversion in Google Earth? :-D
TE 1 entrance 53.666 N , 06.133 E
TE 1 exit 53.766 N , 05.900 E

Islands aprox 10.05E and 10.13 E
Refresh... have adjusted all!

The SOL finish line is always, server-generated, perpendicular to the sailing line I am afraid.
I am sorry RC my misstake

TE 1 entrance to be moved to old position
053-38’ N 005-59’E
decimal 53.633N , 005.983 E

Finish center decimal 58.982 , 10.094E
perpendicular to course length 2.5 NM
Okie dokie!! Refresh again.... should look sweet now? :-)

New Ice Age 2026 - Browerville to Longyearbyen


Our 2026 long-distance ice-boating challenge continues with a second race in Arctic waters, now from Browerville, where we arrived less than a month ago, continuing east, back to Svalbard’s Longyearbyen, leaving Canada’s Ellesmere Island to port and Denmark’s Greenland to starboard. It’s about 2500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you more than a day or three, thus to complete your first (of several) online circumnavigation of the planet of 2026!

San Diego Islands Race 2026


Sailonline is proud to once again partner with the San Diego Yacht Club for the annual Islands Race! This iconic offshore challenge spans approximately 140 nautical miles, starting in Long Beach, rounding the Catalina Islands, and finishing in San Diego. Shifting coastal winds and tactical island roundings will test every sailor’s judgment and nerve.

This year, our SOLers will race the Ker 40, a proven high-performance design by Jason Ker and built by McConaghy Boats. Fast, responsive, and demanding, the Ker 40 rewards precision and smart strategy. The competition will be tight. Every decision will count. See you on the start line!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
