The Three Kings Offshore Race is a 500 nautical mile challenge from Auckland (Orakei) up and around the Three Kings Islands and then back to Auckland finishing where you started. The Three Kings Islands provide some of the worlds best diving and fishing locations (although hopefully you won’t be fishing too much during the race, or diving for that matter) and is just a beautiful, yet rugged place that is a must see you anyone who loves the ocean

Note that the real race is organised by RAYC. I have not contacted them about following them on SOL.

Hi Scotsman - only just saw this so have moved the thread, as requested.

Do you have dates for the IRL race? and... if you have contacts at RAYC (I only have an email from when we ran the Sail Noumea) please feel free to contact them! A buddy-up would be great :-)

Email sent to Suellen with cc to the general email address (I know she can be busy)!

Cross fingers/paws we get a response... then I can point her in your direction, Scotsman, and vice versa,in case of any local or other issues that need to be sorted between us :-)

Hope that's OK?

We need to pick a boat-type... ?Young 11(mod) or something else? What will be representative of the IRL fleet, d'you think?

Farr 38 / Farr 11.6 closer in speed to yy. Don't think we have a polar for a Stewart 34.

Farr 38 it is.

Got the NOR from RAYC website and have the race pretty much all set up.

I am adding in Cape Rodney and North Cape on the way there and back just to keep the sailing line pretty much offshore (rather than cutting across the North Island!).

Its looking good and I will post a "sneak preview" link after we have this afternoon's WX update, as at the mo the New Zealand WX chart is too small (last used for a Hauraki Gulf race).

Once you see the race, feel free to propose modifications as always!

:-D

No word (yet) from Suellen at RAYC but I live in hope.. it is a month away after all!

Red Eye - Hobart Convict Run 2026

Back in 2010, one of our SOLers of the first hour, AUS_Scott76, came up with this ‘Convict Run’ out from Hobart, past Cape Raoul and the penal colony of Port Arthur, round Tasman Island, up and back down the east coast of Tasmania, to finish with a tight technical run – so Scott called it – up the picturesque D'entrecasteaux Channel, home to Hobart once again. It’s 250nm, ideal for a bit of ‘Red Eye’ in comfortable Finngulf 43’s, and if the original idea was to pick up some convicts on the way for a bit of R&R and sea air, you may always drop’m back before returning to Hobart!

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville


Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Robinson Crusoe to Galapagos


Welcome to our first race of a new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, this first race taking you north from south of the Tropic of Capricorn to the Equator-straddling Galapagos, home of magical iguanas and other exotic fauna (but no mythical kings, Dory) Departing from the island where in 1704 adventurer Alexander Selkirk inspired Daniel Defoe to write the best-seller "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", by debarking off the unsound "HMS Cinque Ports", four months before she foundered off the coast of present-day Colombia, we will sail the 2200nm in our decidedly sounder and faster than the " Cinque Ports",
