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!

Bornholm PYOC


Welcome to the Baltic Sea, where we are about to hold another sprint race. The course runs from the north to the south of the beautiful Bornholm island. There are only two waypoints, the start and the finish so the choice of which side of the island to sail along is up to you. Our Albin 79s will cover a distance of approximately 23 nautical miles.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!

This year, we command the magnificent Falkun—the ultimate high-tech superyacht modeled after the iconic Maltese Falcon. This 1759nm slalom takes us through the Caribbean’s rum islands to plunder barrels from local distilleries and deliver them to the rum-parched sands of Cancun.

Join SYC before the finish to disguise yer boat with a pirate name for this race only. Hoist the sails, sharpen yer cutlasses, and plot your winning course!
