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!

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


In the autumn, when the rains stop and the tourists thicken in Goa and along the north western coast of India, globe skimming dragonfly climb to the skies (up to 1500m) to catch the high-altitude ITCZ winds and glide south west to East Africa. We’ll stay at sea level, where alas the winds will be less predictable, and race them there, the whole 2400nm of the way, in Carkeek 40s.

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!
