OK, sneak preview time.

and then click here

Do you think we need to add a North Head waypoint (headland opposite RAYC) so that those who don't max zoom to start can see to go round the headland? For the start at least?

Per instructions: My only comment on the Three Kings Race, is the Start location.

Depending on start time, (wrong for somebody, somewhere.) and depending on wind, it looks like a tricky DC Start.

That might turn off people from entering?

We often see smaller fleets than those registered. (You have to register to see the details of the start location.)

Didn't manage to see the race online but I've no objection to moving the start line. Although, it isn't hard to set a dc for the first turn, so it isn't the toughest start line out there. The recent start to A3 was much more difficult and that still had a good turn out.

The kmz file had marks set up? I had Cape Brett rather than Cape Rodney and all the 3 Kings islands included. The marks you have set up are fine though and make no difference to the race.

Note that North Cape is called Cape Reinga. That is the only revision required.

Hi Scotsman - I have renamed North Cspe NZ to Cape Reinga and I have switched Cape Rodney for Cape Brett.

When I decided to set the race up yesterday I totally forgot to load your kmz.. I am v sorry.

However, we can't have a mark in the middle of the island group as the sailing line would require us to duck inside it (its how the server sets marks vs line) and the NOR has us leaving the entire group to port.

:-)

Maybe my idea of putting a mark on North Head will help folks with setting DCs for the start?

Thank you to those posting comments... 'tis much appreciated.

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
