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?

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
