    OCEAN CHAMPIONSHIP RACES
    Board » General Discussion
    I think it is useful to define some "rules" to make the “Ocean Championship Races” more competitive and able to offer more opportunities to follow alternative routes.

    Assuming that there must be courses between a “Point A and a Point B” without intermediate buoys, the discussion mainly concerns the "rules" regarding duration time, distance and boat.

    I invite you to express your opinion regarding these topics of discussion:

    - Ocean Race Duration Time

    - Start/Finish Distance

    - Presence of Natural Obstacles near the Start and Finish Line

    - Suggestions about Favorite Boats for Ocean Races

    I personally believe that:
    - To have more interesting and competitive Ocean races, it's essential that the duration is approximately three weeks.
    With NOAA 16-day gribs you can calculate routes to the finish line and, consequently, everyone follows more or less the same route.
    If the grib stops a week before the expected arrival, it becomes interesting to study the evolution of the weather to identify the right WP to face the last week of the race.

    - Be at least 4,000/4,500 nm long, (obviously from A to B without intermediate buoys).

    - Any natural obstacles don't create problems, unless they are close to the start and finish lines.

    - No favorite boats, it is only important that performance boat is adequate to the distance and the time of 20/25 days expected to complete the race.

    FW all.

    Dear Rob,
    we have never met in person but I can say that I've known you very well.
    A deep friendship, born from many affinities and from the great shared passion for SOL.
    I lost a friend on the other side of the world: I will miss you!
    Fair Winds Rob.

    Ciao ij, one question: would it be possible to extend the Isochrone Calculator to 168 hours as you have already done for the Predictor(s) length?

    Thanks.

    I spoke with WINSTON today to suggest the idea of organizing an "Ocean Extra Large Championship" (six stages around the world, each with a length greater than 10,000 nm), he will present the proposal to the Board.

    Thanks,
    I’m happy that my wish, and of many other Solers, for open water races is part of the official Management plan 2021 and that next year the Ocean races, in general, will be more 'Open Water’.

    It would be great to know all the 2021 Championship Calendar at the beginning of the year (as it happens in real life) and I hope this tip can be useful for further SOL improvements.

    sol said @ 2020-12-11 12:18:31:
    I would like to ask the Race Committee a couple of questions about how the "Ocean 2021 Championship" will be managed:
    Who decides to participate in the "Ocean 2021 Championship", will finally have the opportunity to see the complete list of all 12 scheduled races or will it be possible to see only the 3 races of the first quarter as for the previous editions?
    Is there a guarantee that all the races scheduled for the "Ocean 2021 Championship" will be in open water, without unnecessary marks under the coast and with start and finish lines free of obstacles?
    Thanks.

PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2025

Welcome back to Auckland for the 2025 PIC Coastal Classic! In partnership with the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club, Sailonline is thrilled to race this iconic 118nm dash to Russell. First sailed in 1982 and inspired by early powerboat runs, it’s now a legendary multihull showdown. This year we race Ocean 50 foiling trimarans—fast, agile, and built for offshore performance. Expect tactical challenges, adrenaline-fueled downwind legs, and nail-biting lulls. Finish line rewards? Bacon butties, rum, and bragging rights in beautiful Russell!

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

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!

Camel or Balloon 2025 - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
