    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!

    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.

Current Races:

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

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!
