    Re: SWR Leg 6 Finish
    Board » Flag Officers » Races
    I don't really follow that logic. Instead of having a realistic finish or a shortened course for an appropriate finish to an ocean race, we have ended up with a course that will need numerous dcs to navigate a difficult mark rounding, avoid many islands and a 10nm final leg that will likely be upwind? The finish could have been 3nm east at the entrance to the inner harbour, where most of the local coastal and ocean races start and finish.

    SWR Leg 6 Finish
    Board » Flag Officers » Races
    The last WP Motuihe Buoy is very unlikely to be used the real boats. They will go down the Rangitoto Channel and be seen from the suburbs on the North Shore. This is a historic course that has been used on many previous ocean races. Very few ocean races or even the longer coastal races would have a mark to the SE of Motuihe Island.

    The finish in Auckland should be revised with the WP (if needed) located off North Head. Good practice with ocean races such as this would be to have the finish in relatively open water to allow those who like sleeping or working to have a reasonable chance of finish with dcs. I suggest the finish is in Rangitoto Channel.

    Very sad news. I sailed with Steve for a few years and he introduced me to SOL. He was always ready with an opinion and was a great sailor. Cheers mate.

    Very sad news. I enjoyed many a chat with Jim (javaboat). I'm looking across the blue sky and white caps on the ocean thinking of you, goodbye javaboat.

    The calendar is quite busy late Nov / early Dec, but there might be capacity to include this. The SWR Leg 2 will be well underway and there are a few week races.

    Do you think timed or fleet?

    Thanks RC, looks good. We might need to mention that the offshore mark means that the island can be passed on either side, before and after the mark.

This year we will race it all in very Meddy Dufour 40’s!

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!
