Sail Online offers online racers the opportunity to compete in a sophisticated simulation of the race in real-time 6-hourly NOAA weather updates. You too can join the race, from home, on holidays onboard a Class 40 yacht.
If you aren’t sure how it works, the test simulation will open on Sunday, March 9th at 06:00 UTC (17:00 AEDT) to enable everyone, especially newcomers, to learn the ropes in time for the start.
The real race starts at the time of the main start on March 16th.
