As an armchair sailor you may dream of ripping up 100 dollar notes as fast as you can, under a cold shower, deprived from sleep, doing an ice-bucket challenge every 5 minutes. For the real life thing, please sign up with folks like Bekking, Cauldrier, Boris Herman or Rosalin Kuiper
For the next best thing we offer you to participate in this years edition of The Europe Race series, in the sailing simulator SailAway. Racing a sailyacht in some 40 – 800 NM oceangoing races. During the season there will be some 90+ races all around Europe. Particpate in a minimum of 7 races to qualify
We invite sailors to join us in places like Odessa (UKR), or in Klaipeda (LIT) for a series of races going from European Seaport to European Seaport.
Be carefull when and how you race. Offline the boats will sail as fast as you on average are when sailing online. Being fast online means being fast off-line.
Be carefull about what boat you race. Race results are determined by applying a Time Correction Factor based on the known performance of all boats of a particular design. Boats may favor different weather conditions. Choose wisely.
For entertaining the spectators there may be non scoring short coastal races the day of the start of the races. These races are open to all SailAway e-sailors, also the ones that don’t participate in The Europe Race.
By organizing many races from 20 NM – 600 NM, there are enough races that can fit every e-sailor’s schedule.
By utilizing a rating weighed for experience ( time spend on the water) and reliability ( repetitive results) skill of individual e-sailors can be compared without ever sailing against eachother
In the end a rating of ot the e-sailing skill of you, the team or club your represent is determined. Your rating does not depend on the time you spent on the water, except for a minimum nr of 7 races.
Weather you sail manualy or with automatic trim is up to you. DNF, DNS etc are scored with a finish time proportional longer than the finish time of the last boat.
