The Europe Race series, in the sailing simulator SailAway. Racing a virtual IMOCA 60 in some 40 - 800 NM oceangoing races. During the season there will be some 50+ races all around Europe. Starting October 1st 2021 and leading up to a final series in April 2022. Participate in a minimum of 7 races to try and qualify for the finals.

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 to gather in Lorient (FRA) in April 2022 for the start of The Europe Race finals

The races will be conducted in 2 boat handling modes, each having their own race: Full Auto allows you to turn on all automatic trim features SailAway has to offer, you just drive the boat. You can rest assured that your boat will continue with more efficiency in your absence, that allows your boat to finish first even if you are away from your computer (you know... jobs, family, etc). That is..., if you have plotted a winning set of way-points that will lead you to the finish. Being On-Line in this mode will rather be punished.

Full Manual is the mode for hard core armchair sailors that leave nothing to chance, all trimming is done manually. You prepare yourself or your team to run the simulator online 24/7 during races, cat napping on tight schedules as solo sailor or waking up your teams next crewmember to hand over the helm at the end of your watch. If keeping that boat under control with a code 0, J2 as staysail and a full main up, thundering down the waves hours on end is your thing, then this race is for you. As a safety precaution your boat will continue at 88.5 % efficiency so to not lose contact right away in case of network glitches.

For entertaining the spectators there may be non scoring short coastal races at noon of the day of the start or the races. These races are open to all SailAway e-sailors, also the ones that don't participate in The Europe Race.
A rating of your e-sailing skill is determined. Your rating does not depend on the time you spent on the water, except for a minimum.

Weather you sail off line or on-line is up to you but rating and scoring will be separated for each of these modes. Entering a race with the wrong mode can seriously harm your rating in that mode.
