Weekend Races – Try out our new medium race around Toraigh Island in Northern Ireland
Hello Pioneers!
Here are this weekend’s races!
We’ve had a lot of requests for a medium-length race each week so this we have added exactly that! Let us know what you think in the comments.
Remember, if you don’t want to sail alone, you can look for a crew in the Multiplayer Forum, there are plenty of sailors looking for crew members or boats to sail with. Perhaps some of you more experienced sailors could team up with newbies and spread the knowledge?
