Regata dell’Accademia Navale 2025

Sailonline is honoured to have been invited to be the online racing partner of the Livorno International Sailing Week , organized by the City of Livorno, in cooperation with the local yacht clubs and the Italian Navy and to, for the very first time, host the online version of the Settimana’s flagship offshore race, the 630nm Regata dell’Accademia Navale .

The RAN 630 is a tricky race in often fickle winds across the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The race starts and finishes in Livorno and the triangular course takes competitors from there to a mark off Porto Cervo, then to Capri and home again.

New joiner to SOL AleBerny’s Class 40, Vaquita, should have competed in the real-life race, but unfortunately he has been inconvenienced. Instead, he will substitute his Akiliari-built, Marc Lombard design with a Sailonline Class 40, which will also be the yacht of choice for the rest of the virtual fleet!

The Sailonline virtual race will open for practice on April 17, to allow all new-comers plenty of time to learn the ropes so as to be competitive, before the start online on April 25 at 16:00 UTC.

Commentary

The Channel Islands 500 delivered an exhilarating offshore challenge, with Sailonline once again partnering with the Newport Harbor Yacht Club for a 500nm test of skill, speed, and strategy. Starting in Santa Barbara, our virtual fleet raced their Melges 40s between Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands and around three marks, before charging to the finish in San Diego.

As always, the race was tightly contested, with shifting conditions demanding smart routing and precision sailing. Rising to the occasion, WRmirekd of Poland secured another brilliant victory, navigating the course with tactical finesse.

Close behind, Patrick70119 of South Africa claimed an impressive second, while mac of Poland completed the podium in third, capping off a display of Polish dominance at the front of the fleet!

Congratulations to all competitors—especially the Newport Harbor Yacht Club on another successful regatta!

Commentary

San Diego's annual Islands Race—a 140nm sprint from Long Beach around the Catalina Islands to San Diego—delivered another thrilling edition, as our SOLers raced each other and the real-life fleet in parallel.

Sailing our Ker 40s, our SOLers faced shifting winds and tight tactical choices. From the outset, WRmirekd of Poland took control and held the lead throughout, sailing a flawless race to secure first place.

Hot on their heels, vida of Brazil claimed second, with ALP317 of France finishing third, capping off a fiercely contested podium.

This race once again showcased the realism and excitement Sailonline brings to offshore racing. Congratulations to all who took part—and especially to our top finishers!

Third was a battle as Patrick70119 finished 4th by one second.

Africa by Sea - Tangier to Abidjan


Whatever about pharaoh Necho II’s Phoenician expedition of the 7th C BCE, the Carthaginian Hanno the Navigator with more certainty sailed south from Tangier to explore the West African coast two centuries later, but how far he got is a matter of more conjecture. However, if he did the 2300nm to today’s Ivory Coast he would have found little there other than good shelter in the vast lagoons behind the dunes, much the same as today, excepting the highly industrialized port of Abidjan. Not a great haven for a stop-over but let’s take the 90ft Monohull anyway.

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
