Commentary

Another race has now been written into the logbooks—this one marked by calm consistency rather than dramatic shifts in strategy. The fleet sailed in tight formation throughout, with no significant tactical deviations to set boats apart. Favorable winds graced the first half of the course, offering sailors beam to broad reaching conditions. The latter half, however, brought strong headwinds, turning the race into a grind toward the finish. Despite the challenge, the competition remained incredibly close: the top 10 boats crossed the line within just one hour of each other, with the podium places decided by a mere 15 minutes.

The leaders sailed approximately 4,400 nautical miles over a 4,100nm great circle route—indicating a relatively direct course with minimal detours. The winning time of 10 days and 6 hours translates to an impressive average speed of nearly 18 knots.

By the time of writing, 114 out of 127 participants had completed the journey—an excellent turnout for a race that demanded focus and endurance over flair and risk.

Commentary

Eighty one SOLers completed at least one run in the TuziTekwini TIMED race. Almost two hundred attempts were made with a handful of boats still on the course as time ran out. The winning times were turned in on day 5 of racing with the top five finishers separated by razor thin margins. The time difference between 1st and 2nd was only one second; 2nd and 3rd three seconds; 3rd and 4th two seconds; and 4th and 5th sixteen seconds. The race report from KaSToR includes a screen shot of these results.

A special thank you to the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) for inviting Sailonline to partner with them for this virtual version of their race. There was a larger than usual contingent of racers from South Africa and we hope the new comers enjoyed their time racing with us.

Isle of Wight RTI Sprint 2025

FELICIDADES rafa !!!

Reports

Commentary

The Isle of Wight RTI race is iconic, historic, and IRL a congested and difficult challenge with crowded waters, tricky winds and the Solent tides to contend with. In SOL more congestion is welcome, and tides are not in play, which leaves the winds and for some an overnight start time as the biggest headache. Ah, but then there are the Needles, which according to the chat your reporter gleaned several boats navigated on the wrong side of. If you managed the Needles okay there was still several areas of the coast to avoid, and not everyone did. Once everything was settled it was rafa who managed it best. The critical bit turned out to be the navigation in the Solent from Cowes to the Needles. Racing was extremely close as well, with the top 10 finishing exactly 1 minute apart, and the top 6 within 19 seconds. You are encouraged to read the excellent report by Satori above.

With Q2 sprints in the books, it was rafa taking top quarterly honours, followed by CollegeFund and HoratioPugwash. For the annual championship CollegeFund is out front with a nice lead, but HoratioPugwash has a tenuous second place followed closely by CriticalHippo and rafa. With two quarters to go anything can still happen. See you in July for the start of Q3 sprints.

Commentary

The Bay to Bay Series concluded in thrilling fashion with its second leg, a dynamic 24-nautical-mile sprint through the Great Sandy Marine Park. Our SOLers again showcased their tactical skill aboard their agile 18-foot skiffs.

CriticalHippo from the USA demonstrated exceptional strategy, recovering from a mid-pack start and leveraging optimal polar hopping tactics to secure victory by a tight margin of 31 seconds over KaSToR from France. Speedwagon from Sweden sailed impressively, claiming third place.

CriticalHippo's consistent performance earned then overall series victory, with fellow American sailors brellis and CollegeFund rounding out the series podium, highlighting a dominant United States presence! Be sure to read the fantastic reports provided by CriticalHippo and KaSToR!

Congratulations to all racers for their outstanding performances in an exciting series finale!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
