Africa by Sea - Abidjan to Swakopmund 2025 - RESULTS

Commentary

As the Irishman said to the Englishman, when asked directions: ‘Well, if I were you, Sir, I wouldn’t start from here’, and if he'd cared to explain, he might have suggested Rio de Janeiro, rather than Abidjan, as a better point of departure to avail of more favourable winds. Nevertheless, on the 14th day of May (or later), 97 SOLers set off on a long if balmy upwind slog to Namibia's Swakopmund.

Ten days later having covered some 2500nm, the first of the fleet started to arrive in said windy city perched precariously between the Atlantic Ocean and the Kalahari Desert, led in by the USA's CriticalHippo, who had best picked the shifts. In total, a further 77 SOLers made it across before the race was closed, proving our introductory Irish friend to be wrong on this occasion, notwithstanding that other great navigators like Magellan and da Gama would have agreed with him.

Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race to our online community.

The TuziTekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa, from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.

Our online version of the race will be a TIMED event, and will be open to all comers from June 1 12:00 UTC onwards for two weeks, over which period you may attempt as may runs as you like, always, however, after having first finished your previous run(s).

Sailonline’s virtual yacht for all your runs will be our much-loved Farr 38, a boat that will relish the always challenging conditions along the east coast of South Africa.

So, join us for an exhilarating virtual journey. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a passionate spectator, the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race on Sailonline.org offers a thrilling blend of competition and camaraderie.

Experience the excitement from the comfort of your home! Don't miss out on the opportunity to test your sailing skills in the online race and be part of the virtual yachting event!

CONGRATULATIONS Patrick70119 !!!
GRATULACJE WRmirekd !! TILLYKKE SKOVSER !

Commentary

Oh, what a race it was. The first leg was actually calm, although the weather changes caused a bit of confusion before entering Chesapeake Bay. KaSToR unexpectedly withdrew from the race, and a moment later, Kipper did as well. It's a shame because they were at the forefront of the race, and the fight was shaping up to be very interesting. SKOVSER was the first to arrive in Chesapeake, and it seemed that nothing could take his victory away from him. However, the bay showed its unpredictability, and the wind kept changing its mind. Patrick did great here, taking the lead again, which he didn't give up until the finish line, although WRmirekd was hot on his heels despite the big mistake he made just after the turn sign. SKOVSER came in third at the finish line, but congratulations also go to Smo and YANN.

Reports

Commentary

After two weeks of racing the question of which skippers would ascend to the podium wasn't answered until the final minutes of the race. Kipper1258 finished at 22:51:00 UTC with only 9 minutes to spare. rumskib and KaSToR both finished at 22:47 separated by only 4 seconds! In fact, the top 10 boats all finished with less than an hour of racing remaining. Who says you shouldn't put things off until the last minute or in this case the last eleven hours.

A total of 74 boats completed at least one run out of 165 attempts, and the boat to complete the most runs was SOLer weekend with an impressive total of 9. Congratulations everyone!
