Commentary

The A3 - Agage's Around Australia Series was first designed in 2012, following the sudden death of Aaron Gage, by fellow Aussie SOLer Tyger. Our departure from Adelaide back then was set against a background of great sadness. Eight years on and SOLers continue to remember Aaron, creator of the Flash client that has served us so well, and we continue to re-run this epic series almost yearly, sharing fond memories and smiling at what a contribution Aaron made. He would be stoked!

For this last leg then, the fleet switched boats one more time, to what turned out to be a highly appropriate craft. Clipped on to our super-charged swing-keeled by-now-vintage Volvo 70s, once clear of Cape Leeuwin, we surfed downwind across the Australian Bight in near record time. With the leaders recording elapsed times of c 2 days 09:45 hours, the Gage Roads start-line to Brighton and Seacliff club-line of c 1350 miles was covered by them at an average speed of c 24.5 knots!

Amazingly enough, after all those hours, it was only seconds that separated the podium with Brazil's Naga (Torben - Snipe, Star and Southern Ocean champion - Grael) Jolokia pipping Cork's bonknhoot, who had led at the turn into the St Vincent Gulf, with Flensborg's rumskib, who had led midway across the Bight, coming in a close third. As always on SOL, an international, intercontinental podium. Three cheers, all three! Hip hip hip!!!

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
